Simply put - if you are looking for a HT experience in a living room purpose built or with sound bars or whatever your are not going to get that experience. If you are looking for projector in a living room - you could go for budget portable ones like Xiaomi mijia or short throw projectors (if you a...

They were built temporarily as our land sitting below from either side. Cost was low as they didn't use H brackets and etc. I removed it b4 building a concrete brick wall and fence on top. It was a landscaper who did for me (we are in south sydney)

Peeps building with Coral homes, Could you please share your experience with them. Hi Sabhara, looking at building the monash 32 mkii. We have paid our $1750 for the tender and currently waiting for stockland to provide access to the land for soil testing and contour. We are building in stage 11b d...

In Sydney I think MDJ are slooow in admin stage... they are but similar time as Masterton. Its Mastertons build time that lets them down. i got a sense of that as well when the sales agent kept saying that their focus is on quality so may take extra time to deliver. You could ask here what the usua...

I forgot to post what I went for - I went for a local landscaper who quoted $7.3k. Now build all finished, I will have to move it after fence done.

Another one I noticed in design is ...it's states Porch SLAB poured part of Driveway ? Is that normal... I thought like outdoor alfresco the slab will be part of Main slab. Is that normal to exclude porch from main slab. Please suggest You would want your porch area to look the same as your drivewa...

Surely it can’t beat the new Cordless Dyson on each floor. We've got a Dyson V10 downstairs and a Xiaomi Roborock S50 upstairs.... Great combination Because we have the wool blended carpet, a few push of the vacumn and it's full. Question for everyone, how is the robotic cleaner in solid floorboard...

or instead save tons of money and get yourself a couple of vac robots instead. They are very good those days. Ducted vacuums will be gone really soon, same as TV antenna, same as phone lines - those are good things to NOT put into a new build. Give some second thinking re NBN too as with 5G Mobile ...

If anybody successfully finished any projects with Raspberry Pi or Arduino - share it here. How to do it and components and little guidance too. I'm interested in it but not a programming or coding expert, but have done small scale like getting Kodi on Pi for HT etc..

We are just about to start our 2nd build and are still referring back to this page, it's a goldmine! One little thing that is a big deal to me is the grout in the tiles. I am not sure if it's just me but I definitely prefer smaller grout lines, and as usual, if it's not mentioned and in the contrac...

@mpricecs Beautiful your house after the landscaping finished. Glad to see a finished work almost similar to ours (Grange 29, St.Kilda and frontage -slope etc). I have been thinking about doing landscaping similar way. Curious to know how much it cost for front landscaping including the fencing?

Hi, Did anyone have a customer service officer who never attends your calls and not bothered to return your calls? Plz advice how do I go about with just emails flowing up and down and no proper communication. Does the commencement letter from bank mentions anything about the start date or that's p...

Wow. So an FYI regarding Clipsal Warranty process... Downlight has died... had to lodge a claim with Clipsal which is going to take them 1-2 weeks to assess then they book in an electrician to come out, inspect and replace the downlight! If we move it from it’s location ourselves we void the warran...

The product we got in our quote 'SkyFi' was being upgraded so we are still waiting. We only had one main control unit downstairs installed. We could have had the second control unit hard wired in upstairs but then we could not have the SkyFi option (it's either one or the other). There are several ...

We have a 20kw 3-phase Inverter Daikin unit with 8 seperate zones. Each zone can be used independently from the other. We are waiting for the new Sky-fi controller so we can all access it via our phones. On these hot days we have it on 23-24 C on low and it's great. However we did not get it throug...

Good Afternoon Everyone, Has anyone gone with the daikin ducted air con from coral homes as part of their build? Any issues after the build or regrets like finding out you could have got a better deal elsewhere? Any feedback would be really helpful. thanks We took that promo as well... But after so...

We finished our clipsal appointment. Can anyone confirm do we have to pay again for sparky for owner supplied Led downlights or fans or anything?? Clipsal already charged us $89 I think but somewhat that price need to check papers. So you mean you already asked Clipsal to do ur donwlights? And you ...

Hi s-X-S, My initial plan was to do nothing or bare mininum with clipsal and do everything with sparky onsite with cash and post hand over for lights. My only worry is that the sparky onsite might quote the same cost as clipsal or higher because they know I cant go back to clipsal and request a var...
