Expensive but I really wanted it Not a big fan of cavity doors in a media room, let alone a theatre room. They let way too much sound escape from the room, and that's something you don't really want to have happen. You should also put in accoustic batts around your media room too, as they'll help keep the sound in the room. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.

See if they can put in 13mm gyprock in the ceiling at least, but definately the batts in the walls before the gyprock goes up. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.

I see that you've got colourbond, looking at your time frames you've been so lucky, as well as avenger, things are progressing quick for you guys, who'll be in the house first though is my question Avenger - Thanks so much, I'll look into that, its always good when you've got somebody to recommend isnt it! When did you get the building inspector though? like did you book him in advance? or when you got slab etc? do they need a lot of notice? sorry again with the questions! I just want it done right, and make sure, double triple check, I mean thats what we want in the end isnt it! Im so jealous that you both get to go furniture shopping, I desperately want to do that too, but DH thinks its not a good idea cos then it'll mean that we'll have to lug it into the brand new house.. I'm more of a visualiser and want things like now.. he's more of a ldoing things right the first time, double and triple check it haha.. he keeps me on the gound haha.. I really wanted to buy this couch in furniture bazaar and its been discontinued Hows furniture shopping for you guys going? Tsmith - Oh wow thats not far from us! Us SOR got to stick together I know right!! our titles were delayed from Sept 2014 to Nov 2014, so I'm not impress either, but we finally got dirt and thats great, it means we're not that far from titles and land settlement. I still havent signed final docos, I've signed draft variations but its gone to drafting, no more changing, bank approvals have to be done again (we went over budget, oops) but thats okay because we got a better deal! So hang in there Tsmith,. it just means that you get longer to choose your selections and save more money and yeah.. in my mind atm, you just cant rush perfection am i right guys?!?! hehe.. Im so excited to see fellow New Genners (is that what they're calling it hehe).. I had to change from phone to computer as its much easier to reply and mobile format isnt great.. am I the only one that thinks that? We signed up for our land in July 2013, titles were meant to be in March 2014... delay after delay, but it did allow us to save up and even upgrade our block from a small 288sqm one to 450sqm! that's right you can't rush perfection! We have plenty of time to work things out hey Re: IssyandOzzy's Residence - We got dirt :) Oct2014 18Oct 19, 2014 5:12 pm bpratt - How much are acoustic batts normally? I'll let my hubby research it tsmith - oh jeez that is a long wait! when will your titles be due then? I really hope ours isnt too far off, nov 2014 means nov 2014 Just hope they pull to their promise. We sign up in Feb 2014, and titles would be sept 2014, but then there was a delay due to previous stage issues.

I'll let my hubby research it Very roughly around the same price as your normal insulation batts. Check out the 'Big Green Shed' or the 'Big Blue Shed', and they'll have prices on their websites. You might be lucky and your project builder might let you bring them in on site when the gyprocking is happening, or put you in touch with their gyprocking people for them to install.
