Thanks Mrs MP!

Hello again,
I'm yet to sign contract, but am working with Southern Vale Homes and all looking good to go ahead. Yes I do have a thread, here -

Thanks M+J,
That's the advantage with having a partner in this, sometimes they can take the decision for you, and in your case, I agree, he did good!
I'm pretty happy…

I'm still going 'round on this one, mim. I've asked for comparison quotes for separate cooktop/underbench oven, think that'll be the way to go, I like the cleaner lines of…

Hello all,
Sorry I've been absent for a bit, between spring allergies and Term 4 craziness, plus my eldest turned 16 last week, so I'm just keeping upright. One day…

Hi admodra,
Love your style, your home is looking amazing. Loving the floors, the kitchen, the recycled brick, the all-important laundry... all of it! I'm curious, are the laundry cabinets…

Today I drove by the block... and burst out laughing, I hadn't been by there since settlement day when we had a 'wine o'clock' celebration - and the recent rain…

I just met with the tiler on site and went over how the tiles should be laid.
I managed to get a picture of our feature tile which will…

Good idea with the laminate flooring, we have many feet in our place too and the laminate hides the dirt, (really well I've only been mopping twice a week ).
I'm…

Hi Tribe! I've been looking in on your thread for ages, but haven't commented before. Love what you've achieved since handover, getting so much done, with hubbys health and all…

This week I've visited two flooring suppliers, to get a feel for options. As I have a long history of allergies/hayfever, I'm not keen on carpet. I'm considering either ceramic…

Good morning H1 peeps! And hello Tribe7, I've enjoyed reading your thread too - love that front door, and the diy pelmets just to name 2 things.

Thanks mim, yes I've been a bit surprised at how easily I've picked the colours so far... but then second-guessing myself after. Must upload some here...
I was going to…

Oh I am LOVING the shopping selections stuff! Mostly doing it on my own, the kids vary wildly in their enthusiasm! A couple of friends who have volunteered to 'help…

Hi TomCat, thanks for the warm welcome! Yours is one of many build threads I've read/stalked before finally joining...
Oh and my name is from one…

Thanks mim!
I'm quietly excited, have been visiting flooring suppliers and heating/cooling this week. Spring allergies are giving me some grief, looking at house stuff gets me out of my misery…
