Merbau garage door is your best match for cedar. As for a matching stain inter grain merbau is a near perfect match. We used this to stain our fence.

Rawson soft tacked ours first... But then we had them install the floor for us.

Addy girl - ours are readyflor uniclic hardwood. No compensation was required for any step ups. I think per square meter it was roughly just over $100 from memory. Pretty…

Addy girl- we have timber flooring. We had Rwason do this for us though as the price was the same as the quote I got for after handover. There is…

The normal Rawson skirting is fine with our timber floors but ours are timber, not bamboo or laminate.
As for data points we have them behind all of our TVs…

We have moved in and I'm very happy with our house. We have issues with a few things of course but our SS has been great at organising everything in…

Addygirl - don't let them pressure you into signing at the tender presentation. Take it home, read it over and make sure you're sure you want to proceed and go…

Oops! Sorry Mrs BB! I have OC on the brain hahaha.
I don't believe you need a CC for that stuff but having said that we don't have retaining and…

I think you mean OC Robbie - it's an occupational cert you get once the house is complete (driveway, landscaping, mailbox, washing line etc). The interim one just says that…

Mrs BB - our SS said that Rawson organise the interim OC but then once your have finished your yard and driveway you call them back to inspect and you…

Also new photos on the blog.
Pinny - you can kind of see where the Tiber flooring meets the island bench. I'll get a better photo for you on Friday…

Looking forward to seeing the place once you're settled in . You'll just be winding up as our chaos begins hahaha.
Update: electrical is nearly done.…

Thanks guys!
JTM have you had handover yet???

PCI was done today. Still a few things to go over at handover as our electricity is off and the house wasn't properly cleaned but all in all, just a…

KP-HP - Jen didn't notice anything was wrong with that pier until shed been living in the house 8 months and had an independent inspector through.. That would be why…

Rawson_K - HAHAHA yes I meant HANDOVER not hangover lol. Dammit autocorrect. Lucky you knew what I meant!
at the avenue - We went to plenty of flooring places before our…

Sounds like a good day for hangovers Rawson_K because that's when ours is scheduled for too. All going well with the painting that is.
As for our little water issue…

Thanks Pinny. I have a few photos from today so I'll put them on the blog tomorrow.
Thanks rawson_k. I think our PCI will blow out a few days due…

Your house looks fab Rawson_k! How was PCI?
Our driveway is done and we have a ceiling again! Hooray! Timber flooring goes in tomorrow and carpet on Saturday. Ceiling is…

I agree too B&K.
There was nothing we could do about our major mishap one step from the finish line. Sometimes you deal with idiots and it doesn't matter who…

Yeah my only real beef is with admin period too. To put it to a dollar value - it cost me an extra $9k in rent having my admin period…

My sales rep was great but he doesn't work for the company anymore and he was in the Hunter Valley office. We visited the sales office in Kellyville once…

We'll my admin process took 9 months and as someone who's nearly finished their build I have not had an issue until the air conditioner flooded the ceiling this week…

Shakeandbake - I agree 100% with JTM. I think Rawson have gotten a lot better with the admin process now that they have more CSOs but you'd still need to…

Good work on the driveway! I thought yours would be this week. Ours is early next week so we must be next

JTM I wouldn't pay the bill if I were you, it's the only way we can get them to work faster. If they get paid now they'll slow right down…

Cheeky Rawson tried to Bill me for PCI today... Ummmm no. Not until you fix my ceiling. Rude much?!

Were you the person waiting for SS when all the drama unfolded JTM? Sucks so bad but he's going to try his hardest to help us out. I'll post a…

You should have no problems beating us to handover now JTM. Just got a call from the SS, the moronic AC guy connected our AC wrong and flooded my ceiling…

It's was all go go go at Wonton Manor this week. Painter is finished, electrical done, plumbing done, shower screens and mirrors are in, door and door handles are done,…
