When should I get the next one? After the water proofing is done? I was going to reply before but forgot... We have 5 inspection stages "pre-booked" with Houspect. We did this to receive a discount but also because we knew we wanted those 5 stages inspected. Our stages are: slab, frames, pre-lining, waterproofing and pre-handover (PCI). It's entirely up to you.. but yes, the next stage in our inspection plan after pre-lining would be waterproofing.. If there is any minor errors in the slab or frame, it's not the end of the world.. but if there is even a pinhole in your waterproofing, you could be in for a world of hurt if it's not picked up. Waterproofing needs to be perfect.

We have just got our colours variation back. We are building the Madison 39 with a few variations which takes it to about a 41 square house. Our quote for off white mortar is $2981 which seems a little high, did anyone else in Queensland do this upgrade? We are using Moondust bricks with a feature balcony in Eclipse. Also has anyone done the Hettich corner pull out shelving at all? Our quote is $2059 for two units. We have a similar Blum version in our current kitchen and I vaguely remember it being about $600-700.

They do however expect you to pose for photos with both items in the pic which I thought was funny. House is in Kellyville.

Building the Clarendon Merriden 30 (44 after Mods) @ Harrington Grove! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 7956May 30, 2015 10:25 am So upset. Just visited our house and some low life $&*% wit has punched 4 holes in our front entry wall. Some people are just a waste of space. Want to cry...

What did the Ss say? One of the doors must have not been locked properly. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 7959May 30, 2015 12:10 pm justwondering1 When I called Smeg and told them what happened, they said that it was strange and asked if the better half could have let the door close too fast as it does have really strong springs. I explained she had just wiped the oven and started to close the door and still had her hand on the handle when it exploded. I told the lady that i heard this is common with a lot of brands, the lady replied....."considering how many ovens we make, there is a small percentage of this happening and therefore I wouldn't say it's common. When I asked her why it happens, she said that they can't put a finger on it as it was good tempered glass. Yeah right, good tempered glass from Taiwan!! Just wondering, lucky no one got hurt when the glass exploded. Should have not happened on a new oven though.
