The new graphite sounds like a colour I would definitely like, hopefully going to look at some samples soon.
I was also thinking of a metallic silver splashback, just…

About 3 months ago we did our colour selections and chose:
Benchtops - Quantum Quartz Luna White
Overhead cupboards - Formica Warm White
Base cupboards - Formica Black
Feature shelf inserts - Formica Rock…

Thanks Vid!! Happy new year to you too

We have selected Nougat for our build and I'm looking at our sample brick right now and the 2nd pic (Mist) is definitely closest to that.

I'm just catching up on old threads and have been giggling away reading about your excitement because I know I will be exactly the same way and yep my family…

I think Ikea do some corner drawers like those also?
I can't wait to see the top on your kitchen bench as we have a similar colour top with darker cupboards…

We only have one house in our street so far and yep it's cream with a black roof! Thankfully, we had chosen darker colours with a lighter roof...but what…

Ouch, Chuq that sounds like a horrible experience. I think I shall live and learn from your experience and ensure the developers pay half for the fencing straight up!
Bloody…

Wow! 10 years is a long time to still have empty blocks. Thanks for the heads up though, will follow up on fencing with the developers and see…

Would love to hear more about your fencing issues. We have also assumed that the buyers of the vacant blocks will pay half, but haven't considered what would happen…

It will be interesting to see some other replies in this thread. We are also building in a new estate, with only 6 of the 25 blocks being sold…

$219,000 for 1200m in McLaren Flat, south of Adelaide - smack bang in the middle of wine country

We looked in McLaren Flat a few years ago too! We are buiding in behind the wetlands on the other side of the main road to where those houses…

Hi All
Great thread - was cool reading about people building right near where we currently live (Moana). Tamsin - we were driving around near your place just this…
