unfortunately Hallbury homes is not building in Manor lakes area :( and the Porter Davis one doesnt fit my block So your block is narrower than 14m?

The Porter davis waldorf grange 44 fits your block exactly. 14x32

couple things to consider: FHOG eligibility is not lost if you build an investment property and don't access FHOG. You can access it in the future (if its around at the time). If you've already accessed it, you've lost access to it in the future. But by the sound of it you havent applied or received...

doubt it. They were fairly generous with the time frames already and extended them due to covid. A line needed to be drawn somewhere. What were the circumstances that impacted your timings?

Laminate and hybrid flooring are in the same price range. thats like saying cars are in the same price range as cars. there is an extreme variability in quality and finish across these products

Theyre obligated by law to have those inspections. take a read of metricon vs softley. That slab was passed by a surveyor too.

yes its worth it. every stage. You also missed a crucial stage in not having slab inspected. If there was anything wrong with it, its all covered in concrete.. Cost is usually around 5-700 per report. SOm places will give you a discount for multiple stages. Dont know anyone in Sydney that i could re...

yeah i dunno. We went with 92mm skirts and 67mm arcs. Personally i think it would look wierd, but I dont have any first hand experience with 92mm arcs.

thanks for the pics. Looks weird to me. It would shiet my wife to tears i reckon. I originally asked for this in a half splayed profile. My builder suggested narrower arc otherwise it would look weird. I think they were right. Ill def. be keeping an eye on mine now. If you can live with it though, k...

yeah good point re size swap. didnt think about that.

I agree with the post above.I really like how it looks. I would lover to have the wide trims but it cost too much. Thanks. Yeah I think we have decided to live with them - the more and more i look the more they are growing on me. Interesting as well to hear how variable the upgrade cost is for some...

people were camping out for land releases in western sydney for four days so its quit possible that land is getting snapped up like that. Not had that issue in Melbourne's west though. Walked into a land sales office, liked the look of a block, paid a deposit. Done.

Given AJs need to be free of any hard or non compressible material, how do brick ties factor into this? Can pick ties be present in AJs?

When using a coach screw, is it's holding capacity diminished if the length exceeds the thickness of the wood it's going through? Ie if the wood is say 40mm thick and a 75mm coach screw is used would that be a problem? I onow the solution is just get shorter coach screws, but not sure if I need to

Hi brains trust. So I'm building a place and I will be doing the usual perimeter around the house in concrete. At the moment, the builder will be putting silt pits in along the perimeter in a couple places. Right where it be putting the path (obviously be cause that's where the storm water pipes are...

Hello. Been here before. Not focusing on that, focusing on the new build. Wife and I have settled on a Montessa 43 by Henley, with a change to the whole top floor. Moving the master suite to the back changes the layout for the better IMO. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/99750_1610940461.jpg We are bu...

So anyone have some insight into how waffle pod slabs perform over time when laid during uncharacteristically wet vs uncharacteristically dry periods on highly reactive clay? All engineering requirements and drainage being conisddered as met of course.

Hey all, just about to send out a fencing notice. Don't have any quotes yet as the fencers are talking their time to come back, but I don't want to delay the notice so will provide an estimate. What are the approximate fencing costs per meter in Melbourne for a 2M high standard colourbond fence with...

Hi brains trust. Im think i may have a plumbing fail on my hands and would appreciate an opinion from some of the qualified blumbing professionals on here.
