Hey Grant, sorry I missed your post. Yes, been very busy. Had to vacate the rental and can't believe how much stuff we had to move. Seemed like it would…

Thanks all... but I am over moving. Such a big job with 5 adults in the house . Will probably finish on Sunday then comes the task of where…

Hand over done. Finally have access to house. Yay!
Electrician mate was able to install downlights to all carpet areas - carpet goes down tomorrow. He will finish the remaining lights…

OMG Tajana...that is a great TV! Yes, you will be able to stream anything and I think it also makes breakfast Streaming will be…

Hey Tajana, it is great that your estate is a real little community. I hope ours is the same.
We are currently with iinet and have stayed with them. The $300…

Almost PCI was two days ago. Only small things to fix. We are getting the keys this Thursday and doing carpet, shutters and down…

Well, PCI is done and dusted. We engaged a building inspector but thankfully there were only a few minor things. Mainly paint associated which is good.
I was too interested in…

Hi Irish,
Coming along nicely now. Is that a ladder manhole in the garage? I considered one but decided in the end to do it after handover. Are you supplying or…

Here are the prices I have received (all prices include GST):
ORIGIN: $125.50 per 45kg bottle, $40.50 per bottle/annum for rent.
AGASNATIONAL: $135.00 per 45kg bottle, $30.00 per bottle/annum for rent.
SUPAGAS: $108.00…

Hey Tajana,
I am with Alinta Energy with their standard 28% discount on electricity. Supagas is only for gas bottles and they have provided a price well below Origin even with…

I live down the road and Supagas have offered me $108 per bottle and $33 rent for 12 months per bottle. Origin just sound to expensive.

Tajana, the usage is really dependent on how you use gas. As a rough guide a 45kg bottle will last between 40-50 hours of continuous showers. So if only one…

Hi All,
Our construction is near completion and we are now organising utilities. Never had gas before so have started doing the rounds of retailers to find their prices. They give…

Thanks Tajana, will be good for peace of mind. Plus takes the pressure off us to look at things closely.
SupaGas had a special which our neighbours were able to get.…

Hey Tajana,
That is great the inspection went okay. Could I ask who you went with for the inspection and how much they charged? We need to organise someone for 2…

Hi Tajana,
To be honest I haven't found the info about the back yard, only the front - and that is one month from moving in. I can't recall anything about…

Our covenant requires front landscape to be done within 1 month of hand over.
Yeah, we ordered our shutters 5 weeks ago so that they would be ready when…

We receive keys on 1 November and then have planned for the downlights, carpet and window shutters to be installed on Friday 2 November. Removal truck is booked for Saturday…

Hey Tajana, that is great. Bet you can't wait. Are you moving in straight away?
Our inspection is 25 October and handover 1 November. The house will be all but finished…

Hey Tajana, have you been given a date for PCI and handover yet? Must be close

Hi Catgee, looks a good plan.
King Taco is on the money about a bigger shower. You could look at just moving the toilet into the place where the shower is…

Hi jeanlaw, to be honest it is hard to tell the difference between 2.55 metres and 2.7 meters unless you are standing in a room that has both heights so…

Hey Grant, lucky catch to grab the 200. We didn't have enough left over for the letterbox so the SS had to order more. To his credit the bricks were…

All going well. Letterbox has been installed a lot earlier than expected.

Looking good Sandracma. Bench tops should be on shortly and then it really starts to come together.
Did you go for the Arto oval vanity basins? I find it interesting that…

Thanks SandraCMA
We were advised today that PCI is scheduled for 25 October and handover will be 2 November if all goes well.
The items still to be done between now and…

Excellent! Always good when the original plan comes together.

Have Ausbuild given you an option to revise your selection? The Austral brick we had originally signed off on had a substantial colour variance between the one in the Ausbuild…

Yep! Sure is. No additional cost but we had to ask for it. Don't know why they don't just offer it during the sales process. Anyway, we asked and they…
