Thanks TamDaz. Yes it is really rewarding to look at things and know we did them. To be honest it has been abit crazy and it is really only the last couple of weekends that we have been able to sit back and relax and enjoy it!

No problems, Stegasaurus, let me know if you have any questions in the future. We kind of decided that since we were spending so much money on our new house, we might as well redo the whole footpath (perhaps could have got away with only doing half of it) because otherwise you end up with this nice house but an ugly footpath running across the front which spoils the look.

It does help to see others' piccies because it gives the rest of us hope. Your home is really beautiful. I hope you're enjoying it. Thanks Robinred. We are loving it. Good luck with your build. Nice to see there are a few other Rossdale people on here now. When we started we were the only ones so there was no-one to compare notes with.

No it is actually just just creek pebbles which we used as abit of a feature in both the front & back yard to break up the garden beds. We actually were going to have exposed aggregate for our driveway but it is not as popular in SA as it is elsewhere mainly because our soil in SA tends to cause concrete to crack a fair bit. It was hard to get anymore prepared to give a quote on it but it seemed to be around $110 psm. We ended up doing pavers because it was cheaper as we were able to lay them ourselves.

We did that ourselves & luckily our SS has let us get it done prior to handover which might mean we can get just abit of water in it before we move in to help with the garden. Otherwise we would have moved in during Sept and had an empty tank all summer. Originally we were going to have a slimline tank down the side of the house but once the brickwork went up we decided that we didn't have alot of room there but the backyard had heaps of space so we decided to go for a much bigger round one. We wanted a tank that was bigger than could fit through the access so we got it built on site and it cost less than the off-the-shelf tanks that the other companies offer. The company we used is called Taylor Made Tanks and they have been fantastic and so for anyone building in Adelaide, I can highly recommend getting them to at least give you a quote. PM me if you want the details. Anyway, here is our 12,000 litre tank: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi Woodvillesouth, Great house! I love your kitchen - the colours and finishes and how it's been put together - especially love the idea of the pantry door being concealed! Now i just wanted to ask more about Taylor Made Tanks - we have just had a quote for 2 tanks - 1 x 35,000L (build-on-site) located up the backyard as we have a large space for it. They have made suggestions to plumb the whole house to the tanks so we can ultimately be self-sufficient. They seem to have offered the best service in terms of coming out and talking to us, and the best laid-out(explained) quote that we have seen from anyone. Out of 5 places we asked to quote, only one other has got back to us. It's quite a bit of money and originally we were only intending to get the big tank to store for the garden and supplement toilets in the house. Not sure if it's worth the outlay? Is your tank for garden and house? How much of the house is plumbed? Quality of their tank? Thanks Re: Our Custom build with Rossdale - 6 months later 159Jun 12, 2010 6:56 pm Hi fitzy Our tank is plumbed to both our toilets and the laundry and also used for the garden including our subsurface system under the lawn. During summer we turned the house off for a while so we could use it for the garden which was needing abit more water than normal because it was all establishing. Since March the tank has been pretty much full so it is definately worth getting the biggest tank you can afford (financially & yard space wise) because it fills up quickly if you have a decent roof catchment but gets used quite quickly if using it for the house. I wish we had gone abit bigger to help it last abit longer in summer. Taylor Made were excellent and the tank seems to be of very good quality. We would happily recommend them.
