A photo of the flooring as of this morning. I think the progress is coming along well considering it's one guy doing it by himself.

We were pretty relaxed. We actually had moved in within 2 days... or a day and a half even. So since then we've basically been enjoying the house while also…

Hey Archetto,
Our slab went down a day or two before Australia Day so it's taken 11 months from slab down. A longer wait than we had expected but very grateful…

Ben Trager - Secret Harbour - Could it get any worse?

Wow, that's terrible. Thankfully the Mrs didn't get more severely hurt. The fact she needed hospital treatment is a huge scare though.
Sorry for all the mishaps you guys have…

Hi Archetto,
Yesterday was our PCI1. I was at work so hubby went at it on his own. There were no major issues.
A bit of plastering touch-ups to power points.

Looks great. Looking forward to seeing how awesome your backyard looks once it's all finished off. What will you be having around the pool?... paving, decking, aggregate???

Hi future neighbour!
We're building in Equis Lake as well. In the first stage. We managed to get the last block in the first stage as someone's finance fell through.
