Coming along really well.

Thanks mate.

Yeah had it quoted and it was just too high. Saved over $4500 by doing it ourselves. Had a lot of help from Dad which made it easier. Really happy…

Any update Meagan?

Yeah the back yard space has come up very well. The two grasses we have used blend very well and joining them on the slope has hidden the obvious change.…

So here is a major update! Deck (top) is just about done. One length short as I did it without joins. Struggled to get 4.5m or more merbeau but looks…

Hey All,
Been reading here for quite a while and my wife and I (married in December) have decided to make the move and build our first home.
We've found a 1100sqm…

Back after weekends of work and golf! Deck is underway. Stumps and bearers are in, joists will be in this week followed by decking this weekend I hope. Really happy…

Just dropped in to see how you are progressing, looks excellent mate!

Yep he was and did a great job.
Turf much easier than seed! If I could have afforded the extra few 1000 I would have turfed the lot but just didnt…

Great progress!
Definitely worth having a chat with the SS. May be a cause of thats just how it is but it never hurts to ask.

Yeah really well thanks DrNick. Apologies to all for not posting much. Between work and home there hasn't been much time for anything else.
Deck is underway. Have excavated the area,…

No turfed approximately 200m2, theres a further 300m2 that we are going to seed with a similar variety. Its a large area hard to turf and manage so much

Thanks Lucinda, we decided to do both purely as fences, no gates, simply because the hot water service means I cant get a barrow down that side anyway.

Any more photos mate?

So just by way of an update guys...
The garage floor is being levelled and resealed today. An issue we had during the build but its being fixed now none the…

I'm not so much against the idea of roll out turf, simply for us it comes down to cost blow outs in other areas and doing the additional 400m2 in…

Nothing worse than a neighbour who is unresponsive about fencing etc.

While I get that its probably the best option I dont know if its one I really have. As they're over two individual levels (1m drop) I'm not too fussed…

Hey all,
We're laying 175m2 of santa anna couch this week around our new home. Our block is very large and the back 1/3rd we want to seed instead of turfing.
Is…

From a local business in Warragul, Frames and Mirrors on Smith. Really well finished.
The theatre room colour is Taubmans Invincible. I think it is about $120 per wall to have…

To be honest I like it more without it. I would probably consider the velux skylights if we did it again, but I think they were like $4,000 anyway so…

Ok so heres some updated photos. I know theres still some moving boxes floating around etc but these give a better idea of how we are going.
Entry way - large…

Thanks Stayxtrue. Big back yard just kind of happened when we found the block at the rediculously low price we did so it was a happy coincidence.
Floor is now completely…

hahah same bricks as us?! Austral Chestnut I think they were. Looking good

Thanks upsizetime! Second part of the crossover meant to be poured today but it might be too wet here... concreter coming back sunday to acid wash and seal the driveway…

We've had a friend of my dads doing it. Not sure what normally it would be, but its $5,500 for the agg section and $500ish for a second crossover (creating…
