Everyone's homes look great!
We are having a frustrating time with our build. Our slab was laid at the end of May and we still don't have a roof. I…

Hi Louiset, yes that us us! How exciting!!! What stage are you at? Is your slab about to be laid? Another chifley!!! Yay!!!!!

I agree capital G. That is why we added in a walk in pantry!
