Thanks Loretta! We've got heaps of 'high priority' stuff to do, and while we don't want to do turf yet, we've got a dog. Without turf, we'll be cleaning the…

Hi all, sorry for the lengthy delay - we've been trying to work things out with council and the builder over the last few weeks. The good news is...
It's been…

How is it possible to have setbacks so close to the end of it all?
After a weekend full of good times with our future neighbours, we were hit with some…

Eek. Nevermind.
Good memory though.

Interesting material choice. Wood decking has me concerned about wear and tear (we will have two labs running across it constantly), so seeing an alternative like this is encouraging.

That deck is gorgeous! Congratulations!

Thanks Loretta!
Yeah, he's a pretty clever boy.

Wow, what a weekend. The amount of progress made on the house last week makes us realise that we really don’t have a lot of time left to prepare for…

Hello Monday, where did the weekend go? If you’re like us, the weekend flew by bringing Monday entirely way too soon. But in an attempt to find the silver lining…

Thanks all.
M3tr1c0n has been very receptive to our concerns, so I'm sure all is in progress - despite hearing relatively little about the build this week. At any rate, we'll…

We visited the house again yesterday (there’s a common theme here), and discovered a lot of work had been done over this past week. The stairs are in, the…

How far off can it really be? (Probably a ways - I'm never good at judging those kinds of things.)

Congrats on the looming handover!
Can I bother you about the driveway for a sec? Do you have any idea what that stamp pattern is called? It's exactly what we're…

Thanks Loretta. I think the shelving issues won't really be issues in the end. Our site supervisor has taken the initiative on little things that just weren't 'up to spec'…

We showed up to the house on Saturday and found the gyprockers hard at work. They invited us in, and we had a look around. So here’s a quick list…

Yeah, it's confusing. Apparently, lock up is when council signs off on the frame stage. Convenient isn't it? M3tr1con gets their money, but by all literal terms, we've yet to…

Well, that's a bit different.
Good to hear he's got people on site. Poor guy - he deserves some progress.

I think we’ve set a record this weekend. *Checks watch* Yep. We’ve officially spent more time at the house this weekend than we have at any point during the build…

Earlier today, we had an onsite electrical inspection with our site supervisor to ensure that all our light points, power points, data points etc. were in the right places. All…

Thanks all!
We've had some pretty bad weather, but everything seems to be on track. It really does seem to be moving along fast now. At least it's watertight, so progress…

Well, the weather in Sydney this past week was craptastic at best, to be honest. While we need the rain, we were hoping it’d hold off a week, as the…

Hi Sea Eagle,
There are a few other future residents that lurk around here from time to time, but you're likely to run into them a little quicker over at the…

This is to be expected until the golf course is finished. The valuer can't factor in the increased land value of living in a golf course community until all 18…

More progress to report this week!
The week brought scattered showers, but Colebee seemed to escape the worst of it. We seem to have had weather on our side this week…

Is it possible to wire up a set of speakers to two different audio sources? I want to use a set of in-wall speakers as the rear channel to a…

Our expectations were pretty high this week, seeing as no real work was completed last week due to a supply issue. After speaking with our site supervisor a few times…

Don't forget - The Stonecutters Ridge thread has (more or less) migrated to the Community Forum at http://www.stonecutterscommunity.com. If you're building at Stonecutters Ridge and want…

Thanks for the update! We also got a call from our site supervisor this evening. I must say, he's been doing a great job in keeping us up to date…

I have no idea how you are supposed to lay the decking, BUT from an aesthetic point of view I'd say horizontal to the doors. It would ensure that you…

Can't say I know the overall cost, but we paid an additional ~$11k for Colorbond, whereas roof tiles was included in contract. This was for a 42 sq. home.
