Just picking up on this again but I have successfully coaxed NBN to get me underground cabling. I was initially knocked back but I had to convince Telstra/NBN on multiple fronts that going overhead was not going to happen. The cable now runs overhead to the nearest power pole where the coax runs int...

If anyone has any tips on what you can do to harden up your timber floors, it'd be appreciated !

I've just had these installed and they are appallingly soft. They take dents like you would not believe. If you drop a glass or a plate, expect to get a sizable dent in your floors. I'm not sure what the janka rating is on their "french oak" but here's a warning to everyone. DO NOT get the...

My first heavy work on the house.

Hi All, We're coming up to PCI in the next week or two and was wondering if people could pass on their hints and tips in dealing with M? .... and yes, I have an inspector booked !

Hey there, still no progress on the NBN front for me. My KDR is in the Manningham area, and our street is only ready for HFC next month according to the NBN website. My build has finished, and the electrician ran the P20 conduit to the footpath in preparation. Fingers crossed and I'll report back i...

Hi. I am doing a KDR in the Eastern Burbs of Melbourne but not with M. I had exactly the same queries as you a few months ago, as I didn't want overhead lines to my new place and wasn't wanting a copper land line. Unfortunately the NBN website doesn't provide much guidance. From what I understand r...

HI First time builder, currently building a slightly modified Henderson 38 with Metricon. Currently half way through our build and on site manager number 4 - its been tricky trying to get hold of the site managers given turnover, so hoping people here can help answer a couple of questions I have wi...

Is that all they give you? We got a coffee machine the last time we built! I forgot so upload the custommeri handover pic. Lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180503/7f4223f6a95bf21d31d5ae3cc6ad6056.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180503/032390ac03cab9ddcec8854867e0bdc3.jpg

We are starting to think about cabling etc ahead of our electrical appointment... can anyone tell me if we need cabling from street to house for Foxtel? Have heard they are going fully to satellite in the coming 12 months or so. Not knowing much about how this works - does this mean no cabling is r...

Top for all : when doing electrical appt make sure you get two conduits installed from the power pole...... allow for Foxtel , Telstra and Optus .....one is not enough! Do you know when they put the lead in through?

Looks great vu. Congratulations.

I'm not sure if I paid extra or something I didn't need too, but I have Metricon paid for the installation of NBN and that will be in my garage. I'm not sure how it can be installed in an exposed area like that, as the UPS that is involved will have to be weather proofed. Thanks rum_home. The Premi...

HI all, question for you KDR guys. If you have NBN HFC coming off a street pole across the road, is there a way to get that dropped and trenched to your house? I'd prefer not to have an overhead cable connect to my house if possible... And No, I do not have a telco pit on my side of the street. :) A...

Great looking build ! I'm looking at building something similar. Do you have more photos from the side of your house showing the parapet ?

Trying to do some research on Henley build quality for KDR. Is there a general consensus if they're worthwhile building with or will it come down to your luck on who you get working on your build? productrev1ew.com.au has some savage reviews! You still trying to choose a builder SpecialK? Lol. Yep....
