Hi again, Now we have our freshly laid turf - when is the best time to roll it? The back wasabout 240m and had a lot of topsoil underneath to level it out, we have found with the watering and the grass finally settling there are a few bumpy bits. Q's: Should we roll & then top with sand or a gar...

Sorry guys have been offline & didn't realise so many people had responded. My neighbour who paid $6 a roll for soft leaf was very envious. One thing about the Matilda is VERY VERY soft underfoot. We have soft leaf in the back due to the husky running a trail - so we wanted sonthing tuff & d...

Thanks Fu Manchu! We laid the Matilda ourselves today & the neighbours are envious! Ye the Matilada is a new species of buffalo that stays green all winter & a very tight root system - oh & don't I know it (it was my job to cut it up to fill in the gaps!) Can highly recommend a turf supp...

Hello All, It's been a while...have done the big move in & had our rear lawn done in the soft leaf buffalo, but we are going to do the front in either...MATILDA or SIR WALTER. OK the guy who did our back yard said he will sell us the Matilda for $5 a roll - prob because we spent $2k on our back ...

Hi Sid, Frameless look great, we didn't have an option unless we wanted to $$$. The only thing we have noticed is the gaps between the glass, I think some water would escape when you are having a shower. Oh & i your shower is big enough, get a door that opens inwards so the water doesn't drip on...

Who has built their house/or is building in The Ponds? Hi ZZZ, How did you go? One of my new neighbours said that people were camping out at the Ponds for the block of land that they wanted. If you know what land direction you want & street type then keep an eye out for someone pitching a tent ...

Hi ESG, No, to the right of the Pantry is the laundry, then on the other side of the door is the fridge. I went to Howards Storage today as I need a good spice rack to hold all my spices, but there was nothing that could sit on the wire shelves...will have to keep searching. Also has anyone seen the...

Hi Southies, We have our prehandover inspection with Howard tomorrow....he has been very accommodating with our last minute time changes due to our SS. So hope all goes well. Pity he charges extra to go down south! I will let you know how the final one goes, but we didn't do the pre plaster one. goo...

Hello again, You may have seen these pictures in the other post (ceasarstone etc) but thought I would update this one, seeing I started it. :lol: To our surprise we were given 2 pantry doors instead of 1 (looks great BUT really you will need to prob always have to open both :P ) but hey, like shoes....

Thanks for the replies - waterhaven that would be fantastic if you could email some pics, it does look good !. Here you go .... finally some decent light as well as some progress in the kitchen.... they put on the pantry doors - we were expecting a single pantry door as that was what was in the dis...

mmmm. I agree, you don't want to detract from the benchtop, and don't want it to look too busy. I saw a kitchen on the weekend at the Ponds in syd with a glass splashback & it looked so clean and sleak I just had to take a photo...check it out. I don't think you would be disappointed with glass....

No photo's yet, sorry the light was REALLY bad - the pictures weren't any good. Hopefully tomorrow or thurs. sorry :cry:

[/quote] I have to say that I am a bit suprised that your kitchen layout does not include a microwave opportunity somewhere, given that almost everyone has one and it is something that is best integrated into a new kitchen at the design stage. Cheers, Earl[/quote] Yes 3 cheers for Clarendon hip hora...

House should be ready at the end of next week ::cheerleader:: ::cheerleader:: ::cheerleader:: ::cheerleader:: Wow - that's great news! Did they only just put the kitchen in? I'm trying to compare our timeframe with yours - the painters just finished on Saturday, but the kitchen was in a couple of w...

Who has built their house/or is building in The Ponds? I wanted to get a general gist of how much site costs/peg - has cost you? Some builders are quoting $15,000 for everything, whilst others are quoting $30,000. So if you have built in the Ponds, can you give me an indication of SITE costs and a ...

Waterhaven, how have you found your tiles? We are also looking at TFO - they are so cheap! Is there a catch? Cheers L H L, Hopefully I will be able to tell you in about 4 weeks. We should get the keys in the next few weeks, so we haven't had the tiles delivered or laid. TFO have been great - they r...

Sorry about the light - we prob won't get pics until Sunday - less tradies around!!! I hope that is ok. :D
