I've read through the Tree Management Manual and the Tree Preservation section of the DCP, were there other documents I should look at? The tree we want to remove is a jacaranda, fortunately it's not a native tree but it's also not on the pest list so council decision could go either way. I'm worri...
Lucky the tree is not native, I wonder if you propose replacing the jacaranda with a smaller native (especially making ...

That's fantastic progress, @kjane! With the frames up, the inside space looks huge. Weather has been a bit wet this week, hope they managed to get the bricks up for you. We've never rented before, so don't have any tips to share though I've saved alerts on domain and realestate.com.au so I can keep...
Oh man, you can't catch a break with those trees! Sorry to hear it's not going smoothly with the DA. When we were havin...

We found out the arborist included up to 9 trees on the report, including trees on neighbouring properties, so we didn't end up going to Council to check which tree specifically. At our site inspection, the arborist said one of the trees on the neighbouring property was too close to our fence, our ...
Good news on the trees, although frustrating that it slowed things up for you. We also initially had issues with a tree...

I know it’s been a little while posting. Family/work/life has been pretty busy and we have been slowly chipping away at our list of things to do! I’m happy to say we have finally completed our deck. Still a couple of little decor details but overall very happy with the end result!! https://forum.ho...
Wow, the space looks so much bigger with the decking done. Looks great!

Great photos Kjane and LePip. We have started bricks after the rain delays. Happy with the Austral brick colour choice after choosing so long ago. We are still uploading photos on Instagram for anyone interested. You don’t need an account if you follow this link: https://www.instagram.com/rebuildin...
Just had a read of your rebuild, looking great! Can't wait to see the front room with the moody blue paint. What furnit...

What lucky timing on the 1 day sale - that's an awesome deal on the lights! The weather has been pretty good this week so hopefully you'll get moving along with those frames :) H&H submitted our DA last week. Today Ryde council came back with some pre-assessment notes which we need to address -...

That's great to hear kjane! My partner has already said Mahogany is her favourite so that's a very good sign! I've attached a copy of the floor plan our sales consultant Danny drew up.We have a narrow lot (12.5m), and it's been very difficult trying to find a house design that ticked all the boxes ...
So cool that you were able to get the floor plan exactly how you want it. Great idea with adding in the study area, but...

We paid our tender acceptance deposit now waiting on drafting to draw up the plans :) Have been advised to check out the brickyards and the selection looks decent enough. Did everyone go with the included range or did you end up upgrading? Also if anyone is interested in seeing our modified zara fl...
Yay! Exciting times 😀 We went with the included bricks. Funnily enough we went to both brickyards and looked at all the...

Love your choice of upgraded tiles - the colours and pattern are gorgeous and timeless. Glad to know we can choose 2 different wall tiles for the bathrooms as part of our inclusions. I think we have a good idea on the tiles we want to choose - we're playing it safe with a neutral colour scheme (gra...
Unfortunately no more progress on the frames due to the rain, so fingers crossed for this week. Has your DA gone in yet...

Hi @kjane / @seren1ty (and those who have done their internal selections), we are in the middle of scheduling our appointments and have been told to do our tiling selections at the local Beaumont Tiles store. We visited the West Ryde store and didn't feel there was a huge selection and remember you...

Hi guys I’m writing in regard to something that may help people when building their new home. We too are building with HH (Sienna 36) which we have made a number of changes to (added bathrooms, living space and are building the neauvou facade) To help us with our floor plans and decide where things...
Hi Lquill, where are you building and how far along are you? It's great to learn from another build. How is the build g...

I’ve also discovered another HHH build that has just commenced on Morrison Rd, Putney that we’re watching. The Lane Cove one seems to be going well albeit a few concerns I have re the brick work around the rear flashing and a couple of other things but overall a smart looking house. And the one on ...
We popped by to see the Lane Cove build the other week and in particular looked at the brickwork in the rear, it is une...

With the break in the rain yesterday we had action on site again with some of the first floor frames going up. So good to be able to see how big the windows will be. Super happy with the size of the windows at the back and the one in the front bedroom was a nice surprise. I knew how big it would be ...

Zen your stormwater is making me nervous. We’re also sloping away from the street with a rear easement and I think our PA is $30k and $4k sewer. Fingers crossed we don’t go over. I do suspect we will also need to bury some OSD. I’m trying to get a sense of what this will look like as I’m also hopin...
Hi @jacks, our stormwater plans have the 4 grates close to the fence boundaries so they don't affect the landscape desi...
