Behind Your Build: G. Shaw Painting
-G. Shaw Painting
Behind every beautifully finished home is a team of tradespeople who genuinely care about the detail - and Graham Shaw and his team is exactly that.
G. Shaw Painting have been part of our builds for four years now, and in that time they`ve become one of those trades you know you can count on. No job too big, no job too small - just consistent, high-quality workmanship delivered with a positive attitude every single time.
Recently, their work has been on show at our new Laguna display home in Huntley, and also at the G.J. Gardner Shoalhaven office - two projects where the finish had to be nothing short of excellent. And it was.
What we value most isn`t just the quality of the paintwork - it`s the reliability. When G. Shaw Painting is on the job, we know it`ll be done right, on time, and with care. That`s what makes a trade partner genuinely great to work with.
Twenty-five years of experience. A local team. And a commitment to getting it right every time. We`re proud to have Graham and the team alongside us.
Find them on Facebook, under G. Shaw Painting - or swipe across to find their contact details.
Four offices, one united team ❤️

The Variety Backyard Bash - Heading Off Again!
The car is packed. The route is set. And in just a week, on 9 August, I`ll be climbing back behind the wheel of Delma, my trusty 1979 Statesman, for my TENTH Variety Bash in support of Variety - the Children`s Charity.
For those who missed it previously, the Variety Bash is a six-day driving adventure through regional NSW raising money for kids who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disability. This year`s route takes us from Bella Vista through Mudgee, Dubbo, Griffith, Albury and Cowra, wrapping up in Bathurst on 14 August.
Previous years changed something in me. I`ve seen first-hand the incredible difference Variety makes to children and families doing it tough. Whether it`s mobility equipment, communication devices or specialised support, every dollar raised helps give kids the opportunities they deserve.
Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of people just like you, my teamates "the Sharkies", & I raised more than $66,000. This year, we`re aiming to raise $30,000 before we hit the road on 9 August - and I`d love your help to get us there.
Every dollar raised goes directly to giving those kids a fair go. If you`ve been thinking about contributing, now is the time. And if donating isn`t possible right now, sharing this post costs nothing and means everything - Help me give more kids a fair go ❤️
Donate here - https://fundraise.varietynswact.org.au/fundraisers/seanvickery7736
Thank you, genuinely ❤️
Sean,

Site Update: Ulladulla
Troy & Lucy`s slab is down, which means their build is officially underway in Ulladulla!
They`ve chosen the Bridgewater design with a Hamptons facade, and honestly, the two go hand in hand. Clean lines, classic proportions, and that timeless coastal character that suits Ulladulla perfectly.
From here, the frame goes up and this project will really start to take shape. We can`t wait to see it come to life.
Troy & Lucy, it`s a privilege to be building your home for you. The best is still to come.
If you`re thinking about building on the South Coast and want to see the quality for yourself, come visit us at one of our display homes or get in touch with the team.
Feel the joy building ❤️
