The height of my fence was also too short. I contacted the estate today and the fencing contractor is going to come fix it up at a later date.
A lot…

The fencing contractor is an interesting character. He was 2 weeks late in doing our fence, left concrete stains all over our rear paving and 5 weeks later he still…

One of the quotes I have from a few months back was a 3.2KW system for $5,500. So I think your price is about right, especially given that the…

That's how it's intended to work. The supplier claims the credits, not the consumer. I've spoken to several solar panel companies who said they will probably try and…

From what I understand they decided to withdraw them 6 months early. You only get the credit if you had them installed by Dec 31st.

I think I worded it badly. I was never sealing the ceilings.
A mate that works for Dulux just got back to me about it, and he advised me to…

Our ceilings are being painted (sprayed) in the house next week, roughly 2 weeks after the plasterers finished doing the walls. It's inevitable that the over spray will carry…

I'm pretty sure the eaves are made from hardy board, not gyprock, so there's nothing to be concerned about. It's a material that's intended for out door weather.

A quick update with NBN in Parkland Heights. I received a letter from them today, and called to register for updates and get more details. At this stage, only stage…

Yeah they are at roughly the same stage. Stage 2 is right across the road, so I guess we will have to deal with that kind of thing for a…

I'm with you on that one. I wouldn't know what to do with myself with no phone and Internet. Even mobile phone reception there is quite *******.
One of the new…

These delays can be a blessing in some ways. Stage 1 residents have no phone or Internet hooked up yet and it's not expected until March.

Apparently it's about 8 weeks after the tiler, allowing for 3 additional weeks over Xmas.

I hope you're right, because you have been waiting long enough as it is. But I don't think he would have said it was affecting all their new builds…

I think this kind of thing has been standard with other councils for a very long time. Here's a quote from Fairfield City Council in NSW (from Google).
Talk to…

Unfortunately there may be some other delays ahead Donna. Our building supervisor recently mentioned there was recently some changes with Rockingham Council building approvals taking much longer than they…

I noticed that on your site. Congrats!

How far into the build are you?

You can view the solver paints exterior colours .

Ice Volcano and Turkish Coffee.

They levelled out the block last week and did the plumbing ready for the slab today. So we're happy that things are finally under way.

Ours is micro in comparison, we're building on a tiny 360m2 block. Your back yard will probably be bigger than our entire house.

At this rate I think we'll probably know half the suburb before we even move in.

It was based on the Australis in the Big Australian Range. But we made a lot of changes, so it doesn't really resemble that now. We moved the…

We shopped around with about 5-6 builders, and New Generation Homes offered us the best value for money. Our contract ended up about 20k cheaper than the nearest competitor…

I just discovered this site yesterday. I'm currently building with New Generation Homes in Parkland Heights. I'm keen to see what your experience is like with New Gen.
