Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - ALMOST LOCK 162Sep 17, 2017 3:26 pm Did a sneakie beak and checked out your house on the way to Goldie. Really love the blue in the flesh. Looks like you have a race on your hands against your neighbour! Hope things move quickly for you guys! The end is so near for us too... but not near enough. They got through the middle part of our build quite quickly but really slow beginning and end!

We can run an extension! I'm not really excited by anything happening at the house for now because it seems to be taking so long for anything to happen. I'm just so over it and I've realised now too that we will have to wait for all the landscaping etc to be done too so I feel like we will never get in. Re: First Home - Custom Design in South Ripley - WEEK 17 LOC 170Sep 22, 2017 1:08 pm Have just caught up! It's looking amazing! So jealous of your render. We decided against render with the builder because our costs were going above what we wanted to do, but it's the plan for down the track. I love the colour!
