We've been in our new house 2 weeks now and yet to plan the backyard. The house next door sold and the new neighbours have also just moved in and erected this monstrosity 1 meter away from our back/side fence (and where we thought we might put our kids play area). Hideous!! http://img.tapatalk.com/d...

Upgrade was $1854 but totally worth it. Mortar is natural with rolled mortar. :)

A lovely member on the forum gave me a list of houses with the bricks we were looking at (Brushwood) in the Epping area so yesterday my husband and I set off on the train (with our bikes) and rode around the new estates in Epping North/Wollert. It was SO hot, I don't think I've ever had that much w...

3 days till i get my keys...ayyayyyaaayyayayaayya 2 It's finally happening!!

PCI tomorrow :) Woohoo! How did it go?! Went pretty well!! The usual little bits here and there. My main concerns were; - staining on stairs is very patchy.

We had a pre existing plain glass mirror attached to the wall when we bought our first home. It looked unfinished so we ordered an amazing frame...

PDKallara- as hubby (captainsideburns) mentioned, things were cleared up pretty quickly. Once we forwarded our inspection report to our SS he got onto the tradies to do the fixes. We then had another onsite meeting not long after so he could go through the report and show us where things had been re...

Ooooh we are going to use these too in a month or do. Would love to see how it turns out for you. We love the board and have high hopes for it! We will be laying ours vertically/longways the length of the corridor and matching that throughout (if that makes sense?!)

It's been two weeks since I raised all the issues with my SS in regards to the frame stage for the frame/slab/window issues, a total 22 items in fact and another 11 raised in a Building Inspection report from last Wednesday. The only ones fixed are 2 slab issues non of the other items have been res...

Woohoo! We have a PCI date. Possible hand over by end of month. That's at least 6 weeks ahead of schedule :)
