New HBC build in Baldivis Parks-front garden + elephants!

jlo that looks so lovely! I don't see any elephants but I do spy an Eiffel Tower

I could swear I read somewhere on here that sealing/painting the garage floor will also make things less dusty - but I may be completely wrong!!

Natalie - is that for real? Why don't the banks/mortgage people tell people that? I thought we needed it from PCI onwards How do you know what value to insure it for if it isn't fully built yet?

PCI was Sept 2, second PCI was Sept 16. I was able to pick up keys on the 16th but i had to work so i got them on the 18th

Looks amazing jlo - how exciting Everything looks so clean! It must be a great feeling to be in there. You had such a quick and smooth build!

Haha looks clean, definitely anything but! Still picking sand and dust up everywhere!

Pretty smooth build so definitely cant complain. Having some issues with a smoke alarm but that should be an easy fix!

Yep for real I work for NAB and we incorporate free building cover for 90 days so for 3 months (from lock up pretty much) you can insure your home and it be the full value and free of charge instead of paying for something that is not complete. You never insure the land value just insure the value of your home in the event of an accident that it would cost u to rebuild.

A lot of people don't know and thats why they don't pass the information on but recently found this out when I did some extended insurance training at work which spun me out. If you need a quote let me know and I can email you information and do one for you

Thanks for the info

jlo looking forward to some more pics

Natalie my bank and builder both said we didn't need insurance until keys if we don't have anything owner supplied builder install. So we're good for now - which is a relief!

That's great to hear

Everything is looking stunning jlo!!! Hope your having lots of fun with it all

House looks really good JLo, glad the build was relatively painless... I'm thinking I'll have to move Turf to number one on the priority list just to reduce the sand issue..

haha well i have the landscaping people coming on Saturday to draw up plans so hopefully the front will be done soon. Once my gate is installed on Monday/Tuesday ill be able to start on the backgarden too!

Looking forward to seeing the landscaping

Hi guys! Sorry its taken so long, been super swamped! Just an update report, faulty smoke alarm has been fixed (yay!) fencing and gate are installed, front garden plans are being drawn up and going to start working on the back garden on the weekend.

Still not as many elephants/eiffel towers as i would like, but they're slowly finding their way in
