Hi GillyM,
That's great news!
The contractors that did our piers also did the slab, and I presume they don't get paid by M until the slab is finished. Hopefully this…

Hi R2D2,
1. We asked about heated towel rails at our appointment, but they didn't offer them - but from memory they could put in wiring for them (otherwise use the…

Good news our bricks have started. Ooh we love them.
Hi Pikey,
the bricks look amazing! Great choice

Hi Rapta,
our pre-construction sucked! It was 7 months or so. I'm pleased to say progress (so far) is much better in construction. Best of luck making it to that…

Hi kphamsyd,
we didn't do bifolds, but moved the horizontal / narrow window in the family room which was at no cost, so I don't imagine replacing a sliding door with…

Hi Pikey,
with work and the shorter days, we've been struggling to visit the site much before dark, but will hopefully have a chance to snap some shots over the weekend.…

Hi Ren1979 and Pikey,

Hi sengu,
I've sent you a private message re the countback.

I'm still in…

Hi Pikey,
you weren't joking about the invoice - it arrived within 20 minutes of my post! That level of enthusiasm from M would have been nice during pre-construction when we…

Hi everyone - and congratulations GillyM on the block scrape! Hopefully the progress continues.
We had all the slab prep work done over the weekend with the slab poured yesterday.…

Out 20 day countdown has started.
Not quite as exciting as a slab but hopefully not long until I can post about that.
Hi Ren1979, we had our block scraped…

Congratulations red brick - that is a pretty big milestone!
Work on our piering in preparation for the slab started this morning - I am so impressed with the progress now…

Congratulations Pikey!
I've just checked out your pics - it looks great.
Despite only validating the contract last week, we've had our block scraped, all weather driveway material put in place…

Hi allyman and fingalbrad,
take heart - we are doing a Symphony MBTF as well, paid deposit 2 June and only signed final contract validation yesterday - so we are miles…

I'll have to learn how to do the photo thing. Looking at your demo pics, our piece of crap looked…

Hi Pikey, thanks for the welcome. It sounds like you are getting very close too with the block scrape.
It was definitely sad to see the old place go -…

Hi everyone,
My wife and I are doing a knock down re-build in the Sutherland Shire. We have found the Masterton threads extremely valuable for helping make our selections. We are…
