Natlyn, bought solar panels a while back from company in Orange....just so I could get full rebate! Panels etc are stacked in my garage waiting to be installed.
Centralwest1...where are you…

I am building in Parkes. The reason I elected to install solar etc after handover was financial. Quotes from the builder were about double what I could have them done…

Centralwest1...I asked if I could have my own plumber (son in law) and was told they would look into it, but they didn't even ring his company. All other…

Skiddles, I am in Parkes.
Interesting the talk about paint! My colour selection also states ENDURE paint. I guess when the painters are in, we need to check what they are…

Skiddles, yes I will have S too. I haven't met him yet, but pleased to hear that he is approachable! Are you building in Orange?

Hi Skiddles, I too am building in CWest. Am on day 7/28-no action as yet! I am building verdelloguest. Does your site supervisor come from Orange?

One wonders!! I'll join you on the fence... You bring the snacks, I'll bring the bubbles!

I was going great guns, but snail mail has held me up. The consent for BW to commence construction was mailed to me last Wednesday and still hasn't arrived!! And…

Contracts signed today and will be posted back tomorrow to BH. Am still hoping for a start before Christmas, however we are cutting it fine!
