No action inside at least i can easily add a carport down the track and turn my garage into another room if i ever need it? Due to house position it will be quite easy to reverse into garage yay (a safety thing)
Re: Custom Build with G Devel. in Bris - Bricks are up 63Nov 02, 2018 9:16 am Does anyone know where I can get a contractor to do the same aggregate concrete around my house (after handover) and rough costs? Re: Custom Build with G Devel. in Bris - Bricks are up 64Nov 02, 2018 10:30 am I'm using Manny from MPA Concrete Solutions. He's been really good so far - came out and had a chat about what we want and what he can do. Very accommodating. Looks like you are just about to pass me in the build process. I don't have garage doors yet, they are scared to put them on because of potential damage. They'll have to put them on soon, as the garage is being painted this week. Have they given you a finish date yet? I went with vertical timber grain on my cupboards, because that's the way trees grow.. lol. I dunno - never thought about it. It's looking good.

Painters and electricians are meant to be in 7th Nov and PCI a month later, but I think they are getting delays because all week all I saw was new driveway (I also stopped visiting as busy/no access). Though if my weekend wasn't so busy I would go seal my drive way. I probably worry about the concrete paths around house later but its probably better to get it done before the neighbours fence goes up as its easier access? I better ask them when it goes up...

I will get an independent inspection so it might delay another week for potential fixes, but they did that with the last inspection (at least they got onto fixing stuff instead of arguing it like my colleagues' builder). I booked 1 week leave for 2 weeks after then 1 week work, then off again for a week. Omg it all just falling into place! My landlord though gonna have to try to find a tenant after I leave while he is on holidays (my brother is my landlord haha) Re: Custom Build with G Devel. in Bris - Bricks are up 72Nov 14, 2018 9:22 pm Splashback, electrical and plumbing done today. Can't wait to get in their to pt my lights correctly. Hoping to get electrician to pull down the bubble pendants further.

PCI is next Monday. I had a look through and it looks like they already brought in their own independent inspector which marked little things like scuff marks etc. It looks like they are spending this week and a bit to fix things before PCI so I am quite confident we will be in before mid Dec Re: G Development in Bris - Form 21 04/12 awaiting handover 74Dec 04, 2018 3:46 pm We had PCI yesterday, thank god for having inspectors. I was like everything looks fine, he comes back with 3 pages of defects - mainly paint, scruff marks, noticed 3 tiles were broken, ground needs proper clean and sanding back as flat for vinyl planks I plan to do - thank god he asked me, and specifically put that in the report yay. Noticed a few more things so they will fix up. Form 21 was also supplied just now. Very happy with the builders, they are no nonsense and not bells and whistles, but I paid good price so I am a happy customer! Everything has gone quite smoothly too.

Yes! it was stressful and painful - we did flooring, paid removalists to move furniture and clean the old property. Due to the xmas shut down, I had to wait for my crimsafe windows and soil. But due to tiredness also fu_cked up some setting up.. so dont do any renos etc while physically tired... (gotta repaint some marks on walls). Oh did you sign up for the gov solar rebate? qld gov gives you $3k free, and interest free loan up to $10K to be paid over 10 years for solar panels AND battery that's less than $100/month in repayment! so you are already positively geared!
