It absolutely will be built. The only question is when . These governmental funding squabbles and delays are so frustrating :evil: I don't think it's going to happen for at least 2-3 years yet :roll: Wish I had a petition card, I'd sign that in a heartbeat. Might have to go down to Danielle Green's ...

The Australia Post guidelines state "which is to be located at the junction of the footpath and the driveway, within easy reach for delivery by the postal delivery officer"... which sounds like your options are either side of the driveway! That's exactly right. I think definitely put it t...

Same. We wanted to hide our water meter. Works a treat. Show us a drawing or pic dollar :)

Oh I see :th: I don't know then! :(

Congratulations on your house, I hope one day we build a house as amazing as yours!! :) Thanks! I need to post some more p...

But if the retaining wall is on the boundary doesn't that mean you won't have to retain and therefore you'll be saving heaps of money because they have done it for you??

Looks fantastic! Pot drawer envy x2 :D I wish I had that many! ... you used to choose the style of your kitchen...You get certain features with each style, sort of like a package deal. Can't you choose your style of kitchen anymore?????? ::surprise:: How does it work now? Twiggy will know I guess, h...

The only minimum rule we employed when looking at floor plans was that minor bedrooms had to be at least 3m x 3m , and the master bedroom space had to be at least 4m x 4m . In my humble opinion, minor bedrooms that are smaller than 3x3 are just a bit too squishy. I don't know if that helps... but th...

Looking amazing :: Particularly love your kitchen. Can't believe how gross under the bath is?! Makes me think... Ours is probably the same- ew :(

One other thing to keep in mind is that a lot of those volume builder 3/4 bedroom homes have options lists/booklets that have ideas for expanding the space of the home in certain areas. I know with our builder, their was a book about an inch thick with all the variations they would allow you to choo...

Depends where you're located? Even though they are similar in price I suppose you save on delivery if you went through a supplier nearby. A place near us that has great turf is http://www.greenacreslawn.com.au/aboutus in Kinglake West. I think it's important to support the businesses in your local a...

Thanks everyone for your suggestion. kek, those nandinas are very pretty. But I must say, the 'little john' azalea which Felistopher is more my type. I love that its quite subtle but still has that nice red foliage. Do you know how high they would grow? Thanks. Good question... :th: :th: Not sure! ...

If they are down the hill from you, then is their patio area cut into the slope? Is there a retaining wall? If there is, they should have agi at the base of their wall to stop this problem. If they don't have a retaining wall (as you don't need one if the excavation cut is far enough away from the d...

... we're often really impressed. I think this is mainly because we're from the UK though, and it was a major event if we found a slow worm! :) ::smile:: ::smile:: Well aren't you just cute as a button?!!!! I love that you love possums and all the crazy/creepy crawly things people from other countr...

This is a touchy area, as there are lots of legal issues involved. I think it best I send you through a reply via PM :wink:

They're an excellent mum and daughter plant :lol: They have them at Diamond Valley Garden Centre. The lady we had create a landscape plan for us works there, and she recommended them for both mine and my mum's garden! It's brought us closer :P

What a cool looking facade! I noticed on the Henley website the other day (friends of ours are building now and I was playing that pathetic game of 'if I had their block/budget I would build....' :lol: ) and I noticed there are so many new facades and most of them I thought were gorgeous. Wish they ...

You're right, that pic wasn't very good. I found some more when I googled the proper name- 'little john' azalea. If you prefer foliage to flowers (I do too :) ) it's perfect as it rarely blooms. http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af280/felicitycw/_5littlejohn.jpg http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums...

We have red flax grass at the front of our place (see thread). It only grows about 60cm. It sounds like it might be a bit strappy looking for what you want though... We also have black renegade cordylines on the side of the driveway. A lot of cordylines grow quite big and can pretty quickly make you...
