Get a gooseneck tap for the laundry for sure.
The place is looking fabulous. I love the Chifley bathroom layout. We stole that design for our ensuite in the Edge!
The continual…

Minor update. We have a DA in for a shed (large shed . . . ) and then we can finally finish the landscaping out the back. In the meantime…

Any updates since the move?

Love this! And you’re right. It’s never truely finished is it?
We changed up our main bedroom in the Edge so it didn’t have the bathroom behind it. We’re yet to…

All I can say is if you’re happy with a change in floors (it’s clearly different) I’d let it go. It would be a massive delay getting it fixed. The…

Love the bathroom tile choices. The Chifley en-suite is the best!

Good. It’s about time the building industry addressed its safety standards and recognised the silicosis issue in a similar way mining needed to deal with black lung.

Fences are now in and I feel like we’re looking at a finished product
Still some landscaping work to be done out the back, but at least from the front…

I’m super jelly of that fireplace!!!
Looks great

Oooo nice. The one thing we didn’t end up getting. I’m sure we’ll regret it come winter!

Great to see some progress!

Haha of course it is!
Fair enough. I tried to give our SS the opportunity to fix things in the first instance too. It’s only fair and they do have a…

Mate, you’ve probably done this already but start contacting the big wigs/office managers etc. I did that when it came to crunch time and we needed to move into the…

We used Urban One Silver bricks and I haven’t noticed any fading or significant chipping issues. We’ve been in our house for 6 months.

do you know which ones?

For sure. Let me know if you want my guy’s details. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat.

The turf or the landscaping generally? The answer to both is someone else. It would have taken us far too long to achieve this otherwise. We were happy to do…

I’d always raise problems as you see them as opposed to waiting until later when it might be too late or fixing it would impact on something else.
Almost all the…

Turf is down. It makes such a difference.

Landscaping update. Plants are in! Turf is coming next week which should finish it off nicely.
This is just the front and sides of the house. The backyard is a…

Landscaping update. Retaining walls and drainage pits complete! Pebbles, pathways, gardens and turf coming in January!
I can already see the effect of the drainage works. Even with heavy rain the…

Awesome! Those ladders always freaked me out. Lovely view from the top

Do you have a frame yet?

This. All of the more major issues we encountered were to do with upgrades and changes to the standard inclusions.

Yes we were shocked. We decided to go with the display home upgrade (monostring Vic ash stairs) and from memory it was quoted on the upgrade list as around $18K.…

FYI our carpet is called Hollywood Nights. Like Salfield we didn’t upgrade the carpet or underlay as we will have young kids on it in the next few years and…

We were told that we could choose anything from Winning Appliances as they were their supplier. Sounds like this has changed since we made our selections. Bugger.

Landscaping began yesterday. Currently just sorting out the drainage and retaining walls before we think too much about turf and plants. Need time to save up some cash for that…

Awesome news!
It starts . . .

In the special conditions section of the contract it states Rawson only need to notify the rain days at the completion, so yes it makes it very difficult to know…
