I agree about lock up not being nice! But it also means it's not far to the end!

I am going to follow your thread as I am building with Aussie Living as well

yes very true i have been reading through you build not long now looks great

Thanks! The end is so near!

slab

brick work




roof timbers start

roof and render and windows

glass and sam's gay

lock up

lots of changes again today and the doors were open Cabinets started first coat of paint and the tiles have been delivered

Hhaha sam's gay, love it!

I can't believe I have only seen you once, I was literally at the house like every day almost since slab down, and every second day before slab!

Good to see it's moving along

we were only going at the weekends so that probably why, started going in the week now as things are move on.
just been past looks like the are doing your paving

Yep paving completed but I'm not happy with how the drive way has been paved. Can only fit 1 car in it because they have gone around where the electrical box is , but by a good meter and a half or so it's insane

That's going to be a really nice house that you have there.
Can I know, if your area is affected by the European House Borer? It means that the roof and ceiling timber must be treated.
I am building in that suburb too and my builder has informed that our area is categorised as a restricted movement zone.

thanks
we were advised to have the treatment if i remember correctly, where abouts are you building ?

.

some progress today started on the bathrooms and showers fitted the data and tv points little bit disappointed on how these have been done everything else in the garage is cut into the walls these have just been put on top with big conduit I've emailed ALH

Yeah I've noticed that with almost every house, or at least every aussie living house in the area that they just conduit the data cabling in the garage. Mine is the same.
Good to see progress though!

seems strange they know the cables are going there why not cut it in i would have paid if they asked on a plus conduit looks big so i will be able to use it for my data cables that i forgot to get a conduit fitted for

lots of movment this week tiling in the wet rooms is all but done sinks in and the stone bench tops, we also have downpipes
