Hi All, Would love some advice / recommendations from you Our home is 3 years young. We have a colorbond roof but we have absolutely no sarking or anticon under our roof, (who knew this wasn’t a standard thing?) Not only is it loud when it rains but we’re starting to experience mould under our alfre...

So I’ve only just realised that I never posted a pic of our backyard which I had promised to do back in MAY!! So here is a pic, I’ve also attached a close up of our grass. For those of you wanting to know it’s Sapphire Buffalo. It’s hardy like buffalo grass but so much softer underfoot. https://uplo...

Hey everyone, im not building in Greenvale central but I pass it everyday and just wanted to report that yesterday there were 5 ppl in high-vis on site and they’ve also delivered a couple of portables which I’m assuming will be acting as the site office. Hopefully this means that things will finally...

Thanks. Is your garage door Surfmist? Yes it is. I was a little anxious about choosing surfmist (white wasn’t an option with our builder), as surfmist isn’t a white white, but you can hardly notice.

Argh!! Plants!! Why is it so hard to decide?? So we are FINALLY doing our front landscaping. (We actually don’t have that much to do but this whole plant decision is killing me). I’ll be honest, I’m not a garden or plant person at all. So for someone who doesn’t like plants trying to find the prett...

Hi Hanu, We bought our land in April 2014, we were told it would title in Oct 2014. It did not title until late Dec 2015. We bought quite late in the estate so we weren’t anywhere near our sunset clause (I think it was 3 years?) being up. However I’m sure there were people who came close to it. Ther...

Hi all, for what it’s worth, I saw a excavator being dropped off where the house they need to knock down is.... hopefully this means progress for you all. Believe me when I say, I know how you all feel. We built in Greenvale Orchards and Our land titles were delayed 18mths from when they said they w...

Looks good in summer - But what is this https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/73203_1514453317.jpeg Ok, so I had to go outside today and check that out, as you can probably see I don’t venture out there very often. It’s a drain. I have no idea what or why it’s doing there.

Hey Ezza78, so sorry for the late response. Our concrete is going to be sealed in the new year. My dad (an ex-concretor) did it all for us and he just hasn’t gotten around to sealing it yet.

PEast - No, we’ve just got charcoal concrete which needs to be sealed. That will do for now, as we have to start putting our money into the front landscaping. Ezza98 - couch is AMAZING!! Definitely go for that if you can. The only downfall is it can spread into areas you don’t want it to go. I will ...

We’ve been in the house now for 3 months, it’s just gone so quick!! Happy to report we don’t have much at all on our 3 month maintenance list. We have one tile that sounds like it moves when we step on it, but there is no cracked grout or anything. And just a couple of other issues, like I don’t thi...

Hi pEast, so sorry for the VERY delayed response. And thank you!! We are pretty happy with our house and after all the stress it’s come together nicely. Our builder charged us $415 to have our floor tiles laid brick bond.

Hey Noni, glad to hear that your house is almost there. Yes I must say that, now that all the stress is over, Ashford going under was a blessing in disguise. Dean homes have been amazing! They've been so accommodating and have let us install both the carpet and curtains before handover even though w...
