I agree Jen your moods are dictated by the build and that is why I had to restrict myself from going to it to a couple of times a week. Munchi you are so close and hopefully your SS received your file yesterday and you get a call today. This happened to us and my CSO went on leave & all we wante...

Tarsha I love your shoe rack & I am jealous of all your shoes! I don't know if you agree but I have found moving in a bitter sweet experience. Whilst I love our new house, I feel upset that we don't have everything complete (especially the dishwasher!) & I asked them over a week ago for wind...

So it says on our paper work all internal walls Dulux White Duck 1/2 & the media room is Dulux Bearsuit. I was really worried about their colour matching but their mat...

Koroboo you are progressing well and your house is looking great. What colour are your floor tiles? They look similar to ours. Tondar you are also progressing quickly! With bubs keeping you busy the rest of the build will probably go quickly for you now :)
