Pretty productive day in the garden today!

Looking fantastic! Have been following your build with interest!

One of the questions we have is do MainVue let you supply your own appliances?

I used all of their appliances so not sure. I know you can delete dishwasher for a credit but didn't really look into it.

Makes such a difference Chloe! It's looking awesome

Drew - answer is yes, we have done it. Only the rangehood had to be Builder supplied.

Chloe - your landscaping is looking awesome!!

Thanks Vino... The range hood is the main item I really want to replace...

I've had 3 Qasairs, and they displace 3x the volume of air as a "normal" range hood

Thanks everyone!

Planted a bunch of the trees today!

Rest of the turf is delivered tomorrow so should be all but finished! A few more plants waiting to be delivered next week

Looking great, Chloe!

Looking great Chloe! Welcome to the world of watering grass non stop. Regretting not putting in a watering system that does everything automatically! First world problem I know. What type of grass is it??

chloea_ · Feb 12, 2016 6:36 pm

Tell me about it!!!! 3 times a day for 2 weeks

It's the Kikuyu one. So lush!

snyde · Feb 12, 2016 7:46 pm

Wow lot of watering!

It's looking great!

Hi Drew, they did the Qasairs for us. Installed and cheaper than what I could get from E&S.

Chloe, your landscaping looks great.

Mines Kikuyu as well! Pretty sure our houses would look very similar. I've resigned to twice as day. Even that's hard work!!

chloea_ · Feb 13, 2016 5:20 pm

Front turf finished! Did most of the front all by myself today! Proud

Oh and finally did the letterbox! Postie will stop harassing me now!

Hey Megan is yours going a little yellow? I'm watering like crazy. I would assume it would probably die off a little with the stress of being replanted.

Yep mine has spots of yellow. Hoping it will come good once established. It's only been down for five days so will wait and see.

Hey Chloe, quick question when are you going to mowing the grass for the first time?? Mine is almost three weeks post and is very long but don't want to ruin it by mowing it too early

How's yours looking?

My dad said wait at least to 4 weeks then give it a really easy mow - not short!

mlp18 · Feb 27, 2016 8:51 am

Yeh I've heard anything from 2-6 weeks. It's looking very good, getting long. Yeh first mow will be on the highest setting

Another lot of progress. Unfortunately due to the water meter not being able to be moved for less than $2000 (!) had to do the last step the other way! Think it still looks okay!

Who gave you the quote for $2k? Private plumber?
Ours is directly in line with our front door - yarra valley have mentioned we can get a plumber to just do it if within 600mm, or have to apply for it to be plugged and relocated.
