If you want to go down that route of “ample time”, so has our government, yet they’ve only just recently put some decisions into place.. once again not an easy decision. Scott specifically mentioned open homes last night as well. May I ask if you’ve personally been affected by a business closure? Do...

I'm sorry mate but you last posted here four years ago.. did you just come on to make a post about Metricon keeping their business alive during this difficult time or?

Mate the sea called, it wants its salt back..

I would check your contract, if they have not stated this fact then that’s on them and they’ll need to install it as per the contract with no additional cost to you.

Hi Jess, Our clean wasn’t too bad. Nothing was really dirty but we did give the home a through clean prior to moving in :)

Hi mate, I don’t think anyone will be able to give you advice on whether or not they can just decide this as this current economic situation is unprecedented. However, I do not see why they wouldn’t allow you to do a walkthrough by yourselves - the only issue they may bring up or base their reasonin...

Hi Jack, Actually I myself am extremely high risk to a chronic disease thus you can shove your irrelevant comment back where it belongs. I think it's ironic how you've only mentioned Metricon when there are many other businesses still operating, it's obvious you have an issue with them and I feel yo...

Looks like it just has covers over each end? The valve looks off at the moment so you should be able to undo and add a piece to connect the fridge to the tap and then turn it on.

As soon as you buy if you are using finance you will be paying the loan.. you just make it work I guess. We paid repayments probably for a good year prior to actually moving in, however most of the time (for construction loans anyway) you elect to have interest only for the first twelve months which...

Hey mate, Definitely do advice as above. We had a similar thing happen to us (same side but not where we wanted it & not as per plans). Unfortunately when we mentioned it, it was too late and it had to stay where it was.. we probably could have got it moved but it would’ve been too much hassle..

Jesus.. if my home looked like that after only three years I’d be contacting the builder for rectification..

We did our own carpet and underlay (mainly because I used to work at carpetcall so worked out a good deal) and got really plush carpet and upgraded underlay.. I honestly recommend it, you can really notice the difference and carpeted areas are usually used quite a lot. But that is just my opinion.

Thanks for your replies guys. I will try both things before I contact the builder :)

Hi guys, Recently we’ve noticed that we’re getting a lot of ants in one room of our home, upon inspection I found them coming through three slots in the window frame, I also went outside and sprayed the window, came back inside and saw water inside on the sill, can anyone explain if this is normal? ...

In general, landscape designers are very expensive So what did we do... We got three quotes ranging from basic work through to a real designer look with hardscapes and softscapes. It was to be expected that this would come in at a lot more than the basic quotes for basic work... It was SO worth it ...

Hi everyone, So I've just dug through our contract (as I'm looking at acoustic insulation for certain areas) and the builder is putting in " Foil Faced Building Paper" they have not indicated an R-value rating, does anyone have any reviews or experience with [color=#3e3e3e]Foil Faced Build...

Hi mate, thanks for your reply. Yeah I believe the paper won’t, I was just under the impression that internal walls get insulated also the acoustic insulation was just for a media room, I was just surprised the internal walls do not have insulation, but again, this is my first time building. The hou...

Hi MClark, Thanks for the reply. I have done both options and decided I can do it cheaper myself, I even got a great price on the batts :)
