Plenty, nothing structural / major though. Just plenty of little things, (e.g. painting issues, sliding doors move to much in rollers so can't lock, front door doesn't close properly, stacker…

We went with colour bond roof.
After the several repairs, so fair (touch wood), there hasn't been any leaks. In saying that there hasn't been a major storm to test…

All I can do is tell factual…

My last post was July 2021, it's now Jan 2022 and I'm still awaiting issues to be resolved from handover back in May 2020. Their handling of the whole process…

we have 2.7x3.2m corner stacker (so 6.4m of double glazed doors) they open / slide perfectly fine. hard for a 2 year old, but my 7yo nephew can open them.…

We still are yet to have all the issues resolved. Many "fixes" have just created more issues.
Structuarly we've had two roof leaks since handover, and the fixed leaked was…

Thankfully there doesn't appear to be anything structurally broken, though who really knows...
More then anything we are just totally disappointed in there response to resolving anything. I get during…

Hi Stu84,
sorry for some reason I missed this one (and the notifcation that came through via email must be going crazy!

Some councils won't allow windows to be below a certain height, for example we where required to have a minimum of 1500mm from floor to sill height on second story…

Change to a toilet with built in basin? https://images.victorianplumbing.co.uk/ ... OMGG_p.jpg
That way you can have the door open internally and hinged on the right hand side.

Anything over 1100 will be fine. You'll likely also need to encase the sewer unless its less then 1m deep as your pool will be sitting in the zone of…

Guess I had a reasonable neighbor then... In our old place when building the fence, I simply asked him what they would like to do, either fence all the way…

Are you sure they aren't hardwired with a battery backup?
They typically chirp to let you know to replace the battery even if they are hard wired.

No grass would grow there would it? or will the grass grow throw the holes (there not massive, biggest one is prob 15cm x15cm)... Or do I have to buy…

Sounds good.
