UNDER EVALUATION ×3

I feel your pain! Our land was valued at the right amount. Our build was valued at the right amount. But together there was a shortfall of $20k. This was…

I think it's standard not to. The place we bought our dishwasher asked if it was a new build and told us we'd need to do it.

We had to drill through the waste pipe connection under the sink. It was easy :)

On a good neighbour fence there are upright palings on both sides of the horizontal beams. One person still gets the posts, but it's not a completely flat fence, so…

I'm on the Gold Coast so probably different. But I got quotes for a 'good neighbour' capped fence (which means nobody gets an ugly side!) for $63-$70/metre. We also need…

Driveway looks great! How wide is it? Ours could only be 4m at the kerb due to Gold Coast council requirements! :(

I'm in qld, they use dowell for windows. Mine were coded:
QS1824X which means sliding 1800 high by 2400 width. Or QA which is for awning windows.
Failing that, just stick your…

For anyone worried about Gemini silver, it isn't purple at all in my home, but we do have a lot of windows so the house is flooded with natural light!…

Congrats Heidi!!
Are you sure yours is Matt? I think our contract said low sheen? Not that I have any idea how to tell the difference between the two!

I think someone told me that if the pallets of bricks get wet they become heavier and don't lay as well?

We have Gemini silver too. In other peoples photos it looked purplish, but in real life it's a lovely grey :)

Random question time...
I've tried to hang a shelf in my daughters room, but the predrilled screw holes don't match up with any studs near where I want to put it.
I've…

We got Belga taupe aswell on the floors with the same white tile on the walls! It's so funny how everyone choses the same colours! Looks good, you must be…

How exciting!! But annoying at the same time! We got given a months notice of our handover date! But this ended up being 6 weeks earlier than our original estimate.…

Yes, it was quick for a 37sq house (even though it didn't feel like it!) Our slab was pored nov 13th, we got handover on feb 27th.
Where are you building?…

I asked about extra noggins for wall mounted TV's and our SS said that we're better hanging on the vertical studs.
Where are you up to with your build now? Didn't…

Surely they won't leave it like that? Maybe they fill in and plaster around the angled bit?! Our
cornices continue around the front of our bulkheads.

We weren't offered info on upgrades either. I'm looking at companies to get window flyscreens installed. Our AC is really powerful, which was perfect when it was hot/humid over the…
