I'm no expert but that timber looks like it has been treated differently (or not at all). I don't remember this happening to any of my frame work. Maybe get…

Our place is a bit of a mess at the moment. Still settling in. Empty rooms. Bare walls. Butcher paper in the windows! Outside surrounded in dirt! I'll post some…

Wow!! Our house is so bare compared to this. Looks amazing!!! I like the stain of the stairs. We went dark like the display home and every speck of dust…

Hi Everyone! Well I'm happy to report that we got handover done on the 21st (last Friday).
Everything went reasonably well. Although, we had to take a leap of faith…

Thanks Steve and Fiz.
Not painted yet. I'm skeptical about a Tuesday PCI. We'll see.

We upgraded the brick. That was 15k. But to do the brickwork in lieu of the cedar, we never got a price. We had deleted it before the tender stage.

Some interior shots:

We didn't go for the panels. Didn't want to maintain them. We also wanted a simpler look. That's why we did not do the rendered column either. We splurged on…

The interior is pretty much done. All that is left is the rain tank, garage door, some eave carpentry, hand rail and the driveway. So close.

Yeah, nothing happened from 23/12-21/01.
They seem to be back on track. No specific PCI date set but was verbally told 3 weeks.
My friend got his handover from Rawson…

Not really. Sometime in March??
Left to do: Lower eave carpentry, Garage door, driveway, water tank, aircon unit, HW unit, backdoor step.
I hope to have more detailed info tomorrow.

We just clocked over the 43 week mark. The contract is 43 weeks plus 3 for Xmas. Plus any rain days.
Your experience may be different. It really depends on…

I haven't brought it up yet. I think the only way to fix is to repoint those areas.

Despite the bricks being cleaned a few months ago, there are spots of efflorescence starting on the brick work. Apparently it happens when salt gets into the mortar.

I think they've sent everyone over to your place because nothing has happened in the last week! Find someone to mind the kids and the pup. It will make life…

No, we've notified the SS and his manager but they have not gotten back to us.
