Re: Angle Vale Dechellis Custom BuildBuilding A New House

Apr 14, 2020 3:49 pm

Interesting to hear Trent. We are tossing up between Dechellis and a much smaller family construction company where the person who you sit down with to design the house with is the same person that is on site building everyday as well. Dechellis quote was about $40k higher with slightly more inclusi...

Re: Trees. Love them or hate them?General Discussion

What direction does the block face? I wouldn't want a tree overshadowing my house badly in winter, or my solar PV system on the roof. If the tree's to the west I'd love it overshadowing my home on summer afternoons (though again, this would shade solar PV). Its in the NW corner of the block. The bl...

Its in the NW corner of the block. The block orientation is not ideal but the view out of the potential living areas at...

Block is about 950m2 and the tree is within 5m metres of the front the block actually mostly hanging out over the street. The next closest tree would at least 50-60m away in the reserve behind the block. Still trying to find my photos of it from when I was last over in Adelaide in June and will try ...

Trees. Love them or hate them?General Discussion

Hi gang just looking for peoples opinions on trees. My wife and I are looking at buying a block in an estate in the Adelaide Hills. We've found a block that has a large gum tree at the front of it and because of this the block is pretty well priced for its size and has had no interest in the 10 mont...

Re: Roof - colour bond Vs Tiles?Building A New House

Dec 12, 2019 4:14 pm

Yeah im in the colourbond camp too. Love the sound of the rain on the roof and it would only very rarely (I'm talking like twice in the 5 years weve been in this house) be loud enough to not be able to hear the TV etc. Looks so much nicer as well. Lived in lots of houses over the years but only one ...

Hi there guys, We are looking at moving from Perth to the Hills (I'm from Mt Barker originally) and were wondering how you guys who have been living at Mawson green for a few years have found it? Do any of you work in the city? If so how long does it take you to get there each day? Do your kids go t...
