So walk through with SS was pretty good (not that I have anything to compare it to lol. I came in with my own PCI checklist and he also had…

No the driveway wasn't shown on the plans at all so not sure if there's much we can do about that now? Would it be worth saying anything to have…

Hi all, we are booked in for walk through on Wednesday 31st Aug! ?
Hoping for moving weekend to be the 10th Sept so we can get settled in before my…

Woohoo Ezza! Our SS told us next Friday for our walk through (not locked in yet though) and hopefully handover after any issues fixed up too!
Just curious if by…

Love the mosaic tiles too! Had a look at your blog and also wish we were that adventurous with the colours as you are. Most of our house is monochromes…

Anyone started packing their current house yet?
Plumber was in yesterday putting in all the fittings to our bathrooms and kitchen. Sounds like a lot of things to happen this…

Well looks like we are tracking similar to everyone else. Painter has finished the walls and doors and just has to stain some of our wooden doors.
They've also started…

Hi, we're building the Metford 33 in Central West NSW and just trying to get an idea of how long the build will take to complete? We are up to…

Wow looks great Ezza33!
Our house nearly didn't end up with those brick piers at the bottom of each pillar as it wasn't in our original tender and we didn't…

Our house is confusing us as it's flipped to the display that we are so used to! Walking down the hall and turning right for the kitchen will definitely take…

Hi all we have had frames up and sarking (I think it's called- the green plastic stuff) done this week too. Cedar work put in the front porch as well.…

It was discussed soon as it came out of council as it was a council condition of approval. But that was end of last year so it was kind of…

Hi guys so we have site cut completed. Just needed to confirm with site manager who we met for the first time yesterday at the block (and is my husband's…

Hi Ezza33, we are waiting on everything to be started by end of this month. Local Rawsons office doesn't reopen until Monday and then shortly after the tradies will start…

Thanks for that, when would I get the insurance certificate? Does that come with the final compliance plans?

Hi Ezza33, for the study we ended up going double doors but with horizontal glass paneling like our front door and sliding doors to our lounge.
Also we…

Hi no I don't think we did. We are in Country NSW so I think Rawsons work differently to city areas for some reason.

We got our variations back bar the garage door quote. We are only $312 over as we took out a lot of downlights and getting rawsons to only do some…

Hey (I'm alive lol), sorry no updates in a long while. Everytime I go to sit down and write something is always get distracted by hubby or my toddler.
We…

Hi can anyone tell me when house numbers are allocated? Our land just got registered a few weeks ago and settlement was yesterday.

I like your plan too, are you planning to use the area outside bed 4 and study as a courtyard like the display has? Can't tell if there is a…

So last night hubby called me (as he's away for work atm) to tell me the good news, that our construction loan was approved and we could start the process…

So update on our finance...
Our broker only got us to sign land loan docs last Thursday when settlement was on Friday! So the loan docs weren't processed in Sydney…

Wow, having a study with a door will definitely be a nice change for you then lol.
Yes well we thought the lounge could be our children's playroom later too…

Oh cool Ezza, glad we're not the only ones! We also have sliding doors in the lounge too so hubby was just a bit worried we were closing off everything…

Surely it would have to be done by June, especially if you aren't making many major changes to the standard plan.
The builder was Brett Harvey. That display home is just…

CG, think I may have won with the study door war with hubby! we drove past the old Metford display on the weekend and I happened to say aloud…

We have been told 4 months to actually build the Metford 33 but I don't think that includes all the prework and then the handover process. We are hoping to…

Wow can't believe $10k to increase ceiling and doors thanks for confirming those details.
I wonder how much increasing to just 2600mm would be.
Have you been given an indication of…

Thanks Ezza33, I can't quite remember the cost to increase to the 2750mm height as per the display but I do remember it was significant.
Also hubby would want to…
