Hey Sam,
Sorry about the dramas so close to handover. We had to do additional retaining walls after handover as well. My understanding is that the builder only does…

Brag away you deserve it! Congrats Sam

Oh thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten to follow that up.
So I just contacted the Hume council who told me "it is the developers that were responsible…

Congrats Hsv, not long now!
AB you are not wrong with the deliveries getting lost! I actually had a go at updating Google Maps lol. It allows you to add…

Good thinking Hsv, we did the same with Domayne. In fact they had it in storage for almost a year! They just wanted 4 weeks notice of when…

Hi All, happy new year to everyone! Here's hoping it's a good one in our new homes
Isn't it funny how the…

Hi Courtney, welcome to the neighbourhood! I've been in my house for about a month now (stage 7) and are loving it. It's a bit weird though as…

Hey Sam, I'm sure what you have chosen will be great. I had my moments of self doubt along the way but it all turned out good in the…

Hey Sam, I heard my hubby dropped in to say hi.. you must have thought who is this? Although he hasn't been on the forum he still reads it all.…

Hey Sam, mine is on the same side of the road as AB but the other end, towards your place. 3 more sleeps til we move in - feels…

Exactly AB! And so I can stop destroying my shoes with all the mud

Hi All, lots happening on here. Sam I hope you are bringing the sunshine back with you, we sure could use it …

Hey Hsv2kp your colours look great, the floorboards are stunning. I love waterfall benches and insisted it was a "must have" .. however we changed our mind basically as…

Congrats ES! Yay another set of hands to help me and AB with moving day on friday
You seem to have caught up…

Hey D4mmo, we did have issues but it didn't take 4 weeks each time. I would push them on that. What have they rejected? For us the…

Thanks guys, the colours aren't completely done yet, still some staining to be done and the render to be completed but so far so good, we are happy with it.
We…

I haven't put an updated pic for a while so here it is - 2 weeks to go, let the countdown begin! Also proof that we do have…

Geez D4mmo that's shocking, how do they forget to get approval? Sorry to hear you are having such problems.
Verdro? Does that mean that we won't receive any bills…

Hey ES, we weren't far behind AB, probably about 10 days from memory. We have the same SS who is going on holidays soon so I think he wants…

Hey Sam, that's exciting about the shopping centre. What shop is yours? It is going to be so handy to have it so close. Our SS has…

Yeah I'm not too concerned, better to find it now before they paint or tile. It's coming from the roof with a pool of water on the cabinetry underneath.…

Wow AB 25th of Oct! That is amazing, congrats. Not far away at all. Based on our history of following you along I would expect we would…

Welcome D4mmo!
Friends of mine built in Mernda and when they signed on the dotted line they were in a fire prone area. Part way through the build they found…

A tip to my fellow neighbours.. when one is so keen to see their house progress that they check it out after dark with torches be careful where you…

haha was quite funny.. we had just finished looking at our place and were walking down to see your house AB and I heard a car pull up behind us..…

Oh Sam you are a brave girl planning a wedding and building a house interstate at the same time! I got married last year so I know that that…

Sam you won't believe how quick it goes once they get going. Our slab was poured Aug 13 and now it looks like this pic just 2 weeks later!…

Hey ES I believe this is your slab... Went past today and snapped a pic for you. It's looking good.
Our roof…

We haven't decided yet either.. if we do it will be at completion, not before. Maybe we can all get a group discount?!

Are you serious?? That's a bit odd. Although it probably happens all the time especially when its the same builder (and probably the same framer). He probably…
