I think we're sticking with "V". Still nutting out details with the plan

Hey camyperth
Yeah, things stalled there for a while. Kinda back on track. I think we've picked a house. You'd have to ask my OH

Excellent tool !! Doesn't cover out to our block though

Hey thirsty
I think we've looked at most of the kit home companies, but nothing really grabs us. Ross Squire I think, had some houses we thought were okay. If you…

We have 5 acres in the lovely Chittering valley.
We've had it for two years now but are confusing ourselves with what we…

Hi v
In the Chittering Springs estate
There are at least two Queenslanders, a two storey one and a Roofline I think

The colorbond cladding is a good idea. My OH would like to build two storey and I said yes, but how would you paint it?…

Hi there
Will watch your thread with interest. We too are building on a slope and keep changing out minds whether to stick with traditional double brick on a slab, or…

I have a Dyson which works for me - but we don't have any carpets in this house either. I have a cat, a Ridgeback and a GSDx who sheds…

Quite partial to some of these myself

We'll be living on site, so I guess I'll have to look at it longingly every day

I'm a ensuite-with-door kinda gal. There are things a lady has to do that I don't believe my husband needs to know about, but I'm a little old fashioned that…

Further to Hels post. Not just in regards to investment, but most land developments (suburban ones anyway) require you to start building within a certain time frame (say 18mths). Vacant…

Hi msbyrne
Guess you've had some success finding a builder?? If do, congrats

Fu, do you know if Ambro works on Meat Ants??? We have couple of "nests" (aka ant metropolis) on our property. I'm not so worried about the one at the…

No worries. I can sympathise. Have had our block for 15 months and we have explored owner building, steel framed kit, transportable, wood frame on stumps and double brick on…

Depends on your definition of dream

Ours is out the back. Although we do have a second paved patio area on the side of the house - but I had that put on for the dogs…

We have laminate floors here. Both my doggies are well toilet trained, but had a couple of accidents when the ridgie was a little puppy (as puppies do) and liquids…

Yep, we bought in one of the first stages so have been here about four years. It's great - good transport links, close to shopping, near Joondalup for work/Lakeside/uni, sea…

Well then, welcome to sunny Somerly
I guess that means we would've parked on your block…
