Our property hasn't increased in value, but would they do a new valuation of the home too, possibly based on how much it would be worth with a pool? I…

Hi! It's been a long time since I've been in here, but now we are throwing around ideas to put in a pool.
My question is, if you decide to put…

Can I ask how much you paid for your Narellan, keza?

Thanks, robbie! I will look into wall mates, that's probably our best solution.

Does anyone have the problem that when using 3M hooks, whatever you've hung eventually falls down tearing off big flakes of paint with it? I'm at a loss because I…

I don't think $500 is much to pay for the upgrade, so I would personally go for it.

No worries! I hope you end up going with the Maya. It's an amazing house! We've had so many compliments on our home!

We built the Maya 4! Have a look at my thread to see how it turned out. We had a great experience with Plantat!on.

Thank you so much, turtleschell! The headboard I actually bought second hand off Ebay a few years ago. I love bargain hunting!

Thanks for all your advise!
The problem isn't so much the cold, it's the opposite; we've have temps in the high 20s ever since we laid the grass and NO…

Our grass is still brown. It's only getting worse. We talked to the turf guys and they said to water it every day in the…

Oh, I'm glad it's been useful to you! Best of luck with the settlement; the bank was the most painful part of our…

Haha, no, I actually just bought some cheap frames from the Reject Shop ($3 for the small ones and $6 for the large one) and found the pictures online and…

Thanks, HA! They look better in real life too.

Some wall art (these two walls are opposite each other in a teeny tiny hallway).

Hubby only just noticed the laundry sign today and had a chuckle.
We've done one load with the new washing machine so far (because…

Here are some pics of our humble laundry.

We laid our Empire Zoysia last weekend, and we've been watering it every morning by advise from the turf delivery guys. There has been quite a bit of sun in…

Haha, really?? We love Samsung too, it's the only brand that has always been reliable to us, so we thought it was a safe…

I love owls too, I have to be careful that I don't end up with owls and cats all over the house! *lol*
It's…

Thanks everyone for your compliments! We still love the kitchen so much and we get so many compliments on it! Yes, his and…

Here is our new turf! Almost done, thanks to hubby and a few friends! The fence is also new, was finished mid last…

Yes, they are. And thank you!

You can see some of the curtains in the photos above, gootza; the studio ones are in chocolate and the living room ones are in latte. We have black ones…

I'm sorry for the hiatus, but here are some photos for the pic piggies! Enjoy!

Yeah, they slide up or to the side, but they don't actually come off as far as I know.

Why don't you do a combination of gravel and real turf - just make sure you get a kind that survives in shade (i.e Sir Walter). We are doing this…

No, SR, they are not. There was no need for it seeing as it's not a large house, and we have two sliding doors for exit access as well as…

We've installed Forcefield (Prowler Proof) on all our windows and our two sliding doors, and we've noticed that some of the windows are dirty - not sure if it was…
