Hi there sezza,
Been a while for me to come back to this thread but glad to help. Yes, it was totally the wrong tint. the painter and ss…

Somewoman I can definitely see a change of emotions from the previous nervous anticipation to an arms in the air, 'let's just get on with it' + 'whatever' kinda feeling…

Hi Somewoman,
You're right, get them to fix everything before hand over. Hold onto the last dollar that is still yours or they'll never come back from the way things…

Four months down since hand over and we're happily living in our Franklin home. We constantly get comments about our fantastic bamboo flooring and our massive open plan living…

Firstly, sorry to hear about the delays Jessie.
On Brendan's comments...I really liked Dechellis style of houses but ended up with the Franklin for better or for worse.
Actually we built the…

Congrats and well done! Persistence pays off in the end.

Hey that's a good one southies. dimensionally pretty close and performance wise it's better as well.

Hi Somewoman,
What about these guys? http://www.ausmanufacturers.com.au/b-scka/
Check out the B&S 50
The dimensions fall within the cavity you have, you can probably bulk the rest up with stainless…

Hi Somewoman,
Sorry about the news. What model/brand was it? perhaps there's one around in other states? other retailers?
Oops, just saw the link. It's actually a pretty simple…

Hey Tpin70,
No problem. That's what the forum's for right? Oops...I think I mixed up somewoman with Tamdaz...it was Tamdaz that's building the Majestic wasn't it? sorry about…

Thanks Somewoman and Robinred,
Hang in there the both of you. Somewoman, I assure you the wait is worth it. My Dad's house (also the Majestic) is like a…

Finally we've got the flooring in. You can see the carpet is yet to be finished off, this will be done this week. The house is still in…

Wow! Congratulations on the baby!! I know I'm a whole week late on catching up with your thread but been pretty busy sorting out the house since hand…

Congrats Tpin70! Soon, very soon. That's one good thing about Rossdale, they tend to pull in the build at the very last…

Sorry to hear about your delays somewoman.
However, if it's anything like my build, once kitchen cabinetry's up you should have the house within 3…

Here's a couple of blurry shots taken from my mobile. I love my bamboo floor! matches the doors really well and I really love the natural bamboo knots…

Flooring guy started yesterday. We should see some bamboos on the floor by the end of today. He tells me should be finished by Tuesday and then we…

Tpin70, I'm using all the offcuts from the carpets to line as much of the walk ways as I can. Congrats on the paint! yep won't be long…

Somewoman, it's almost like our partners are exactly the same! I can't understand why you wouldn't move in because all the bedrooms are already carpeted, we have a queen…

Thanks Woodvillesouth,
Nice to see you coming back now and again to check on others. Yes, the flooring goes in next week. We're going with the carbonised horizontal…

Thanks Niki, Bricks - PGH Bluestone with Brighton lite mortar

Thanks Everybody!! Yes we got the keys! Spent 3 hours cleaning. Not sure if the goodies are really worth mentioning. A really nice large picnic pack…

Most likely cleaning, vacuuming! Lots to do over the weekend. No time to celebrate, but I'm sure we will be more than happy to clean our own house…

I have to say the most unpleasant part of the whole thing with Rossdale was during the entire time the sales guy was dealing with us. After the sales…

Yep, I suspect your friend didn't have a bank cheque in hand.

handover is at the property ofcourse. have the bankcheque in hand otherwise you'll have to wait until the payment is cleared if you pay it any other way. …

Ok, in anticipation to my handover tonight I've taken a photo of the repainted render to the front in the correct Kanga. First photo shows the previous wrong kanga…

Handover tomorrow!!! Drove by this morning and the stuff up of the render was being painted and the colour was a much closer match…

Okay, walk through went well. A few more things that were minor needed fixing. Best news is that Solver Paint agreed that the paint colour was not Kanga…

Hi Tamdaz,
Walkthrough's not until this afternoon. I did rock up last night and early this morning though. Last night the installer had put in the cooker and was installing…
