Sorry to hear about the breakin Kelvin.
Hopefully the rest of the lots get developed soon so that things like that don't occur.

It sure is! Whenever we visit we don't really see anyone around. But we'll try to keep an eye out for you.

Let us know how it goes.
Does anyone know if stockland/council are going to do anything about the bridge that has water issues? (the one that floods when it rains)
How often do you visit your site?
We live about 15 mins away and visit at least a couple times a week. It's important to visit - our works stopped for about a month and as there…

Nothing wrong with paying a little more for electricals. We found our electrical lady was very helpful, practical and not pushy. Plus the cost of upgrading the electricals wasn't that…

I can't wait…

Half the frame went up earlier this week. Hopefully there isn't too much rain, and the rest of it will go up this week!
