Thanks. Yeah it surprised me that it wasn't done better, as the rest of our house is actually done to a decent standard. Especially as it's meant to be a…

Hi
We've got a Corinthian PIVOT INFWS 8G door installed at our new house which was finished last year.

Just had…

Thanks for the replies.
I'll see what the builder's response is.

Just looking for some advice on a decorative timber pergola that is part of the front facade of our new home.
It's made with spotted gum timber and it has been…

I'd have to agree with Jimbo. We're building a Windermere 35 in Sydney with Rawson and I've been pretty unimpressed with the standard of quality. We've built before with clarendon…

Here's what ours looked like a few months back. You can see a slight difference (top looks lighter than bottom bricks).
Over time now it does not look as noticeable. We…

Looking good.
Wow you get weekly updates from Mitch! You we're lucky to get a call every couple of weeks...
In regards to the brick colour, in my opinion it doesn't look…

Nice one, bet you couldn't stop stairing (apologies for lame pun).
Did you upgrade the timber of the first 3 steps? Looks like they've got a protective mdf stuck over them.…

Ours took less than a week I think.
If it's the same carpenter/builder that did ours I think you'll be happy.
The workmanship of our stairs seems pretty good and I couldn't…

Looks like we might be finished a little earlier then, maybe early November.
Our stairs and kitchen are already in. The glass splash back is not done yet though.

Sounds like good advice. Not like I get angry and go off at them, I try to stay professional and reasonable with them all the time if only to not…

Thanks guys. Its a weight off my shoulders now that it has been resolved.
Here are more photos if people want to have a look. I'm sure there will be plenty…

Mitch is good and seems honest. I think it's a tough job, I went through our house with him the other week and his phone went off non-stop. It was…

Hey Red15.
We're also building with Rawson just nearby in Winston Hills. You commented on my post about my bricks a so I thought I'd check out your blog.
Sounds like we've…

**UPDATE**
We had the Nawkaw brick staining done today and I'm really impressed with the result.
I dare say that you can't notice anything amiss at all. My eye is still drawn…

I don't have any advice but every time I look at your bricks i have brick envy. I really wanted concord bricks however they where a 3k upgrade. Despite the…

First of all thanks so much for replying guys.
This house building business is stressful...
As suggested by MJT, I gave PGH a call and spoke to one of their customer service…

Hi,
We're currently building with Rawson Homes (Windermere 35). We have built once before so we have a little experience on the subject but we are by no means experts.
So far,…
