This is what we did. A tile we liked was on sale for $34.00 psm and the regular price was $46.00 psm. We got told the builder will…

I'm not quite sure if this is the same situation, but it sounds similar.
As you can see on the attached pic, for some reason, the developers didn't build our retaining…

In our old house, which was 70's, we renovated the kitchen in rosewood timber with routed edge doors. The house had polished floors throughout and timber french doors leading…

The builder came out to assess the mould.
They said that there is no dampness in the cupboard, the skirting is not swelling so does not indicate water under there and…

Not in the wardrobes. We have underlay throughout the rest of the bedrooms - it appears they skimp when it comes to wardrobes - lol.
Sorry, I meant we have…

We had a problem with an overflowing gutter and it's on the same wall as this wardrobe:

Also, guess what I just realised

I decided to move everything off the floor of the wardrobe and I noticed that a picture I had stored in there has mould all over the back! So…

Mrs P, we rendered the front of our house after handover and then the builders returned to paint it (long story).
The only thing required was the renderers removed the front…

The other side is a brick external wall...
Maybe I should hire someone in to do a moisture detection test???

We've just recently discovered (and by recently I mean in the last week) mould in the wardrobe of our study on the skirting board. The wardrobe rarely gets used…

Do you have Everyday Living near where you guys live?
I just bought this table and chairs from there. The chairs are 100% leather and have a 10 year guarantee…

I had my 6 month maintenance check and pointed out to the SS that none of my 13 internal doors and 2 external doors have been painted top or bottom.

I looooove cs buttermilk . I think its quite new...
I would have used it but we needed depth…

We're looking to get 4 windows tinted across the back of our house. Can anyone recommend someone from Brisbane area?
Also can you get window tinting without the "mirror" effect?…

Yep, this is what the stonemason told our builder when we asked to extend our island from 900mm to 1200mm.
DH redesigned it and we have two supporting cabinets on either…

We have mirrored sliding doors in the minor bedrooms so we choose the same for our linen cupboard.
I think it looks really stylish and reflects light in the hallway.

Natural white is quite a creamy white... IMO, I personally would do grand piano 1/4 for ceiling, walls and skirting.
Good luck!!

My opinion is Walnut Hull behind your TV. This colour seems to look the best with your current furniture and colour scheme throughout your house.
If you particularly want…

We had to source/pay for all our own light fittings through our builder and we got charged $65.00 per light point and that included the actual fitting of any light…

What a fabulous idea!! Never thought of that one. I'll file that away for the next build - lol!

I use a brand called cerapol (available in the supermarket) on my induction cooktop. I then use ceraseal after I've cleaned the cooktop as this is a procter and…

We paid $270 extra through our builder for the upgrade to 3 phase.

Sorry to hear of this nettie.b - building can be very exciting but also very stressful.

This is correct. Before your file is released to construction you will need to…

Hi retreat dreamer
Thanks for posting such lovely compliments
I have to update some more photos soon now that most things are finished!!

Love, love, love it!
All looks fabulous!!

And don't forget floor drain for your laundry too! We only just realised the other day our laundry doesn't have one. Heaven forbid if the washing machine leaks…

Gosh your house has gone up quick!!
Looks great!
