Great work on the doors. Agree wholeheartedly with your choices.

Yep looks good. So satisfying when the final coat goes on. It is, as you said, no more looking at it as something that still needs doing.

Looks good.

I feel your pain. Wind is a hazard when you’re doing it yourself. Rain just spoils everything. Just as things start to dry out, down it comes again. Rinse and repeat.

If its permanent, then no it needs to be connected to the frame.

Choose another cladding profile. Plenty of nice ones available.

Probably less waste installing parallel. And as you say, less joins that could impact performance.

How are you attaching the batts?

Decent amount done for a weekend.

That’s what I meant to say. Bad quality is the new normal.

Is the crawl space enclosed?

Aussieta was being sarcastic I believe i.e. sloppy work. Why is the valley flashing not the same colour as the tiles?

Security torx bit.

Something has been lost in translation. You need to go check the plans before agreeing to anything. But building that close to the boundary means no windows so your privacy is ok.

Removalists are paid by the hour :-) Make sure the front door is big enough. Once had an issue with a freedom furniture couch (Aussie made) was too long to get through the internal door and turn up the hallway. Luckily it has a metal frame bolted together so I just pulled it apart.

Has to be done before tiling, by the builder or tiler, that’s the only really realistic option.

Yes a tricky question. Personally I’d keep the ensuite private but that’s just me. Years ago houses had only 1.

Sorry no, I think it was in someone’s home build thread. Pretty bad, they had videos of the noise.

3rd for me. But then every window in my house is exactly the same shape, style, size and location ;-)
