A first flush system simply removes the first few litres of "dirty" water from the pipes and gutters entering your water tank. I think what you are referring to is…

In this case dead space = more profit, simple really. You sound surprised!!

The island bench is 890mm and all others are 690mm.

480mm internal, 510mm external.

I guess it really depends on you and how desperate you are to get in as to what you consider as minor. Some things can be easily fixed and done…

Can't believe it was a year ago!! Oh and no they didn't want our inspector with us at PCI either. We went around and it all seemed a bit rushed…

MGardz if I were you I wouldn't agree to a PCI inspection until you know all the major things have been fixed. At PCI you will be asked to sign…

It's not flat but it's not particularly steep either as its over a distance of nearly 6m. I wouldn't be overly concerned. Ours is similar to this and we have…

Your garage is 87cm higher than the boundary so no not flat.

Not a drip from our shower!! Yes we have a gap under the door but it's no different to the other internal doors. One of the reasons you pick your…

If you have a flat block why do you need a DEB?

It costs the same to dispose of rock as it does soil. Any floating rocks which they can just pick up with an excavator will make no difference. Any extra…

Sandra, I arranged for some fill to be removed rather than paying M. Admittedly we had about 100 tones of rock but it cost me $900+ GST for a truck…

Agree we had one small area which was not level but the guys who installed the floor levelled it before laying the bamboo. There will also be areas in the…

That's correct it's not good if it's raining during the pour.

Once the concrete has set I don't think this is an issue. We had torrential rain for weeks after our slab had been poured, some say this is actually good…

In our case yes they did. Be aware of any rock though as they almost certainly won't cover its excavation and removal.

PS take the walnut out of its shell first

Talking about scratches in bamboo flooring someone told us to rub over the scratch with a walnut. Admittedly ours is lighter than yours V and I assume it depends how…

The height from the tiled floor to ceiling is 2.2m (we have 2.4m ceilings upstairs). The height of balustrade is 1030mm. Hope this helps.

Yes you need 3 phase from the street. When I got my quote for electrical connection from Ms preferred electrician the quote was for 3 phase metering to the switchboard…

Similar thing happened to us so I emailed the accounts dept and explained why I would not be paying the final invoice until everything was fixed. They didn't have an…

Our council gave us bins without an IOC, in fact we never got an IOC we just moved in. Once we had done all the work the certifier came and…

M will appoint a certifier and arrange all the inspections when necessary during the build. At the end they will give you a list of things that are required to…

Oh and Statewide Electrical just do the internal stuff. All connections to the street etc they subcontract it and take their slice of your pie.

We had a similar situation. They try to bully you into paying so they can sit with your $1000+ in their bank account for 6 months or more. As I…

Being in the Shire we too used Statewide Electrical and I guess it comes down to your SS when it's connected. I had to insist it was connected when our…

You should have been asked at your aircon appointment to choose the vents, they have nothing to do with the manufacturer of the aircon unit itself.

We submitted our 90 day list after about 150 days and they called me a few days later to arrange the date, the earliest was about 3 weeks.

Congratulations Bleaky!!
On the subject of wardrobes if ours are anything to go by I would recommend you either get M to leave them blank or build around what they put…
