Hi all, for those still in admin - highly recommend upgrading to soundscreen insulation and solid core doors. We've been in our house 3 wks and just finding the echo thru house a little annoying! Hubby and I work different hours (I'm up in the morning early and he's home and about 11pm) and just sh...

Thanks for pointing that out. Is the sound screen fitting only on internal walls? Leaving the insulation for the extern...

Plasterboard finally done!!! It only took 7 months to get to this point! Lol! But in all honesty, we're just so happy with how things are progressing now. Hopefully all will go smoothly from here on in! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170421/95afe5e1bd3e8648416e3ad779b0c31e.jpg https://uploads.t...

thanks for all the well-wishes guys! I'll try not to be a stranger to this forum, it's been a great place for support :) We're all going through the journey together. Friends/Acquaintances who haven't built don't understand what you're talking about so it's always great to come here to stay sane. S...

Appointments done. $9700 spend with electrical, but with very little to do ourselves after handover. About $3k at colours and then there's stair upgrades to add and sentinel for the HT speakers. The shed is missing from the landscape plan (that'll go in as a separate DA) but it's going in the green...

Woohoo! We finally have a handover date after months of doing that last 5% to get the house perfect. Gonna collect keys on Thursday, I think our build took 2 weeks less than the record-breaking @orpheus and his dream metricon but is definitely up there on the record books for longest KDRBs. W claim...

Wow SBAT I thought u would have had them by now! The rain has been pretty crappy so that's a shame it held you guys up....

Has anyone seen the final workmanship of betterview blinds for their plantations?
