Re: BOLD LIVING CALYPSO 189 - FIRST HOME - BRISBANEBuilding A New House

Hey Daisy - will follow along your build. We will probably start to compile a list of rectifications closer to the 6 month mark - we are otherwise doing pretty well in our new place and I hope it all goes smoothly for you :-) Let me know if you have any questions or if you think I could help with an...

2 month update - settling in well. Have had a few issues (water leak what???) but we are enjoying our new home and our new neighbourhood. So to add to the happiness, we thought better get a puppy!!. Time to build a deck (hopefully Zach gets onto it sooner rather than later). Hope everyone's places a...

Re: First Home Build - Narangba Qld (PCI 29/09!!)Building A New House

QUESTION: Has anyone ever had trades finishing things on the morning of handover?? If there are other things that are still not finished I will be reluctant to hand over the cheque. Carpet was laid with no underlay (we questioned this at PCI) so all has to be ripped up and laid again but they haven'...

A soaker hose is a good idea, anything to help the turf with this heat. Yes Monday is a public holiday, I'm waiting on the bank so I'm feeling your pain. We had the same flooring in our Metricon build I thought it looked the same [emoji23] Great news all the sign offs have been done. Uhm yes that's...

I'm really impressed with your facade it turned out beautiful. Now that you have turf make sure you go and water it every evening or it will die in this awful heat. Your PCI list is great not a lot to be fixed up at all. They will have all the items fixed up before handover. I had pages yours is fa...

Yeah maybe try and have to get a soaking hose with a timer from bunnings - not that it's alot of turf to water anyway w...

Pleasure Zacherine [emoji4] Hopefully the list will help you. A window service is when the installing company come back out towards handover and check the windows are functioning properly, the ball bearings are good and if you need any window angles. (A window angle generally goes above a fixed gla...

Window service is apparently happening next week!!! Who would have known haha. Lucky you're onto it

PCI Complete. Overall quite happy with it. Paint touch ups, scratch on front window (to be replaced). Only major thing was our walk in robe dresser, no mirror and the PowerPoint is on the wall where the mirror should be and not on the side. So they've got a busy week. And so many dirty hand prints e...

That's so exciting you have PCI tomorrow morning, defiantly a good idea your going it's a huge milestone. Things to look for, All doors and windows open and close smoothly, kitchen and bathroom cupboard doors and draws sit flush when closed, no chips or marks. Tiles on walls are laid evenly, if you...

Yeah I like how yours is nice and flat, except for the dip with the gutter. Buy this block of land, it's flat they said!! Hopefully you're all settled in by the long weekend - that will be nice !!

At least you are saving A LOT of money then... including the actual move. We eventually have to shift 2 levels of crap at our rental :( . Will need to offload most of it to save costs.

Re: Front Door Height with 2700 ceilingsBuilding A New House

Sep 15, 2017 9:18 am

What height is your garage door? If that's not raised it shouldn't look too out of place, especially if its a nice wide entry one. We have raised all door heights (including garage door, linen cupboards, bedroom wardrobes) but normal width front door and I was worried it was going to look very tall ...
