We had a GPS nicked from one of our cars :( They're welcome to any of the plants from our front yard though ;)

In our place it's awesome, really good pressure. The house has a pressure limiting valve on it because the pressure coming from the street is really high. I would assume…

Just heard that one of the people building here killed a brown snake on their block today 2 doors down from our place; so be careful everyone...

Yep be careful with dirt removal, it's one of the items they see as their meal ticket and charge HEAPS for, regardless of what it actually costs.
We were charged a…

Just cement along the side of the garage for now, and a little along the other side up to the gate. The back yard will be paved, we're just waiting…

We're starting to settle in pretty well now, still heaps of stuff everywhere but that's to be expected I guess! Still waiting for the driveway to be done but that…

Ours was about $1900 with no tank, I didn't fancy doing it (even if I hired a Dingo which wouldn't have been cheap on it's own) and I'm sure glad…

Flooring is done, hardwood went down yesterday and the carpet today. Stormwater is going in today and tomorrow, and fences not long after that!
I really should get some current photos…

If there is people who own the block, regardless of weather they have a house on it, I would have expected you could still split the fence costs.
Thanks for the…

Not sure. That may have only been within the first 12 months - we never intended to sell our block so didn't pay any attention to anything like that

They were actually installed too early, and Brett asked the contractors to take them down and off-site while painting was happening - they'll be back this week :)

Yep any day this week :)

Did indeed. A few minor things to touch up and finish off, nothing too unexpected - Only problem was the mirrors weren't installed because of one small mixup with another…

The doors themselves don't need painting, it was the garage that needed the painting :)

Checked with the SS, he's aware of it and said it was all OK, so I guess they were just taken down for painting. Seems like a long way to…

I'm not sure. We're going to contact the SS today and see what's up. We just don't want it to hold up our handover date...
