This is my biggest issue - our home is most certainly not display home quality .....

I wonder if Rawson are becoming victims of their own success...
We had three different site supervisors over the course of our build, the first one was moved on just as…

No, it takes that long for the planning, infrastructure, building, resourcing, budgeting and all the other stuff that goes into a school.

Wow - I didn't realise that it had been so long since I posted ... or blogged!
I'll do a brief summary here and…

Hehe, yeah, we sneaked in and walked around a bit and thought it was all a bit small, but its difficult to get the full picture with no linings on…

So a brief update!
Slab went down in December, about the week before Christmas, and already the frames and trusses are up. The site supervisor tells us that the brickies are…

We haven't needed to do that ... I'm already getting bills from Sydney Water ....
And no, we didn't get to start until the first week of December. We do have…

Thanks!
Funny thing is that we originally went with Surfmist, but we changed it at the colour appointment to Merbau timber-look

Well, we've finally completed all our variations and picked a tile! Rawson sent us the contract on Friday last week so that has been signed and sent back on Tuesday.
Looks…

Congrats!
The hardest part now is making your choices. My suggestion for those that haven't done something like this before is get ideas together before your colour appointment, clippings from magazines…

Still waiting for the results of the soil test, but since we've budgeted for an H class slab I'll be requesting that this is what goes down.

Been a while between updates, I know!
Apart from waiting for the developer to finish building our street, we've just had our colour/interior, electrical and interior tile selection appointments. They were…

Happy I bought in North Kellyville

That seems about the going price for that area ... $940-990 per sq. m

Thanks for the tip regarding the pavers - hadn't heard of them, so will keep them in mind.
Next plans should be arriving either late next week or early the week…

We are still in the pre-build stages. Had the plan presentation last week.

Hi all,
I've mentioned this in other threads ( and ) but thought I'd start my own thread.
As per the title, my wife and I are building the Acacia MkII with…

According to the last newsletter, there are no blocks left.
Stage 4 is planned (no dates yet), but given that there were only 3 lots below 500 in stages 1-3 I…

We've gone the Regal, pretty much unmodified. We are still undecided as to the details as yet (roofing material, bricks etc etc)
