Hey FF... do you get a choice of grout colours/profiles with tiles? You sure do. the guys and gals at National tiles will look after all that....only thing you'll need to specify with SS later on is the tiling GAP.....for us, the rectified porcelain tiles we should specify 1.5mm gap. Apologies if t...

That is great Inglewood and Claire... I cant wait to join you... Most of the issues on the PCI were incidental and we now have a handover date of 4th April!!! How exciting... Have updated the blog if anyone wants to see the pics!! Congratulations!! We had handover 14th March :D and then took the we...

PCI day today, excited much! Good luck, take your time going through everything because of the "grain" on the laminex, we almost missed some scratches :shock: Enjoy and take pictures!

Up that way dale, you need to also ask about the building envelope on many blocks up that way. Some blocks have a specific area that you can build within on that block so you cannot always put the house where you want it on the block. Also,ask about any overlays. We looked at a great block in heales...

We have keys! Handover is done and dusted! So excited! Can't believe that we are the ones finally saying we've had handover! Wahoo!!!! Congratulations! ::cheerleader:: ::cheerleader:: ::party:: ::party:: ::cheerleader:: ::cheerleader::

Cheers Back Pocket... you're 2 cents worth is incredibly valuable advice indeed! Obviously drawers could go under the sink but they could go everywhere else. Our entire kitchen is going to be drawers apart from the corner which will remain a cupboard but have swing out shelves. We hope to have hand...

Hey inglewood, did PCI happen yesterday? I have been thinking of you and hoping it all went well!

Just coming in to wish all the PCIs good luck for this week - I think that is you Inglewood!! Not sure about the window situation but hopefully a prompt response / resolution is forthcoming.. Just a question for those who are probably finished already - MummaDJ perhaps - Did anyone have a July 13 c...

Jackula - also hope you get a good outcome - did you have it in writing? or was it a verbal thing? Verbal. Fact - PD don't put load balancing information on their electrical contract. So if it did end up in court, it would just be one person's word against another. Fact - since we're only at frame ...

we are very very very close - cant wait... Love your flooring Claire, looks like it is coming together for you now. So jealous you managed to get inside. Ajd, I felt like "OMG what else can go wrong" ::: when I read your post. Fingers crossed that is the last drama you have. You must be g...

Did anyone have their curtains and blinds measured by a third party before handover? We're thinking of having the curtain measurements done during one of the inspections. Also did anyone manage to get heating points into the downstairs ensuite and laundry (to dry clothes in winter)? We have our con...

Hey ajd, sorry to hear it has been postponed. Looks like our painters were there today so some movement at least. Just waiting to hear if we have the wrong toilets. Cant get into check but the boxes in the rubbish are wrong. Hopefully this does not hold us up, we got onto our SS straight away. Just...

Thanks for the advice , BP , will try my BC :D BTW, are you also on sterling facade? full front render?? We are building the Hoffman39. We wanted the Brooklyn but PD wo...

Wow amazing progress since I last caught up with your build. Love the bulkhead too, we have it in the current house, really makes an impressive entrance.
