Thank you, sir. Consider it done.

Thanks Fu, I thought as much but just wondered 'next steps'
They sit in fairly decent soil and had a dose of Seasol last…

We did them ourselves after handover. Flooring wasn't offered as an option when we tendered.

The interest levels improve significantly when you pay the commencement fee. It's fairly understandable for a smaller builder as they must get so many 'tire kickers' who saw, 'wooo, the…

Hi CherryB,
We built the Caprice with Provincial. We moved in 3 months ago and I have the utmost admiration with the job they did. Our SS was/(is!) fantastic and we…

The wall is solid sandstone. Each block is 2m long by 500mm x 500mm. Each weights 1.5ton. Not cheap, but ain't going anywhere

Spotted this thread and just wanted to say we went through the same dilemma regarding the step down into alfresco area. We were restricted by the inspection holes so have…

Hi Goodyear,
We just completed our outdoor shower near the pool. Went for the hot and cold option as teenagers and grandparents get picky! The rose is 30cm diameter which might…

Hi Jim,
After months of research I went for the Beefeater Signature 4 burner. Ours is the built in version. Full stainless steel and not cheap, but very good quality.

Hope this…

Thanks - it's been a long journey but finally feel like we are getting somewhere

We used Austral Urban One range - colour Olive

I finished the backyard landscaping just in time for the weekend's planned party. The rain in Sydney last week was a real problem but we got it all down, just…

You can count on it DW is seriously snap happy...

After exhaustive research, we are also going for the Quickstep Eligna (Oiled Walnut). If they did a Largo in a similar colour we would go for that. Prices in Sydney…

Our *lumbering oaf of an excavator operator* recently smashed a large branch off a tree we are trying to retain during the build. This is despite protection fences, notices etc…

Thanks. PM sent.

Where are you located?

We at Frame stage and our builder is quoting us $650 make provision for a capped waterpoint in the fridge cavity. This seems excessive to me. Anyone else had this…

Hi Guys,
We went for the Urban One range in their Olive colour. Was initially very nervous about the choice but they look great once up.

Hi Caz,
Your bricks look great We also went for the Urban One range but ours are the olive colour. Our ground floor…

Purchase only they are about $300 per block, so work out to $150ish per lin meter. Not cheap, but it's really fast to install and looks great once done.

Great thread
We've just put in about 30m of retaining walls between 2m to 0.5m. We went for monster sandstone blocks (2m x 500mm x500mm). They…

Hi,
That looks like a good price for the quickstep fully installed. Works out at $63/m2. I have a quote for the largo wideplanks at 53/m2 without install (which is usually…

We did our elec plan with Clipsal today and went for the white Saturn in the prominent areas (kitchen points etc). The rest will be slimline. It cost a small…

Where are you building, and which design?
Jonathan
