Omg that looks amazing! What a fantastic job.

Could you add another gate next to the current double gate?

Don't worry about the furniture. It'll still be there when you move in. [WHITE SMILING FACE]

Yay sounds like a very fruitful trip to spotlight!

Our neighbours had brickies on site this morning. I only saw two... No idea who they look like! But I waved to them as the guys who were there before doing bricks knew us (or at least our house!) I wonder if they are just trying to get to many sites rather than having a large team per site (to reduc...

That's terrible that the carpenters haven't been paid. Their contract manager would still be head office...

Great progress (don't want to jinx you though!) Bricks are looking fabulous. Can I ask how much extra the brick infills cost above the garage? (Yeah I'm jealous [WINKING FACE])

Looking great and sounds like a good schedule. I like your floor choice too. My pick of the 3 in your pic. With curtains will depend on the look you are after and where they are going. Assume bedrooms? Will you do pelmets? I really want the hidden track but didn't think about it to it was too late. ...

Which floor board is what?

Great that things are getting moving now.

Mortar does become whiter... Looks great so far! I found our brickies fantastic and it sounds like yours are really looking after your home.

I found your landscaping thread shazaw, 'watching' it now. Very nice ideas. I saw that you had bromeliads, I have just 1, it hasn't had any pups yet and it burnt during the hot spell in Jan I have some of shazaw's bromeliads... And don't know what to do with them (ie where type put them). So if you...

The teapot looks great! Can't wait to see it finished! The classes sounds like a great idea for stress relief. Although i would think it's even more stressful if I accidentally stuffed something up.

Hey joneses, yeah I've heard that and saw trimum had an internal inspection done. But nothing for mine so far, we're practically st same stage. So did you get a copy of yours? And did it match your independent inspectors findings? I think i will call my inspector on Monday and just let him decide w...

Window furnishing is always so expensive! A back up plan - Ready made is a lot cheaper if you can find one you like... Or do the rooms that are less critical.

Yay to the correct bricks!

my hubby reminded me about the time we had the wrong kitchen sink installed... with the wrong ceasarstone... and Sekisui having to replace it and the caesarstone as the 'refund' we would get wasn't enough justification... so it was very expensive for Sekisui to replace. Just in case it gives you som...

blessed to have met a couple of the lovely homeone forum members today at a party to celebrate the deck being installed! ehhc and shazaw -- great to meet you and your partners today. The deck has come up a treat. And entertaining is a breeze with a group of helpful people and a large house with indo...

I say "Go for it." A cordless circular saw would be perfect! I remember when we asked to move our manhole (originally from the garage to the WIR) when we were doing one of our official check ins with the SS, and he just said 'sure' and then went out to the pile, found a random piece of tim...
