We've been researching all our options with air con, pricing, units etc. We just got one split system installed last week, we put it in the open plan area. That back of the house gets so damn hot, you can feel the heat coming off the windows. Haven't even had a chance to test it out as it's been pre...

Gaviscon - Our only electrical issues have been both toilets. The lights flicker, sometimes contanstly and others days not at all. We had our SS come through the other week, of course it doesn't do it when he is here! However he has organised a sparky to come out and have a look. Hopefully yours isn...

Has anyone gone beyond 16 weeks (for single storey)? I hope we won't be the first :( Based on your blogs, it looks like we are behind Yes. We were 19/20 weeks.

Congrats on your final inspection Gaviscon :D In regards to antennas, we just called a place and had a bloke come out and install it. $240 and it was quick and easy. That sounds a bit better - did you supply the antenna or did he? Clearly I have no clue. They supplied the antenna. We researched pri...

No worries Gaviscon! Glad you've got the correct info :) Okay! So we've moved in and unpacked. Everything with the appliances went smoothly. Both days at the house at 7.30 but the tradies came early. We are very happy with the house so far. Even my dad who is very particular is fairly happy too. Fou...

Gaviscon our neighbours contacted us. Signed off on a quote and our fencing guy sent us our half of the cost via an invoice. It was all really easy. But we know our neighbours so it probably made our lives easier. Our bank has done their walkthrough with the valuer. They are ready to pay. Just need ...

Bkoolrocks yay! How exciting :D You will need to give yourself a couple of weeks. We had our final inspection on the 4th. Currently juggling everything. Our broker said we will have no problems moving in last weekend of this month. Which makes it 3 weeks all up.

Bkoolrocks that's exciting to hear! You are getting so close to the end :) We received both final invoice and certificate of occupancy this arvo. Spoke to broker and he will send those asap off to the bank. My dad wants us to hold off until they've fixed the issues. But we are handing a cheque over ...

I can already feel my head melting into goo with trying to juggle everything. We thought we might have keys next week, but my dad is saying two weeks from today. So we might move in without hot water etc. No family near by, freezing showers here I come! ::: Just waiting on final invoice and cert of ...
