We didn't get the security doors in the end, but we have a four bedroom home with study, it has three sliding doors and a lounge, rumpus and games…

Hi JazzyJess, yes, you're right, like I said, I knew very little, or almost nothing about bricks prior to this. But really pleased with the bricks now, and pretty…

Hi all,
Just an update on my bricks. The bricks (urban one - almond) gradually got worse as the build went on, not only did the 'coating' continue to…

Hi all,
I promised an update when we got in, so we've been in for a little over a month now and are loving it! Have met some of our…

Hey ann81, how did everything go with the site costs?

Hi everyone,
We are in and got many quotes on venetian blinds and roller blinds, and the cheapest quote was with Wynstan Narellan, their service was brilliant as well.
Cheers!

Hi susiebunt,
We build a home and land package with Mirvac, so all the the basix and site costs were included. From my experience, when you visit a builder, such…

Hi Dr Matt,
If you are still in the building stage, then I would DEFINITELY be discussing with your builder. Are you allowed to say who your builder is? …

Hi KiwiJohn,
Austral visited our site supervisor and said our bricks would be 'fixed' before we move in. We aren't in until another month or so, so hopefully it will…

Oh and Jetson, one more thing while I remember, I spoke to the SS about the bricks, and he said all brick companies offer either a 75 year, or lifetime…

Hi there everyone,
Just thought I would post a quick update on our bricks. Just like you Jetson, we had the same issues with the bricks once they were cleaned.…

Hi Ann81,
The build is going great, we should be at lockup before the end of the week. We used to go every few weeks when we had grass too, haha…

Hi Ann81,
Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. We are building at Spring Farm (on Mirvac) side and are really happy with the location. Our roof is going up…

Thanks MagicMuppetMan, we will be doing the installation later and have received some reasonable quotes, we aren't going with the cheapest, but not the dearest either - it was ridiculously…

Thanks Casa2, much appreciated.

Hi Gunny,
We are currently building and bought the house as a complete package. We were very happy with the selections we were given to choose from, the only thing…

Hi Casa2
How do I do that? Will it slow things up much?

We are under construction and had previously decided not to go with ducted air conditioning with our home builder as it seemed too pricey. We recently spoke to our…

Yes, that's so true, when it's yours, you see every minor detail. I look forward to seeing the photos.
Cheers

Thanks Jetson. Which bricks do you have? Do you have any photos of how the bricks look now that you could show me?
Unfortunately, It's too late…

We will be getting our bricks delivered on site any day now and have chosen Austral Urban One in Almond. I have just read a thread on here which has…

Thanks so much everyone, my mind is now made up. I think the dark floor tiles continuing up on to the bath look brilliant!

I was hoping someone could show me some photos where they have done the floor tiles to also cover the bath/lip of the bath?
I think this is what I am…

Thanks for the info waterwheel, I'm pretty sure Modern are in Sydney too.

Down here, I take it that's somewhere in the Shire? Funnily enough, we have just moved out of the Shire. Not that I don't like the Shire, just…

Thanks Southies!
You wouldn't know of anyone who you can recommend?

I am in Camden area, thanks heaps, I'll give him a call.

I was hoping for some advice on competitive Window Furnishing companies in Sydney. We love plantation shutters, but I think they are just way out of our price range, so…

I am after some advice as to roughly how much lap and cap fencing might be per metre, we have a fairly flat block and need to do the boundary…

As you already have chocolate and white, with two (similar) shades of wood, I personally don't think it would be wise to introduce black into the mix.
