I went to connect the water to my new fridge and was faced with this tap. Never seen one like it before. Can someone explain it to me?

We've recently taken possession of our new build and are currently living through the maintenance period. We are looking at installing some wireless cameras (to supplement the existing camera blind…

We are now only 1 week away from handover! The floor went down last week and we have the pre-handover inspection this week. Handover will pretty much be bang-on the…

The scaffolding came down this week and we got our first look at the house.

We have a void above the entry in our build. It's still at frame stage at the moment so a little hard to picture how successful or otherwise it will…

Appreciate the feedback! Yeah, probably too far along to do much the alfresco area. Will just have to see how it turns out. We'll look to plants to help with…

Been to visit the site a few times - still only frame up but all the rooms and spaces feel smaller than we thought it would. Our project manager said…

So it's been over a year since my last post, but happy to report that demolition commenced today! They demolition team turned up and didn't waste anytime tearing the place…

Thanks for the comments! Some interesting points we hadn't considered and glad that it seems mostly OK.
We might need to rethink some of the west facing windows.
The void…

Hi all.
So we've finally bitten the bullet and decided on a KDR of our old home! It's an exciting time but we're total noobs and have found this forum…

Hi guys. So we're in the (very) early stages of a KDR on narrow block in Canberra. We've been looking for designs that will fit on the block (13.1m wide…
