What was the state of your new house when you took handover?? We had handover on friday arvo and it looks like none of the kitchen/bathroom and laundry cupboards were cleaned. The wine rack above the fridge was not cleaned, I rubbed my finger in one of the slots and it came up white! and a lot of th...

It's been a while since I've put up pics. Internal frames are up and plastering has started this week, been told it should take 3 weeks as it's a big house and then the kitchen goes in! http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u224/stiltkins75/DSC02832.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u224/stiltkins...

Re: Has anyone used similar bathroom tiles? [PICS]Bathrooms and Laundry

Feb 25, 2010 9:56 pm

My parents use travertine in their bathrooms, sorry this is not a good pic of the tiles, I took it more for the doors that open up as we've got something very similar for our bathroom and I needed it to show our builder. The tiles my parents have used on the walls are huge! http://i169.photobucket.c...

Our most weird one was in our last house, totally completed, just about to move in, went there one day to find a family walking through taking photos :| ::stop:: now that would freak me out.

We walked through our neighbours the other day, they have just had their roof put on. He also had his plans on the ground so we picked them up and had a peak :oops: I did a very quick walk in/out and then darted back to our property, leaving dh taking a slow stroll through the house.

That would be great but our contract says 1st week of August ::surprise:: Seems like a long time away but I think they put an extra month in or so to account for christmas period and wet season.

Thanks for the replies :D I'll look into those other products. I received my quotes back and funnily enough the crimsafe was the cheapest quote by $500! I was very suprised.

Dec 02, 2009 8:15 pm

That certainly is not acceptable! And certain moulds such as toxic mould are extremely dangerous. Our last rental house had a terrible mould problem, I was sick with constant throat infections and migraines, we went away on holidays for 2 weeks and I felt fantastic and within 1 day of returning home...

we've had delays with our bank too and I totally agree it's so frustrating! We have the approval, just not the official approval letter yet that our builder requires, yet they still layed the slab. Our bank lady said we'll have by monday at the latest, so everything should start again next week. So ...
