Does anyone know how colour selection works (are you able to (1) choose internal colours, (2) choose colour packs or (3) these are fixed and cannot be changed), and whether…

Hi guys,
I am thinking of purchasing a house & land package with a volume builder. I have seen the relevant development applications lodged and approved with council already.
Just wanted to…

Hi,
I am starting planning for my next build and am considering a duplex as an option. I'm still in early stages but had some questions that I was hoping I…

Hi,
I just need a few lengths of 12mm x 6m deformed bars for a small retaining wall project. I've taken a quick look online and a lot of steel places…

Hi h1,
I am looking to have a small block wall installed at the boundary. The height of the wall will be between 600mm to 800mm and about 15m in length.…

Hi h1,
Just turning to the collective experience of all DIY (and experienced!) landscapers on here.
I have tried Google but there is quite a variety of methods and some are not…

Hi h1,
This is probably a basic question but I just want to make sure I am doing it right.
I am planning to plant a few small plants next to…

Thanks building- expert. Unfortunately the slab isn't all straight lines.. there are done concrete bulges and also what looks to be excess brick mortar. I suspect the concrete bulges will…

Hi Homeone,
I am thinking of paving around my house (using 400x400 pavers). The house is newly built and there is currently just dirt around the house. In some sections, I…

I recall (from a few months ago) someone building with Metricon had transparent glass on their front door and applied a translucent/frosting film. Would anyone recall which thread that was…

Any updates Huhness?
Hopefully settlement hasn't been delayed!

Looking good KD!
It's progressing quite quickly for you which is good to see.
Any chance you could share your plans - very interested in how you've positioned everything with the…

Looking good K&D!
Your selections all come together quite well and complement the façade!
Keep up the progress pics! Following very closely

My contract says 2mm in the closest suburb, but only up until lockup. I recall that they can also claim "recovery days" if the rainfall is substantial but I…

Do you mind if I ask what your grout issue was? I just want to check that I don't have the same issue when the time comes around. PM me…

Hi Homeone,
I am getting closer and closer to the end of my build but am still stumped when it comes to landscaping ideas.
I have seen some very well thought out…

Your blog was a great read, Huhness!
It sounds like you really know what you're looking for well before your appointments! It's translated well with your façade, layout and colours coming…

Great to see so much progress with all the builds and town centre!

If it's in your tender, I would suggest that you ask Rawson to update your plans to reflect your tender. You will be given more plans at later stages of…

Thanks for the pics!
They both look quite neat! And very practical also - allowing you to walk all around the house easily.
Concrete doesn't seem like too bad of an option..…

Those colours really work well together - both the façade and the kitchen!
What's the wall paint colour you used? It looks quite nice with the LEDs.
And what…

Looking good! The timber battens look quite nice!
Has your SS given you a rough date for handover? I'm a little behind you but hoping for a pre-xmas handover too

Thanks - I will keep an eye out in lighting stores and display homes next time I visit them to see if I can draw any conclusions!

Hi,
I am still early in the construction phase, but am starting to do research for anything I have to do post-handover. I've started thinking about my LED downlights, and am…

Fingers crossed it isn't a mould issue! I've also had my frames exposed to the recent rain, however haven't seen anything like mould on mine.

Hi H1,
My build is currently progressing with plumbing having just completed in the last week. I've noticed that the baths and vanities upstairs don't seem to have their own dedicated…

Hi H1,
Hoping to get some inspiration from those who are building or have finished building.
I am only just starting my build now, but have started to think about ideas for…

Your driveway and pathway look completely different compared to before it was applied. Who did you ask to do the epoxy/concrete sealing, if you don't mind me asking?
