Can some of you please tell me how the capping tiles on the roof sit? The one's that are on the roof ridges...
Our verandah guy was telling us today that…

We had no price increases either. First approached M in March last year, signed plans in May, construction started July and we have PCI next week.... Only single storey though…

We used Gabrael for our demolition too. We thought they were OK. As per Redwynne, the job was fine but they did drag their feet a bit... My husband had…

Beverley Hills, Narwee, Kingsgrove.... We're in Peakhurst!

I know this has been covered, but I'm being lazy...
We theoretically have our "first walk through" scheduled for the 18th of March. I presume this is what is classified as…

Martins Harmony - we are building single storey and like Gilly, we upgraded our AC but not quite as much. We split the house into 3 zones (bed 1 and…

So funny Gibson!
Don't get me started on storm water!
On a separate note, does anyone know if we are responsible for paying the water bill during construction or are Mastertons?
We've…

For a laugh... This is not our house, but another Mastertons build I happened to walk past yesterday whilst out with the baby....
It's…

Just a couple of quick questions if possible?
Our outdoor taps don't seem to have drains under them... Is this normal? I assumed there would be drains underneath them which connected…

We went for the Essenza. Chose them just before they were officially released into the Yes promotion. The lady at Dons was actually nice enough to give them too us…

We're building straight forward single storey and our bricks were laid within a week....
Despite acquiring our fourth SS last week (the second and third one's only lasted a couple of…

In other news I gave birth to a baby girl on the 11/11...
4kg so not as big as your boy Michelle, but…

Our build is progressing so quickly that we have miner birds nesting in the sarking under the roof in our "laundry"...
But I do agree…

So yet again Redwynne we find out from you that we have yet another SS! No one tells us anything! Didn't even meet the interim one! It was our CC…

Redwynne,
We do have the same CC...
My husband emailed her last Friday and then again on Monday after we'd had no real response to our email from last Tuesday…

Gibson, not sure if this is any use, but maybe worth a call/email...
We used a tree guy called Mark. MTS - Mark's tree services. We are over the other side…

Heavens above Redwynne, they haven't told us that!
We emailed our CC on Tuesday about the water connection, our unresolved storm water issues plus asking for a general update as…

I agree Bleaky, should be grateful they came at all.... But then it was probably only because they've been using our new neighbours water FOC the last few weeks and…

And as for our progress, we have frames, windows and roof trusses. They have done about 1 days work a week for the last few weeks.... Sounds normal.
This week…

Michelle, I think you also have to do all the bank stuff... Even though we had everything preapproved at the bank and council only took 3 weeks (CDC) it was…

Marina, We paid a bit extra at our colours appt to get our internal doors, skirting and architraves painted white... I think others have too. So suspect Shell did too?…

Redwynne,
I did receive your email. Thanks! Sorry to not reply, but we've actually been on holiday for the past week with only the iPad and can't yet open the link.
We're…

We're building a Crystal Mk4 and our contract is 130 days.... Started a couple of weeks ago. But the house is only 220 square metres.... 225 days seems ridiculous though.…

MartinsHarmony - I can't help you with floor pictures as we haven't had ours laid yet, however bear in mind there's another brand called "Essenza" at the tile shop that…

So.... Our build officially started last week.
Day 1: They found a buried tree stump in the "garage" so charged us a variation fee of $1000 to remove it...
Day 2: Whilst…

Mind you, I'm now jealous of you Michelle, because you've only got 1 week to go.... I've still got 11 weeks to go which feels like forever!
I hope you get…

Can I join the party?! Can't drink, dammit, but being pregnant would make me an excellent designated driver! Given most of us currently have no houses in which to hold…

Redwynne - can I ask you to PM me your SS's name? I think I need to get us prepared for a long and arduous process now, rather than later…

smb, we got our CDC approval mid June and only went into the 20 day countdown at the end of last week.... No work yet.
After approval they then produce new…

Hi Spikes Place. Did you end up putting your rainwater tank on the side instead of the back? We just received our plans and M has placed the tank at…
