Yes.. let's just hope it doesn't happen again. The SS hasn't bothered responding and the CSR said that they can't do anything and not really their problem. I think it…

Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since we've contributed here.. but I have a concern and wanting to know how to address it please.
Over the weekend…

Hi Karry327, this also happened to us and delayed everything for us. From what I know, if the land hasn't been registered yet, then technically you don't own it yet…

Ok very random but did anyone watch Insight on SBS last night? One of the regular audience members they have on lately is from the Ponds.

Me too Chasey. Our builder has another job in Teague with frame going up at the moment so I am checking out the workmanship as they are doing mine next.…

Hi Saville27, yup have asked the question but haven't heard back.. though I'm not surprised. They must be super stretched at the moment with so many builds!

Hi everyone! Haven't posted in a while but pleased to announce there has been some progress (though we didn't know it!). Had no idea that work had already started on…

Thanks Reddy, their uncertainty about the whole thing is concerning though!!
