Just thought I would give an update on our place: Well on Friday (2 days ago) we had handover - we are in! ::smile:: I left work early and drove (a little too fast!) to our new home. Our site supervisor met us at the house to run through how everything worked and explained how we organise them to fi...

Hi Katrina, Does that $75k on top include everything needed to move into the house? By that I mean landscaping, driveway, screen doors, flyscreens, letter box, clothesline, TV antenna, etc. If so you did extremely well! I guess we did a few extras alot of people wouldn't need to do, but I would hav...

Hi Deryk, Yes includes most of those except only very basic landscaping as we're still undecided on what we're going to...

Hi Deryck Thanks for the quick reply. Gee some of those answers aren't what I was hoping for. I wasn't aware you would need to allow as much as $100k to fitout the house. To be honest though I also didn't know you didn't get floorings with other companies as well. The lack of getting on site could ...

Forgot to mention, does anyone know what happened to the MJH thread??? Hi Woodduck, I'm trying to find the MJH thread as well and can't seem to find it ::sad:: This is a shame because I enjoyed visiting that thread and seeing how other MJH builds were going. Oh well, maybe I should stop being lazy ...

Hi Ben, We happened to be visiting our house for a meeting with our site supervisor when they were digging your block. You must be pleased that it will all start happening now. We noticed they had smoothed a bit of fill onto our block as well. They seem to have gone past the boundary and pushed the ...

Hi Benny! Wow I can’t believe I’ve just found this thread. My husband and I are also building in Morpeth Manor. I was looking at your plans and then it occurred to me – I think we are going to be next door neighbours! We are building the McDonald Jones house with dark red bricks. I think there is a ...
