Congrats JM, finally at the finished line.
Enjoy your home.

Nice driveway MandM+4. Next stop landscaping.

Ours don't actually have a handle or a lock. It's being kept shut using magnets.
Usually I just pull the frame to open it.

They are all just stickers, so easily comes off if you dont want them.

Oh yes, that's standard.

Sorry what safety markers are you referring to?

Was thinking about doing it myself but ended up getting a landscaper to do both front and back. If i was doing it, might not finished until next year.

Hello All,
Been awhile since I have dropped by.
Grats everyone on your process and nice blog asj1981.
Just thought I'll post some photo's of our…

Hi aaron2008 this is exposed aggregate, think it was Holcim mix.
We got it done by a local concreter for $10k.

Here you go Cs199, this is our Manhattan with Savannah facade with roof.

For downlight provision, they will cut the hole, run the wiring and terminate each downlight hole with a 3-pin socket. You'll need to buy the downlight with the normal power…

It really depends on the build..
We got an inspector and few things were picked up that was non-compliant.
eg;
Balcony weep holes were covered or not cut enough by tilers.
Door frame…

Grats chinoandbebe. Hope everything goes smoothly.

shouldnt matter cause you'll still get a NTD box which you then connects a modem to.

We left the NTD in the garage but requested for the data and telephone to be ran from there to the down stairs linen cupboard.
Little messy right now as these…

My go to hi fi store is Eastwood Hifi (they are in Dural now), so drop in and demo some speakers.
Pretty good prices and friendly bunch of guys.
My HT is…

The controller is like a central hub so only need one.
You then buy ZWave compatible modules like dimmers, which you install one per light switch and it connects back to…

I will be doing this at some point but didn't do it via Wisdom.
Plan on getting a ZWave controller and dimmers so I can easily control things around the house.

It's just a standard 3 in 1 heat/fan/light.

Usually bathroom vents just go straight in the roof space i think.

Driveway and crossover $10500.

Yes this is exposed aggregate Holcim mix (i think).
We originally wanted Boral salt and pepper mix but didn't want the yellow rocks that it has in there. Our concreter recommended…

Our fresh driveway. Still requires sealing and cross over to be done this week.

WoW grats on the progress everyone.
Been off in Japan for 2 weeks to get away from winter, so many updates to go through. Will need to go through and read…

Not sure how I'm supposed to run our washing machine water inlet to connectors above the shelve.
Make sure they cut a hole for you to feed the water inlet hose…

Grats Ajay. Hope it all goes well.

Just curious, with your shower niche is it kind of sloping downwards a bit?
Ours is not flat and a little slope. Not sure if that's by design or not.

Congrats MandM+4. Hopefully you can enjoy your house now.
Are you moving in straight away?

Think it was $70 or $75 for down lights provisioned.
There's a few place you can get down lights, just have to shop around.
These are my lights.

Just buy down lights which has the transformer…
