If you go with any glass or a sidelight at your entry, definitely consider either opaque glass or some kind of privacy film. I hate mine because my house is…

It’s not steel frames, it’s floor joists. Most double story homes would have them id imagine. Also have never heard this noise in any display homes - and I’ve probably…

Yep that’s my house. No, noise not rectified. Matter is listed for final hearing at NCAT. their building expert has written a report noting in his opinion, it’s normal noise…

Oh my gosh!!!! I haven’t been on homeone a lot lately and my alerts aren’t coming through. I’ve just caught up on all of the awful drama that you’ve been…

How deep is the block? A 2m fall over a longer distance may not have a significant impact, but there are so many variables, including whether it’s pretty constant over…

Oh I could tell you some stories. Currently in the middle of NCAT proceedings with them. Coming up to three years post handover and there’s still defects they need to…

Is your build via complying development or council approval? Facade colours are included in the documentation provided to council to get your building approval. Perhaps regardless of your willingness to…

holy guacamole! 70 lights?! Your electrical bill must be equivalent to my entire landscaping bill can’t wait to see it!

Ugggg I know the feeling. You think ‘don’t wanna rock the boat too much with them given how much is left to do’. We have a bit of a friendly…

It’s all coming together! Once the foundation work is done it won’t take long. Sorry to hear you’ve had some issues. As long as you’re both on the same page…

Ohhhh come on... I posted when cut outs were cut in travertine I did a heap of posts where I’m sure no one could see any progress. Pooooooost!

Thanks renman! We had all the landscaping connected to Clipsal pixie switches. There’s an app you can download that enables you to switch them all on and off manually, and…

Thanks so much Steve. Always good when the finished result makes you go ‘yeah it was worth it’.

Any updated photos?? Can’t wait to see that water feature powered on!

Looks fantastic! I agree- sometimes you just have to close your eyes and press ‘pay’... the result is fantastic. I’ve found you can sit there agonising over 5 different quotes…

Thanks so much. Feels so good when something goes smoothly. And even better when you’re also happy with the result. Looking forward to getting final defects fixed so we can…

House numbers finally on... signalling the end to our landscaping journey... well.... is it ever really over?! haha

Hahahaha agree! But relative to the whole landscaping project it’s about 1% of the total finished cost. That’s how I’ve justified it to myself anyway !

Thank you
I’m away for work at the moment so will double check when I get home- but from what I remember it is 1200 wide, and rakes up from…

Yep the letters are. The numbers aren’t totally solid I don’t think. He didn’t leave them with me when he came to check placement otherwise I’d check for you.
Each…

Funnily enough I was talking to our electrician about it and he said ‘my Dad runs a laser cutting steel business- we can do the letters and numbers for you!’…

Letterbox numbers and letters have arrived! Can’t wait to see them go up on Tuesday!
Numbers are 250mm high and the letters 80mm. They are 15mm depth and we went…

I think it’s coming up to about 18 months. Coral’s stupid building ‘expert’ from KSpec who has zero product knowledge, told me it’s normal to peel in a wet area.…

Thanks so much SteveMc. We are really happy with it. I love the French pattern travertine. So happy he talked me into it.
Really looking forward to the plants outside…

Hahahahaha no we didn’t. We tried that for the first time in America earlier this year and unfortunately I didn’t think they were worth the mess!

Lit up the firepit for the first time last night!

Thanks so much.
Many were chosen just on what they looked like- and even the landscaper unfortunately doesn’t know the name of some of the succulent varieties.
Here’s the front…

Can’t wait to see this complete. Already looks sensational!

We had the same issue with grout. In the bathrooms we had dark grout and a build up of poster dust couldn’t be removed. We had epoxy colour put over…
