Hi All, Long time no post!
We finished our final round of maintenance last week, was just a few plaster patchings and paint touch ups.
Everything on my maintenance list has now…

We've been very happy with our aircon unit, though the only extensions we've made to the house size were 1m at the back, which would (hopefully) mean the default unit…

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all those still checking this forum post
Here's to Rawson completing all your builds in 2014!

To be honest I had a few friends over and we did the deck oiling over 2 days. I need to do a 2nd coat but the weather's been so...…

Backyard is now done! Hooray for fences, I never liked looking into my neighbour's backyard

Pity about the tree that's there in the middle that the…

Congrats S36! Looking great.
I'm finding the number of things still 'to do' around the house are piling up!
Every weekend I try and knock off 3-5 things, and the list still…

It's spotted gum, with Integrain 'Jarrah' oil used.
I think it's a bit red but my wife loves it.
The deck looked so nice straight up with just water on it,…

Our 'upstairs' doesn't squeak or creak at all... because it's still on the slab (technicalities!)
Took a few days, but I'm finally done with coat #1…

Sounds a bit tough Jen
I think my wife would murder me if I said we were moving out any time in the next 50 years.…

Conslabulations SheridanBenjamin! Onwards and upwards.

I bought from Bunnings:
1x spatula looking thing that was flexible for putting the plaster fillter on
1x tub of plaster join stuff
1x sanding block
DONE!
I got up on a stepladder and just…

rawson_k, you'll find that EVERY builder does the exact same thing with the aircon vents.
They leave it up to the contractor to place them for 'best airflow' (is the reason…

That library room is the one that has the vent really close to the wall

Yeah the vents are weird, you don't get consulted at all on where they go, and unless you're there ON THE DAY, you can't adjust anything they might do that…

Thanks for all the comments guys
Glad to have the landscaping done, now for some fences!
Also have to organise the garage epoxy flooring so we…

More Landscaping, pretty much done.

Got a call from the maintenance guy we have been assigned. He's coming out Friday to review the list of items with me in person.
He mentioned that some of the…

We only have the wide short windows up high above the mirrors in both our bathrooms. We did make them both openable though, as I think they were closed on…

Since everyone else is posting some photos... It made me feel guilty, so I took a few just now
Library Room before:
Library Room after (throwing all…

The full size version was still pretty small (at least to me!)

Congrats Forg irrespective of what it is!
That picture was way to tiny for me to tell what that thing is though

We'd moved in a majority of the furniture and everything else a few weeks ago, last Thursday was the final few pieces.
All the boxes were already in the house, so…

Phwoar, record weekend, we're down to 5 boxes of 'misc' items left, and everything else has been put away!
The house is almost (lol) clutter free.
Here's hoping the rain clears up…

B&K: we had our handover like 2.5 months ago! Hard to believe it's been that long. But moving in is great, even if there's boxes…

Another thing I remembered since we're in now...
Many pages ago there was discussion about how bad the default 3 in 1's are for the bathrooms... the suction in our…

Hopefully your handover gets in time for XMAS then!

Glacier: thanks! Did you have to do any work post-handover before you could really move in (like we did 2 months worth!)? Or was Rawson doing everything?
