Hi all, haven't been on the forum for quite a while and things have been progressing well. We've been at lockup for a month or so and things start and…

Congrats Fifi! So happy for you.
We'll see you Sunday hopefully!

We're with CBA and we had no trouble with the valuation - we were worried bc we knew from here that there had been issues, but we didn't experience any…

Just got our email from the builder to let us know our house is at lock-up - well it's not quite but almost there by my accounts! Wow! The foundations…

So excited for you Fifi...not long now!!!

Congratulations Bel - I have noticed your car most days on my drive-bys and I'm so happy that you are settling in well. Fingers crossed that your concreter will arrive…

Congrats MW! Now comes the fun part!

We're building with W@@d*m and as infocus said, it's all poured together. We even had the alfresco slab poured at the same time as it was an offer when we…

Hi kballa - we weren't charged for an extra concrete pump specifcally, but we were charged extra overall for the dorp edge as well as an additional step-up midway through…

So excited for you! You will be in well and truly for Halloween! Trick or treating aplenty!

That's such great news infocus, I think you're right - the building part is so much more fun than the waiting part! Much like you and MW and lots of…

Thanks for the condolences about re-selecting everyone..went to Revesby and chose a few possibilities then asked which of those they had available...Fossil which I really liked and was v similar…

Got the dreaded phone call from SS today... I'm afraid that your Axinite brick is not available - they are coming out of the kilm in two shades... what other…

Soooo good Bel,
House looks great and the fence is looking good too. It's hard to move with little ones but you'll get there in the end!

Hi all...haven't been on for a while. I contacted NBN about the optical fibres for down our way (Honeymyrtle) as I assume that Telstra haven't put copper in there yet…

Hi Bel1 - as it's school holidays I have been able to go past GF each day and there is always people at your place - we're Lot 2452, with…

They said that it was far too low a risk for any fire protection being required. Having said that, we will be having most of the requirements installed anyway because…

Hi Nelly_T - we are in Honeymyrtle and had an allowance of $10,000 in our quotation for fire but nothing was required. I lurved that credit variation. Nice to see…

Hi Pawer - some advice from our experience so far....We were tossing up between an EBH and a W*****m and finally decided on the W home as it suited our…

Congrats can't wait. We too were very excited to see a temporary fence around where our slab will be. Mind you, we made our largest payment last Tuesday to get…

Hi House Jack Built - I've also heard that Revesby is good for swimming lessons. My kids also go to Hurstville ATM so I am looking around too.

Wow Waynee....you're house is looking great. You obviously have excellent taste in mosaics - we used exactly the same when we renovated our old house about three years ago. They…

MnM- We did same and we're granted an extra three months but we didn't have to supply any documentation from the builder - our solicitor's letter stating delays with Builder…

Fifi I think your suggestions are great - a coordinated effort with a proforma letter is a good way to make sure we stick to the facts. I have started…

Hi all - the fire is still in the belly and I will be writing, emailing etc whoever I can to fight the good fight BUT recently had a death…

MnM - I didn't receive a letter. We haven't got a slab yet so I presume they just did a drop off rather than get everyone's address from Council.
Maxie-…

I can't believe this new recycling proposal! The existing one (Benedicts) was recently on Today Tonight or one of those shows with residents complaining about the dust that goes over…

Congrats mish. So excited for you. It looks like it's clearing a bit now so piering on Tues should be OK (I hope for you!). We'll be at GF today…

Good luck M&M. I hated open houses. We had ours over six weeks through Christmas every Saturday and then the agent dragged people through every other day as well. Sooo…

Hi all - we're in the lowest rated Bushfire Zone (Honeymyrtle) but they have apparently done way with the levels of rating and just class affected as prone or not.…
