Hi kopite,
We're thinking of screeding the whole house as well. Did you get MJH to screed your house or you got your own guys to do it?
When you say…

Hey cjamum, Yes, we had the same issues with the door heights and I needed to knock roughly 10-12mm off every door! (not including bathroom and laundry, as already done…

Hey, If you want the same height flooring throughout (including living, beds, media etc) then you will need to ‘screed’… not sure what ‘pouring slurry’ is but what MJH does…

The Derby is fine… mines been running for nearly 2 years, use it 24/7, and pumps well in 40+ days. Paid 5k for it as well. money well spent.

and yep we had to plain 10mm or so off our doors... a lot of fiddly work but worth it imo

hey cjamum, we didn’t ‘need’ screeding but opted for it just in case there were any undulations in the slab which the tilers could blame for a tile not being…

Did they offer a darker coloured garage door (to match the front door), or was that the darkest 'stain look' garage door they had?

They repaired and painted all the little cracks that we had in our cornices and architraves… but the house moves etc, so it’ll happen again somewhere else in the house!…

Absolutely!.... but not right at this moment! lol…
still got a while to go but looking forward to box hill coming out

correct... more like sound 'resistant'

lol unfortunately their ‘soundproofing’ doesn't work that well.. also we've got lin 1 doors on our HT and makes no difference... Great sound when you’re inside but just shocking outside……

For an ideal finish, skirting boards would be installed after, irrespective of the type of flooring, whether it be floating or tiling… when tiling, it is very common (outside…

If you’re looking at setting up a typical “home theatre room” and having the whole surround sound setup etc, then your best bet would be to run only ONE HDMI…

I think you’ll find that most fridges these days DO come with the connection for the water and ice service... the manual fills are a thing of the past I…

We asked mjh to leave the skirtings off as well. we screeded the whole house, tiled the main areas, then installed the skirting ourselves (sitting on top of…

We built the Havana as well and put a double power point on the island bench… however, we chose to have waterfall edges run down the side of the island,…

You dont need to know a sparky to save a bit of dollars... we just spoke to the sparky's that were doing our place during the build and asked them…

In relation to the Derby system;
Before moving in to our place, my parents had an actron unit for many years, which cost them 12k from memory… they made sure to…

Well done with the deck mate, looks great - we just finished ours as well! saved us a few quid doing it ourselves but was well worth it and rewarding!
we're…

No real issue with installing down lights in the eaves after handover with a colorbond roof. We had 4 installed after handover… they just ran a snake from…

you could always screed the bedrooms and study before you lay the carpets....?

Hi agitator, had a look at the tiling on your blog and from what I can see it is looking really good!
My inlaws will be building with mjh as…

yeah i know, they couldnt pronounce anemone properly as well (they're 'off the boat'!) lol
they still have a long way to go, they've only just paid the deposit with mcdonald…

hi Ricaaaa, Physically the street sign says anemone street, but its actually Ginger street. There is an issue with the council over the street name, not sure why…

Have had no signs or mice or rats either..

cant smell nothin from my end...

Hi All,
Hi All,
Well we are jumping back on the ‘building band wagon’ with MJH again! Although this time, not for our own home.
We have been given the assignment to…
