Have you protected your slab edge with a water barrier? I would be concerned having grass against the slab if it is not protected. Slab moisture can cause lots of expensive problems if left. Hi Shambini, No we haven't. Can you please provide an example of what you are referring to? And is it requir...

H Goodlife, 1. how long has the Lawn already been siting there? 2. How many inches of fill was placed under the lawn? 3. Is the reason for making it lower to satisfy the termite barrier or the weep hole drainage issue. Personally I wouldn't have soil right up against the house like that. My first p...

Leave it. The ground will settle by an easy 2 inches over a couple of years. Has anyone else experienced how far the ground settles? The termite inspector has noted in his annual reports that we have to lower the ground level or install a mowing strip next to the house. Waiting 2 years is ignoring ...

I don't think its worth trying to pull up the turf.. there's only around $500 worth in the backyard. Doing by hand would be a huge job and it might not even survive... if I hire a turf cutter I'm guessing it will almost cost as much as buying new turf. I just want a clean canvas to start again.

Hi Everyone, Long story short - when we turfed our backyard we stuffed up and made the soil level too high (noob mistake). The top of our grass is approx. the height of the bottom of the weep holes in the brickwork. We realised this a few months after laying the turf when we had our annual termite i...

I heard from a friend $350k.. good news for those that bought earlier.

Gday, My wife and I have paid the initial deposit in 5B, we are yet tp choose a builder but are closing in on a few. Any nasties we should look out for? also is 18k for site costs the going rate?? Cheers in advance Che Our site costs were approx. 20k... I think that is about the going rate. Try to ...

out of curiousity.. anyone know much the latest blocks are going for? 450m2?

Our land purchasing experience was great... first go see Jeff in person and show that you are serious. Then put your name down for pre release registration and try to reserve a lot before it goes on sale to the general public. In saying that, I have heard that the next release of land isn't for a fe...

GoodLife, where are you up to We've done all our selections and our plans were approved by council. Right now we're just waiting on Roselea to come back with the finalised contract (with the added selections from our colour appointment). Then we will finalise everything with the bank... then it wil...

Is the owner of lot 3108 here? If so PM me (your neighbour) :)

thanks for the reply I will talk to my builder about this.

Hi All, Is there anything I need to tell my builder if I plan on wall mounting a tv? Eg wood blocking for mounting? Cables terminating in wallspace etc? I'm not sure if anything specific is required above the norm. Thanks.

Congrats GoodLife! That's exciting news!!! I loved colour selection. I just hope it all comes together when it is finished. Hopefully Council will be uber quick for you. On another note, how do you all feel about the Badgery's Creek announcement? I don't mind the airport announcment. It should brin...

We had our colour appointment today... very happy with the results. It was much easier than we thought it would be. Should be out of council within the next few weeks so getting excited now.

Ned410 welcome, I think we met you at our block last Friday. Yes we are the lucky recipients of the 4 truck loads of soil dumped! Seething would be a good word! Luckily wonderful Jeff has located the owners and should be fixed up ASAP! Jeff is a god sent! I think your directly across the road from ...

Got our 1st council rates bill today... the joy of owning land. Our land is undervalued on the bill too.. $280k vs $314k that we paid?

Security is really lacking at the moment. The small trees are constantly being up-rooted. I saw the portaloo almost tipped over today. Worrying since our block is right up the end of Binyang. I've also seen people set off the iDetect sensor and the alarm go off but no body ever came to investigate.

Yes we saw the fence up today on our future neighbours lot! The builder is InOne Homes. I think they are also building the house next to said lot as well. I'm praying it wont be a double storey home that will block out our sun as it is on our northern boundary.
