Right but is it an issue to occasionally have a half inch of water sat in the cavity? I'm not being awkward I'm genuinely asking. It's how I've seen lots of builds in WA.

Jeez apologies for having an incorrect thought guys! [ASTONISHED FACE]

I'd be wanting the fence or wall off my land! Or to be compensated for losing some of the land you have paid for

Keep it! Our last house had been built without it and being in WA and the way the garden was oriented meant on a hot summer day it was impossible to sit out comfortably. We added one prior to selling. Cost $8k for a nice steel 25m2 pergola. Al frescos under the main roof are more appealing and lendi...

After the usual long waiting, waiting, paperwork waiting timeline we are now just starting construction! Our groundworks started Friday and footings should be done this week sometime. Hope the weather is good! We are building beachside, albeit over a km from the beach [emoji16] but still! We were or...

Hey Dani, thanks [emoji3] I just checked our schedule as I couldn't even remember the tile shop! So long ago now, January I think we did them. It's called Palatino Textile Flax, from European Ceramics in Ossie Park. They also do the same but in brown/grey tones which I preferred but then we struggle...

Thanks Nelly! Yes the activity was one of the good things about the Aveling plan. It's based on their Rosemoor floor plan from a couple years back, which they've updated to the current Vale S3... We have upgraded some of the Rosemoor to be almost the same as the Vale, but for less $$$. I also have a...

Pinterest is a dangerous time filler! And I think 'pallets, we could make that with pallets!' Meanwhile back in the real world my OH took 90m today to fit wheels onto a plank of wood to make a diy skateboard for our eldest. So the pallets will live another day [emoji23]

Footings started yesterday, pipes in and cement being poured today in the rain [emoji942] http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160506/4b8a20f75544b50f9590c299766f335a.jpg

Who knew this stuff was so exciting! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160506/d62b3c4f263fcb953059ab312370f749.jpg

Slab down! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160511/13b6762473ebd3b93cdd40f322a56f24.jpg Looking from the back to the front http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160511/dc92a16ce7d07ebebac9f8d5dcbd06c2.jpg

Congratulations! :z: So exciting. Slab looks great. Thanks Nelly. Where are you building?

Congrats on having the slab down! :) I love the nice big garage and alfresco you have there, I wish I could fit a garage like that on my block but we're working with about half the space! Looking forward to seeing how your build goes. Thanks itsmartin. The bigger garage with side roller door was th...

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160615/fb049b75a01825d4f1bb942c69150417.jpg From a week or so ago. Think we have picked flooring too. Going for vinyl plank flooring due to it being (hopefully) hard wearing with two kids and two dogs! Here's a picture of the floor sample and carpet. Trevors have s...

Reached plate height now, looks a bit more like a house! Had our inspection yday so hopefully that will be ok. Brickies delayed a bit with some bad weather meaning we lost our slot this week with the roofer http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160705/3856ccfa674a0f001ed6d36b34e747e5.jpg http://uploads....

Just read about this - not good. Also includes Aspireon Homes

Shout out for help to all you knowledgeable paint people! I am thinking I want to go Solver Kitty Grey on all walls (after living in the house we will add feature walls). Only now I'm wondering if Solver Dhimba would be good? Are they both cool toned grey type colours? Our doors and frames are WA Wh...
