It's in, cement truck gone and we can after 4 days sit and relax. The foundation hard work is done.
This is the infill panels
Now to put the sleepers in then panels for the fence.
CB - it's a 8kw split system, prefect size for our living area. The house cools down fairly quickly once night falls so bedrooms are fine. If we have a heatwave, can always sleep in the lounge, dining or family rooms that it covers.

Awesome! What an achievement already!
Well done shell!
I'd love aircon but it's going to be a while before we get it, I want solar first

Maybe you should lock in a supplier Charli...govt rebates about to end and they can get your rebate now and install/pay later when it's ready. That's what I was going to do (before I remembered I'm poor now) lol my solar will be years away! Bit bummed but what can ya do!

Not sure about other states but in Victoria, it is the date you install the panels not the date you sign the contract to install and pay any deposit...
The increase is price after Dec - 31 is around $250 for a 5kw system...I am planning to put some panels after handover...
Nsw is different reg. You get the rebate when you sign on for them. I was going to get 10kw system with integral energy. All I had to do was sign on the line.
Retaining wall for fence is done
Now to install the geofabric and drainage then I can fill. However the high corner won't be filled - it's a storm water pit, so planning to build a patio over it to level it with the rest of the yard.

2 years of fencing -
CB, just the alfresco, I left my laundry as it's just the laundry. We plan to put a floating wooden floor deck over it one day and then the floor will be flat.

I only recessed our corner stackers then realised hat our activity also goes out onto the alfresco and we have recessed it so I asked to raise a variation on Friday to make it recessed also... hopefully I don't get hit with their admin fee for asking now

They were going to charge me about $105, but I reminded them they said they would do it free and they took it off. So shouldn't be to much for you.
My trees have finally been planted out.
I also built the front retaining wall myself today.
Hubby spent the day moving soil around on a toro digger.
Just need to keep spreading it. So far we have had 40m3 of top soil delivered. We will need some more for the other side of the house.
Starting to finally look like a yard we can use.

Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing…
