What are the extra things you did not budget for? Please share so that I can be prepared when my time comes as I have no idea what ****** ahead of me I love it too, it still has all the stickers and plastic on some shelvings, waiting for the day that we'll need all the space in the fridge before I take them all off. So things I didn't budget for, I didn't know I had to, or knew I should have but didn't coz the build ended up being 4.5 months instead of my anticipated 8 months, or I just decided I wanted it right then and there and not later, etc: * Opticomm connection fee * Paying full fence instead of 50% * Build side gate * Microwave * Kettle * All dishwashing needs * All washing machine needs * All toilet and cleaning needs * Rolls of non-slip stuff for drawers * Indoor and outdoor brooms * Mop * Placemats * Concreting side of house * TV unit Now half these things are trivial or should have waited, or could have used old ones... But I got so carried away esp with the bbq 4 days after, that I just said stuff it buy it all new! We also weren't supposed to get our dining set until after xmas but oh well! --- Re: onlot234: we're in :) 753Dec 19, 2014 11:43 pm H1 you house is looking great. It's impressive how quickly you guys are settling in. Our neighbors moved in on 7th Dec and NBN given them installation date for 7th January. That's a trouble which can't be fixed till neighbors will be ready to move in. We have empty block right next door and no idea when they'll commence. It's a pain as you have a solution. don't worry about water, gas and electricity going up by 10% pretty soon. Re: onlot234: we're in :) 754Dec 19, 2014 11:46 pm Just to let you know, it's much cheaper to buy water filter for your fridge from overseas on eBay. I normally buy them from a uk based seller (lot of 4). One filter lasts approx 6 months. It costs about $15 each. Here shops sell them around $50-$60 each. Re: onlot234: we're in :) 756Dec 20, 2014 6:34 am Ohh we have fibre optic stuff, I wonder if Arnold's creek has nbn because it's older then peppermint grove.. Haha that's okay because now I'm on the hunt for a tap like yours & I'm going to masters to see if they still have it on sale! That's an awesome price! Was it hard to change over or did you get a plumber in? Ahhhh your the best! I have no idea what our front door handle looks like but I'm sure it'll be ugly, my friends is.. It really is an awesome fridge! That wind was crazy, I'm just trying not to think about the dust, my partner on the other hand is a neat freak so it'll drive him insane (like do neat his 4x4 hasn't seen dirt let alone mud) Ahahaha I wouldn't worry about costs! Pressure washers don't use much water anyway We'll that list is super handy!! I've allowed for some of that but not all, I spose it's lucky we only got all of our appliances 1 yr ago or less. Thanks for that list!! Will be taking those things into account now..
