Thanks guys! Over the moon on all fronts but especially with the new edition to the family. Still so many projects to take on... alfresco and porch tiling, veggie patch,…

Here's a couple pics of the floor for your reference.
Also the reason for being MIA is 2 fold, plenty of work post handover going on each weekend and the…

This is kind of the reason why I decided to post, I've been seeing a lot of Rawson backlash but I wanted to share my experience, both good and bad.…

Here's a couple pics of the end result...

It's been a while between drinks but figured it was worth a quick update on our build process wit Rawson, particularly the back end of it and the warranty period…

** work annoys me so much! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the grass recovers for you and works out.

That's great to know! Watering is key I guess and the more the better by the looks of it.

Loving your work! Out of curiosity considering I also just laid Palmetto over the weekend, how many times a day are you watering and for how long at a time?

Hey Calvin. Place is looking great. Having just completed my own landscaping, I'm curious to know what turf you laid and how often are you watering now and for how…

I like the sound of that Steve. Did you have to move any clay based soil and if so, how did it cope? Also did you arrange your own transport…

Hey Steve so you mind if I ask roughly what those Dingo tippers cost to hire and for how long? Do you operate yourself?

I feel your pain SteveMc. My wife and have decided we will be going down the OB or small builder path if we ever build again.

Red, we're maybe 8 weeks over contract period. Best of luck with it, things might have picked up a little since we started building.

Hey Calvin, just curious if you hit up rawson for liquidated damages for the delay? My build time is approaching your timeframe and I'm contemplating pursuing it but not sure…

Powder room is even worse haha
I must say though, SS has been great and is fine with resolving the issues due to the contractors incorrect work so thumbs up to…

Jonny: they're Caroma Liano from what I recall.
Building4my3tots: I'm unsure what the height is standard but it is a bit high and not helped by the fact the vanity height…

Red: we opted to get the powder room redone. 15cm lower than required was too much. I think I can live with the ensuite and bathroom being 5cm lower. Still…

Yeah I started looking online and bath spouts seem the way to go and we'll likely do that after. Point taken on the point down style spout. Shouldn't be too…

Thanks for the prompt input. I'm in the same boat at your husband, hence the 900 high vanities. I can life with 850 upstairs. I could even life with 750…

I have a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice. So all 3 vanities were installed at incorrect heights, we specified 900mm above floor level and they were…

I'll ask the SS to confirm. I mean we can live with it but just what we were hoping for. Maybe there's a seal we can coat it with after…

and this is bluestone...

To be honest Steve, not too happy. It's too light and doesn't look like the Bluestone color we selected. Unless they still have to paint a top coat or…

We've got a driveway!! Very surprised to see it was completed, SS advised it was being poured on Tuesday so we weren't expecting to see it finished today.

Would love a contact number if you don't mind Hobbes, we're just arranging quotes now.
No problem at all Steve, I'm very keen to know myself. We're thinking tinting out…

Calvin your rollers look awesome! Definitely no need for pelmets in your situation. We've got a similar colour wall setup as you and we're not sure whether to go dark…

At this point were leaning toward Roman style blinds or double rollers. Definitely looking at using the pelmet too. Gives it a nice neat look.
That's the same reason why we…

Yeah I've alway wondered the same thing with shutter, what happens when you want more light? The display homes with shutters always seem dark. They're also very bulky.

Hoping to get a little input in window coverings options. What are people's opinions on roller blinds (single or double) vs Romans vs plantations in terms of durability and function?…

I did an earlier pre-lining inspection with Houspect but I felt Tyrrells were far more thorough.
Rawson used Tyrrells for their pre-lining inspection and I saw the report, it was…
