Not sure about my slab, but we are up on the high side/'heritage precinct'... certainly don't remember anything out of the ordinary about it... Meanwhile we got the date for our inspection, next Monday morning. I know there's a lot hubby wants to flag with them & even if he didn't I still think ...

Hi everyone, Hubby and I were just looking back over some photos and have noticed the part of the tile that is cut out for the floor waste (pardon my wordiness) is round, but we have requested (and paid for) square floor wastes. Would this be standard practice that the 'hole' would be round but can ...

Hi Homeone! Just after some casual feedback and I'm aware everyone's 'mileage may vary' etc etc. Would ask my SS except I have attempted to do so in the past so don't want him to think I didn't believe him the first time, but I feel like maybe his estimate was out? So 6 weeks ago (pre-gyprock or any...
