Hey Fademan, your house is looking great. We had handover on 2 November. Since taking possession of the house we have had a number of issues including an…

Looking great fademan, we've had a pretty good run too. Our issues have been with the outside and the hebel installers just being…

The timber strips are mostly decorative, to hide the cut edges. They may also help stop some warping, but the weight of the fridge will fix that. Our rental place has the skirting boards removed from the previous tenant so that they could get their fridge in. Causes no issue, just looks a bit ugly.

A good win, but you have to be kidding about the meter being run over. When we bought our block of land, our meter had been run over and…

That is horrifying. Our experience has been nothing like that, we have generally had a pretty good run so far and we are about 170 days into the job.…

Wow fademan, that is incredibly quick. You can see our timeline on my blog. Great to see you are making quick progress.

I guess it all depends on the Site Supervisor, we haven't had too many of those kinds of issues (thankfully). We only live just over 1km from our build…

Hi there, the boutique stacker lock is keyed on the outside but not on the inside, it is a knob that you turn to lock/unlock

After having a grizzle on Friday about the delays, I went to site this afternoon to find that a guy had been there and rendered the outside of the house…

So, our saga with Hebel continues. On the inside of the house, we are racing along, with the electrical fit off starting today. Pretty happy with that for…

It appears that the call for the invoice is the decision of the Site Supervisor, at least that is how mine has described it to me when I have raised…

Yes, I have to say I am a little concerned about that fact myself, I just wish they would jolly get on with the outside... time will tell.

Yes, your pictures from 19th June look amazing. It is exciting to see how our houses are coming along. It is interesting to see how they are progress…

We are making good progress internally, but have stalled externally with no work taking place for over 5 weeks on the external cladding

Great to see another Madison underway. It’s an awesome house, can’t wait for ours to be finished

We paid for a hard wire doorbell in our electrical at a cost of $259. Couldn’t be bothered messing around afterwards and have disappointing experiences with wireless ones.

So, an interesting development on my build. We are currently up to day 107, and my S/S tells me that we should have completed fixing stage in the next…

We pre-wired for a traditional door bell, haven't bothered with 'smart' technology at this stage. Not sure it is mature enough to invest the amount of money it requires,…

That’s frustrating. When did your build start? We are at brick/Hebert stage too, but we have had a good run to date. Our site scrape was 28 Feb. We are…
