We're building a new pool and the first thing we did before work started on site was discuss the finished height so the excavation could be done correctly.
Here we are…

Our tiles plans also specified that they would not necessarily line up (I think the requirement for grout line width is maybe different for wall and floor) but our tiler…

Couldn't speak highly enough of them! The installers were just fantastic - very professional and very particular. The product is excellent, the service was great and the price was better…

It wasn't that much! Less than $5k

Thank you! Sorry for the double post - I was having a little trouble with the app this morning.
We agreed on the design way back in October and it was…

Our dining table finally arrived this morning

That's us officially done with downstairs furniture now. Our cabinetmaker arrives tomorrow to fit out our under stairs cupboard and then downstairs is completely…

Overall, yes we are. We've had a few tradie friends and a guy who's a builder specialising in insurance assessments through the house since we've moved in and they've generally…

I thought for sure you'd be in by now. It'll be two months on Thursday since we got our keys and you were only just behind us during the build.…

I love #1 but it depends on the other furniture in the room

Our first SS gave us a weekly update without fail. Second SS was a little more patchy and sometimes needed a nudge but did a better job overall so we…

That's pretty bad! Surely the only solution can be to take off those roof tiles and move the flashing down. How do these things happen without anyone noticing??

The kitchen design was pretty lacklustre, to be honest. I'd suggest going in with a very good idea of what you want because you probably won't get much guidance.
With…

We never got a list, sorry. If we knew we wanted to upgrade something, we asked about options at the appointment.

About five months for us.

We've gone to Fair Trading and they're trying to get at least some of our money back but we'll end up a few grand out of pocket in the best…

It all looks good! Love the clock and the daybed for your daughter's room.
We thought we were okay for budget because we had saved and allowed for everything. Turns…

Yeah. Got a little carried away on that one.

It's called the Diva and it's from Designer Rugs in Leichhardt. 4 month lead time as it's hand knotted in Nepal. Can't recall exact cost, around $6,500 I think.

With this company you can only add the motor later if it was one of their blinds to start with. The tubes are sized to fit the motors.

Thanks Orph. We seriously busted the budget on that rug!

Also, excuse the outdoor chairs inside - it's SO dusty outside till we landscape. The table is also our outdoor table. The real dining table is being made.

They have different motorised options - rechargeable lithium (which we chose for most of ours - charge only 1-2 times per year), wired motor which requires an electrician, or…

I'll try to grab some.

If anyone is looking for blinds, I can highly, highly recommend No Bull Blinds. Of all the kazillions of trades and installers and delivery people who've been through our doors…

We've been in coming up to four weeks now and it's definitely feeling like home.
There are still quite a few things outstanding on Rawson's side, including a few that…

Looking good! Close to the finish line now.

It definitely was cheaper for us to get fans, downlights, outdoor lighting and 'special' lights done post-handover. We saved at least $2k plus we got to choose whatever we…

Oh great - I hope you didn't get it 50 times, I kept getting a message that it hadn't sent!
Thanks!

Hi @leelee116
I tried to PM you but I keep getting an error message - could you try to PM me maybe? Wanted to ask about your hubby's landscaping services
