The internet is a strange and mysterious place :wink: I knew it was you when I saw you comment, adorably, on your "housie's hat" :lol: I've been going around calling my roof a hat now too! Don't worry, I always go pic-crazy when progress is made!

Wow, the landscaping and driveway look so modern and sleek :) It's really pulling together. I would love to get something similar done with our driveway, but we had pavers included in our house contract and I doubt we'd be bothered to replace them in the future unless they were cracked or unsightly....

Hahaha I love your post 2good4me :p YARRRR!! Blocks are indeed funny things, I felt a strange love of my own when we went and saw it for the first time. We took loads of pictures, and returned home in a happy cloud of thoughts for the future. When we got home, we noticed that the power dome was on t...

Awesome, they sound like they were a long, hard time coming :) Best of luck for the rest of the building process. Sounds like your builder has a lot on their plate, but I'm sure they want to look after you. Do post them for us to have a squiz!

I should probably know that, but I had to go chase up my plans lurking around :lol: The house is 280sqm total, and the ensuite is 13sqm. The ensuite was a major point we changed for sure. We just wanted a big bath, and somehow the ensuite ended up swallowing the orginal home theatre above it and mov...

I originally wanted to go with a pale-coloured tile: http://www.bristileroofing.com.au/pcms_image/31248331543245.jpg But after seeing the tile next to the pale bricks that we had chosen we opted for a darker tile to stop the house looking too homogenous in colour: http://www.bristileroofing.com.au/p...

A $10,000 home theatre just to watch telly is blasphemy hehehe! The people who are really enthusiastic about a good home theatre setup are movie lovers. Telly isn't being broadcast at the same audiovisual quality as cinema releases, so a TV and a couch are more than adequate for watching the news :)...

That linen cupboard is quite the talking point!

Oh goodness you're at lockup already! How exciting :D We're hanging out to see if the tiles went on this week.

$10,000 on a home theatre setup? I don't find that at all too much, in fact that will be our budget when we start saving for our own. We're both technologically minded so we want the proper gear - now if only we were rich too! I think if you're planning on spending less for your equipment then you'r...

'ello to you all, hope this post finds you nice and cool on this hot Perth summer day :D I thought I'd sign up and get cozy in the community, this is a fantastic forum with a wealth of information. My husband and I are building our first home with RedInk Homes in Helena Valley Estate WA, between Ka...

Hi everyone! We built with Redink Homes in Helena Valley WA, and wanted to share with you the birth of our first home! Construction started in late October of 2009 and handover occurred 6 months later in April 2010. The builder was fantastic and really took care of us, and I would recommend them wi...
