You pay for quality unfortunately with most things in the building game. 
We could have saved $300k if we went with a cheaper builder... would have taken double the time and be built from far less quality materials and have a pretty lame level of finish. 
 

Get what you pay for, glad it worked out in the end!

Left side is mums side - if she could open the windows there's a chance she could get out - no one wants that

1 hour ago, Admin (as if) said:

how come the left house windows above the front door up the top look different fluff? my ocd is going offf


It did my head in too.... but rest assured there’s plantation shutters going on them so you won’t notice. 
 

it’s because they don’t open as they’re at the top of an open full height void. 
 

Rab is also right 🤣

Long weekend.... not for my gyprock and insulation guys! 😆

Sunday saw the internal wall insulation fit out. 
Monday public holiday here and the gyprock guys made a solid start today finishing the first fix on the top level of house 1. 
 

Upstairs first fix linings:

Did some paint sampling also:

- Top Grey is the colour of the other house (Solver Morning Grey)

- Mid Grey is the wall colour (Solver Georgian Grey) 

- Bottom Blue is the main wall in the boys bedrooms (Dulux Blue Accolade)

- 8 4K CCTV Cameras 

- All TV areas (including bedrooms) 

- Front door for doorbell system and fob entry
