That's a lot of grass! I think mine was about 85m2 which even then was a half day between me, wife and father in law! Shoveling the 19m3 of soil…

It's looking great, and kudos to your wife - the styling is spot on
Did you prep and lay the turf yourself?

Knockdown rebuild- Clarendon Hamilton 36
Great to see - and the Hamilton is an amazing design - I would have built it if our block was wide enough.
Looking forward to following along!

Aggregate Drive
They might mean adding a termite barrier on the join between the driveway and garage, like below

Looks amazing! You should be chuffed with the result - i would say end result, but the journey is far from over

Aggregate Drive
To give you an idea, I got exposed aggregate driveway and front border/path around house (including cutting out existing footpath), which was about 55m2 and that cost about $9800. If…

Looking really good, more photos please!

Those are the flat roof tiles right?
It's all looking great!

Moving in this week! What to do first when you move in???
Organise internet (if NBN hasn't been sorted, do this asap because they can be a bit tardy with their appointments to fit the connection box etc). It's arranged through your…

Carpet area around bar fridge
I'd think it'd be safe - as long as the fridge doesn't leak, which then goes into the carpet and stays wet and grows mould and becomes a hazard.... But…

Yeah that's right - they won't be wide gardens - 60-80cm. But that's plenty for maybe a hedge, a row of bamboo, some tropical shade loving plants... we'll make it…

I did slab, frame and pre-handover. Different people recommend different ones, but those were what was recommended to me.
I paid about $1300 for those three inspections. For slab, frame, enclosed,…
