Yay congrats Ruby!! Great feeling isn't it? But frustrating at the same time cos you just want to be in there! It will happen fast enough trust me! Best advice I can give you is pack pack pack!!! And write where things are going so people helping you can navigate where things are going! Even if some...

I'm using Michael from AAA inline also... Our fences were supposed to start today but he had to go interstate for a funeral.. So they will start on Tuesday now. We are going to have to pay for our neighbor's share on half of one side as they are not contactable :( It's about $450 but hopefully they ...

Ruby make sure you turn EVERY tap on full pressure! I didn't check our bath and then noticed it only trickles out about a week after moving in. I have back and forth text messages with the SS and still havent heard from the plumber :( plus we have an outside light that was never installed that they ...

Yeah but we won't actually be able to get a bobcat in beside the house once the fences are up so we have to get it done before side fences go up... And by sloping I don't mean the fences won't go in straight, I mean their whole block is higher than ours so rain will naturally run into our soil and i...

AAAANNNNNDDD the costs keep coming!! Took the parents to have a look around the outside of the house today to see what they reckon about landscaping/ground covering ideas and my dad pointed out how high up the back of the backyard is compared to the house, and how it's sloping down towards the house...

Hey pooks - how did the council provide the details? Via email? They have told me 10 WORKING DAYS!! :( I can't wait 10 freaking working days! And how did you organise your bins? Just via phone? We don't have an actual handover date yet but I don't think it will be long as our bank only requires the ...

That's great news pooks! How exciting! So how long after the report comes in does it take for funds to clear and for you to pick up your keys? We have our inspection tomorrow! Can't wait to see the house from the inside all finished and clean!! Any tips pooks on things to look for/check apart from t...

Oh no pooks!! No good! Hopefully the certificate is issued asap and the bank doesn't take to long to get their stuff done! It's so annoying seeing your house sitting there finished and you can't move in yet! My friend is building with another builder in Ambrosia and their house was finished weeks ag...

Yeah pooks you can do that! In fact, we were only allowed to do interest only payments due to it being a construction loan! We are with commonwealth bank though, not resolve, so maybe that makes a difference... We won't be paying interest only forever of course, but depending on whether we turn this...

So our driveway got delayed because of the weather but it's still booked in for this week which is good! Final clean (house and site) is also booked for this week so that's good news!!
