Will be able to give you my very own Derby review in ..... 6 sleeps
Currently annoyed at carpet layers, started Monday arvo, still not…

Jealous, Jamie88, if you got all that! Definitely signed at the right time!!!

Just been waiting on Defence to approve and organise our move. Can tell you I would have been spitting chips if they said not til after new years!
Confirmed carpet for…

Congralulations Balified!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our tiling is done now, carpeet booked for Monday and we will be moved out of here on the 19th/20th. Then we get to move in on Christmas eve…

In the process of it now, doors are definitely fine, don't know about screeding but I don't *think* it was necessary, I seem to recall something about depending on how…

Yeah we're coastal and while we're about 250m from breaking surf, with the wind we do get a lot of spray and decided to upgrade everything as we plan on…

Jamie88, we went with Urban One as it was exposure grade (don't forget to upgrade to exposure grade mortar and something else, pins??? maybe, they didn't automatically do that at…

Balified, looking awesome!!!
Still waiting for handover. Only got the paperwork we needed from MJH 45 mins AFTER handover was booked for. Hopefully Monday.

That's the pantry. Also the SS fobbed us off to the CLO to rectify this. If it's clear on the plans, don't know why he's done that. I would prefer…

Ours is a WIP and on one side we got the top 3 shelves deleted and put in a bench to replace the second from bottom shelf and kept the…

Handover went generally well. Issue with the fitout of the pantry, it's not what's on the plan. We did make some changes from the original layout but if they couldn't…

We don't have eaves for the garage but do for the rest of the side the garage is on.
We didn't bother as our garage fronts south and the wall is…

Haha, cause we've only had a temp fence at the front and the 3 other sides colourbond we've always been able to sneak in the side

Great that you're nearing the end, Balified! Our SS is calling tomorrow to organise a time for PCI. Hubby was up there on the weekend and appliances are in bar…

I'm in the midst of Ninja Turtle birthday party organising and looking for an apartment in Sydney for the hubby for next year so I'm just sitting back and waiting…

Looking good, Balified. Our painting is finished, render painted now too. Other than that we're at pretty much the same stage. REALLY wanting a handover date now so we can…

Been a long time between posts here!
RE the noggins, we got this done by the carpenter, SS was very helpful in organising. We were actually on holiday down at the…

fliss+renee, gas ducted heating Temps get too low in Canberra for a r/c aircon to be effective.
di+matt, it took sooooo long for our land to…

We're in Jerra and in our current place we have... (wait while I count!) 6 ducts in our 3 bed, 2 living area home for our ducted gas. House heats…

Excellent!!

Sigh of relief about the plumbing here too! Guess I wasn't too worried as we'll be having our old fridge for a good few months once we move in and…

Brentc, we wanted to do the same thing re the noggings and arranged for someone to be there on the day as we're interstate. That person couldn't make it so…

Did anyone get the carpenter to put in noggings for wall mounting TVs, floating shelves etc in the future?
They told us at contract signing that we could just pay cash…

Snap, we're at the same stage again. Will be interesting to see how things compare once we hit lock up. What's your expected finish date atm? I think we're Dec…

Extra powerpoints everywhere!!!
We didn't get much else, a few pendant lights, some downlights in the kitchen/family area and fans to the bedrooms. We checked prices with hubby's cousin who is…

Sounds like fun! Did you get your doors stained? We got the Lin 1 doors to the master and front lounge as they come off the entryway but ours will…

Got to check out our place last week, looking great! Frames all finished and bricks will be arriving on site sometime next week. Only one vacant block left on our…

mandv, we're planning a trip to Hunter Homeworld this weekend to take pics of the furniture/decorating/landscaping we like so we can start to get ideas of what we want to…

Perouse, we also weren't told when we had piering and slab poured. We knew it would be soon as the slab supervisor had given us a call and I'd told…

Even more exciting now, we've been slabbed and frame arrives tomorrow!
