Hello, Weird question, was not sure where to ask. I have googles, but my googling skills seem lacking. I want to know if I can purchase sheets of wood with the high gloss white finish you find on some of the ikea products (like the Ikea Kallax storage units).

So we got our handover Tuesday 8/8 and have been chasing beechwood daily for our interim occupancy certificate and still don't have it.. starting to get a little frustrated. They were nocked back until they get a slip resistant rating for the internal split stairs. Anyone else get a handover withou...

Our whole bench is below cupboards. We have a toaster, kettle, electric wok, Thermomix permanently on the bench, used every day, some times multiple times a day (some times it alternates between wok and thermomix, but other days both are used). Kettle was only used as an example. Did not think it wa...

We moved in on Sunday.. Just an FYI, climbed into roof space... 7 bags of insulation thrown up there, not installed.

We have moved into our new home, and we have appliances (for example, kettle) on the bench nextt o the stove. This has cupboards above it, and I am wondering what people do, if anything, to prevent the steam moisture under the overhead cupboards from the kettle and such? or is it really a non issue?

We have FTTN NBN. So, its just a phone line... i am hoping the phone line itself was connected with the usual services.

Does anyone know if connecting phone line from street to house is included? We should get keys this week (hopefully) and we have internet connection booked for 5 Aug (was earliest we could get :p) and now I am hoping we have a phone line. We have a phone point, which was done by electrician, we just...

We had our final walk through last Thursday. We found some issues, which we were told would be fixed by 25 Jul. My only ongoing concern is, our house was put on piers due to flooding requirement, but water seems to pool up under the house. I questioned the builder about this and was told I would nee...

I asked our supervisor. he reckons we should eb able to have our walk through inspection on 23 June!

Got a phone call from builder saying the shower head we chose is 'obsolete'. Even though I can still buy it online... So, had to chose another one :( Flooring usually done before or after shower heads installed? ;P~

Apparently the window frame still needs to have storm mould attached, whatever that is. Anyone know a good place to pick up blinds central coast nsw?

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/70159_1494288438.jpg i am not sure what to even say about this. looks like the hole was cut correctly, then the frame was made, they must of noticed it was wrong.. but left it in.. wonky.

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/70159_1494288355.jpg this just looks dicey.. think they will add something around it?

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/70159_1494288126.jpg the front 2 windows have chipped bricks around the frame like the above pic..

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/70159_1494287986.jpg with this one, the top row of bricks (under patio concrete layer) are the red brick, not the external brick colour. perhaps they will cover this when they tile the patio?

We went and took a look at our house yesterday. Pretty excited to get in, but think we are 2 months'ish away. We noticed some bricks are chipped around window frames, i can upload a pic, but has anyone else had to deal with this ? :\ We also have some light switches in some odd positions, not sure i...
