i haven't posted in a while because i've been out building the great wall of andronicus. We had a deadline of the 29th because on the 30th we had…

yay pci....

ultimately there are several options but a lot depends on the actual measurements (eg total drop from the finished level of the driveway to the top of the existing retaining…

Timbo,
If it was me, I'd look into moss rocks lining the side of your driveway as a form of retaining. It looks like you have enough room and will save…

all good!

How do you guys install curtains? I've just hired this guy to stand there and hold it up 24/7. Is there another way?

Thanks all,
Jess, the site supervisor has 2 weeks to clear out all the PCI items. He made a bunch of phonecalls during the walkthrough to organise stuff. Already today there…

Had PCI yesterday and it went well. The walkthrough took about 2 hours and there are no major problems. In fact I'm quite pleased with the result. Most things will…

Hey Jess,
So sorry to hear the date has been pushed back. Surely they must have other painters that can get stuck into your house a little sooner.
We feel your…

Thanks all,
robinred55, the internal paint colour is called solver musk.

Excuse the last two but i took it through the tiny gap on the front door glass…

nah that's the newer release area - we are in one of the earlier releases. Although as someone discovered, our street is not in the…

Lol, good to soldier on visiting the site with the flu! hope your feel better before the big move.
We visit every couple of days but always after work meaning we…

EDnurse, it's looking great - I'm glad things are progressing well for you.
The wall tiles in your bathroom look similar to ours, i think

Major work for the builder to do would be painting inside and out (starting monday apparently) and stormwater.
Then there are lots of little things left like putting in rainwater tank,…

Very happy to hear that things are moving along. Also love the power tool - you can never have too many power tools.
House is looking great.

Hey,
It's looking great, congrats.
Funny enough we may end up with PCI about the same time. We haven't got an actual date but on Monday the SS thought about 4 weeks…

Hi everyone
Haven't posted for a while but can assure you that we share everyone's joy and sorrow with everything from new plans, site cuts, slabs being poured, houses progressing, delays,…

We packed everything up in Feb 2009 and apart from a few essentials it all remains packed.
My wife particularly cannot wait to move into our new home and unpack…

A couple of pics for anyone interested.
I'm quite happy about the kitchen - they just need to put in the breakfast bar edge around the top.

Oh no! such a pain!
