Congratulations you made it! I looked at your place recently and thought I saw a person on the deck, maybe I did!
Enjoy settling…

I love IKEA is is great therapy! I do hope they get it all finished for you soon! At least it looks like a real house when I pass it…

If you use old sheets, it is free! Just use drawing pins to pin them into the tops of the window frames. This way you will never see the holes.…

Definetely not finished yet, it is very strange that they sent you the invoice already. My guess is there was a communication mix up. I would ring and talk to…

New home inspections is also good and service the Berwick area.

I love the front facade of your house and all the windows really. Lovely large ones!

Our house took 4 months to build. Although it was only a 23square single storey house.

It was when we built. They just have s small square of it though.

It is laminate and it is Witloc- Tigerwood. I was worried it would be too dark initially, but we are very happy with it.

We have laminate flooring, can't remember the colour, but it is listed in my colour selections in my thread I think. Check out my thread in my signature, you'll find…

We've been in our home less than 6 months, so not really long enough to give a valid opinion. No problems so far though.

My sliding doors let in heaps more sun than a normal door would. In Winter I am going to put my clothes horse in there to dry the clothes! …

Hi All,
I've been a bit slow, they are about to start the plastering on our house, but just starting a build thread now.
So a bit of back story -
We bought…

First of all many apologies for being a bad forum user. We've been in the house 4 and a half months now. So here are the pics I should have…

From memory flooring is not part of the fixing stage, so no. But double check your contract. I think all the stages were defined in the contract.

Glad to know I'm not the only one!
Do love checking out everyone else's for ideas though. You are very organised Nickvee! I can never find time to do anything! lol

Cabinets are part of fixing so should be in very, very soon. Titling comes after fixing I think? It's hard to remember and it wasn't even that long ago!

Hi RANDS,
I work at a law firm, so had a colleague look over the Contract. Afterwards I thought it wasnt really necessary as Carlisle's contract do not really vary from…

I think I just emailed ours to our SS, but I recommend just emailing it to the SS and CC'ing your CLE as well. Its good to cover your bases.

Our land settled about 18months before we commenced building and luckily for us we did some asking around real estates before we commneced building as our land had de-valued. This…

Hi Zierra,
Yes we had a pre plaster inspection and a pre-handover inspection. Would definetely recommend it for peace of mind. Nothing major was picked up, but I still thought it…

fabulous job, they look great!

How exciting! The plumbing looks nice and neat! You'll probably be locked out soon, but it's ok you just have to stare in the windows!

The frame will be very exciting when it goes up! You'll be able to work through your 'rooms'.

Love the house numbers and the couches look great in your place! lol I was also really excited about getting bins!
You've got me thinking…

I have just built with Carlisle and I can tell you they are currently running a promotion to encourage people to put reviews up.
I will be doing one shortly, however…

Sending a hug your way, hope you're ok!

Hi emptyspace,
Not sure where you are, but we only paid about $500 each for our two private inspections. Not expensive at all, considering the cost of building a house and…

Congratulations Nickvee! Super exciting. Good luck with the move today. Have fun unpacking, we still have lots to go.

oh well, maybe tomorrow. Yeah i know i need more pics, it gets crazy after handover!
