Could they be the scaffold sections?

For the first level flooring, if it has expanded on the edges, they sand it beforehand. Mine was exposed for months and it came up fine after a sand.

Can i pick some brains of the tech heads here. We don't have nbn, so have a modem and about 4 data points, mainly for smart tvs. Most of our…

The initial fee comes off the contract price if you go ahead. And it does include soil and survey tests. I never got a copy of these.

We ordered a lot of things new too. But didn't want to store it or get delivered before and then have to move it again. But most places like freedom…

Thanks, yeah after handover. The cupboards are ikea that i cut to size to match the depth of the pantry shelves. And i reused the shelf i removed on top…

Check out my walk in pantry modifications. Took out the bottom shelf and added extra cupboards. Not quite finished, but happy with the extra storage.

Great progress on all the builds! We are settling in to our house quite well. Just have so many little projects to do to finish rooms, extra cupboards, shelves,…

You can always add a small wall or false wall after handover. We added 3. While not ideal, you have more control on where things go and it is not…

We have the steel beams too, but also have a balcony above. We don't have a grand alfresco as such, but we did make it a bit bigger than standard.

Wow Fiona. Your house is so beautiful. Congratulations! We found SC to be good at finishing up all the odd jobs very quickly. And just text or email him…

Yeah we wanted to do some structural additions, but our SS said no way. Just wanted 3 walls added, ie close off formal living room to make a study and…

Didn't even think about toilet door locations, but i have 2 boys and that door rarely closes!
You don't want my retaining wall guy, SO slow! He only…

So agree that until you live in the house, you just can't forsee certain things. Eg our timber stairs are beautiful, but they have a metal strip near the edge…

SC emailed me asking for a 5 star rating on the website. That i was a good customer and always satisfied. Really? I don't know how he got that impression.…

One thing that we didn't think about too much was towel rails. But the standard is 1 very narrow double rail for both main and ensuite. I hate double…

Sounds like you got an external finish tile. We had 1 tile in 2 finishes to match, 1 smooth for bathrooms, other rough for the balcony.

Some advice for downlights. The ones clarendon install are pretty basic and not very bright. We had them installed for all the living areas, but just did bathrooms and outside…

We did tiles after handover and they bundled the skirting in the garage. Just got a guy in last weekend to put the skirting on. It was only a few…

Was his name Glen? He did ours and we're very happy with the brickwork. Want him back to do some extra bits, but previously he was so busy doing clarendon…

Moved in today. Urghh, so exhausted but still very excited. Doesn't seem real that it is ours. Obviously crap everywhere, but hopefully we'll have some order to it by the…

Hi penno, glad you're enjoying your house! Quick question on cavity sliding doors. Saw on here or your blog that you had a 1.2 door, was that a special order…

Hi Fiona, same SS, same slow progress. Our build was 11 minths exactly. Was so sick of the complete lack of urgency. Day after day of no or little work…

Thanks, will let you all know how it goes. Excited, but really teary too after everything. Hope I don't cry in front of my SS. Though might stress him out…

Handover today!!!! So excited, hardly slept.

Totally agree! We had to pay to warringah council. It was such a surprise too. Think after our approval came through we were told. I thought all our approval costs…

Yeah, but not straight away. If you picked a stain in your colour appt, then they will stain it during painting. For ours they have been back a few times…

Most councils need demo approval, and sometimes it is relatively easy as a CDC. Best to get quotes from several companies, look in your local papers for numbers. They will…

Pci done and handover tentively booked for next Wednesday. House looks great, quite a few touch ups required but nothing major. Stairs are being polished now, carpet Friday, appliances…

Yeah, gemini silver. But matt, need to argue for low sheen on Monday
