Your house looks amazing, congratulations. We built with Weeks 14 years ago, a very similar style to yours. It took 15 months! Your side retaining walls look great, can I ask what the cost was and who you used? (We are also in Gawler area). We used level earthworx. Lol.. don’t ask

10 september 2018 Handover day! The house is looking sensational. Still a bunch of things that need fixing, but we are finally in. I really don’t know why cleaners come through and ‘clean’ before handover. All they did was spread the dirt around... we have spent the last 6 hours mopping and wiping ...

16 August 2018 Fireplace tiling has begun for our heat n glo mezzo 1600. Jetmaster fireplaces are doing the supply and install. Tiles are ‘dimensions black oxide’ from beaumont tiles. They have a nice shimmer through them when they catch the light! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180816/efe30215...
I’m liking that! Looks fantastic Yeh thanks! Should have some more photos soon!

You built on a slope, so whether you retain or do a split level, you will be forking out some extra cash. You can’t make the slope disappear, so you have to deal with it one way or another which = $$$

Looks stunning! Great choice in tiles [emoji4] Thanks! Yeh, they look more pink in the photos compared to what they actually are. We have gone for a square finish to the ceilings in all the wet areas too, so no cornices at all in there! Looks pretty magic with the 10 foot ceilings.

Besides the obvious bits wich you've mentioned, are you happy with it overall? It's a fairly decent sized house. I'm nervous about building a small one let alone this big? Do you get a chance to check in on the area as well? I find I keep popping out to our yet to be settled block to see what the n...
Yes and no. My huge issue has just been the real lack of proactivity from nearly every part of the company. The only pa...
