Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Boutique Homes 249Feb 25, 2014 6:20 pm Thanks for that Bandha. Our situation is really similar to yours - tiled roof, no sarking and the rangehood is on an internal wall. I think I still might get it vented externally though, mainly because I'm paranoid. Yay Wazza! How does it look? Smaller than you expected? Re: Boutique Homes 252Feb 25, 2014 8:55 pm Thanks Wazza. Had to throw a Star Wars reference in there somewhere. Got the inspection report back last Thursday and it was long! Thankfully most of the problems were paint touch-ups that the SS had already picked up. So as it stands, I'm waiting for the final invoice so I can send it off to the bank (they've already done a valuation which is good). The SS had to order another front door because he ordered the wrong one and I think that's coming on Thursday. Then we go have another look at the house and sign it off before picking up the keys. Our floors are booked on Monday (because our SS assured us that we'd have the keys by then) and even though we most likely won't have the keys our SS said he'll open the house up for the installer which is good. Meanwhile I've been trying to sort out our phone and internet connection with Telstra. Geez they do my head in. Re: Boutique Homes 256Feb 26, 2014 4:14 pm Wazza78 Have any of you guys who are just starting your builds doing blogs ? I don't know how people find the time, don't they have jobs? Some of the blogs are terrific, huge amount of input. Would be a nice record to have. (I'm in IT, so turning on a computer after work is not at all relaxing.)

I have a blog Bandha, but I'm on maternity leave at the moment so I update it while the bub's feeding or sleeping! 10 15761 Ask for references and speak to them.
