Browse Forums Building A New House Re: leebuild - finance approved 21Feb 18, 2010 12:54 pm It looks gorgeous. Congrats. I would probably move Bedroom 4s window and either put it the alfresco side for a nice view out or double doors if its not a little kids room.

Im hoping this winter will be kind so we can get lots of progress fast it only been 6 months since we first signed even a tap would be something Re: leebuild - prestart done 29Apr 15, 2010 12:43 pm Hey Lee we were in contact with our prestart lady between prestart and our drawings being complete as opposed to our contracts administrator not sure if it is supposed to happen that way but when we asked her to push she was very happy to try and help. In our case as soon as we signed the drawings and sent them back within the next week we had a tap not sure if it was just well timed or if it is that once the file goes to the construction department they put in the request but it was very nice to see it on our block after soo long. Hope things speed up for you soon.

It was a front loader which i really didnt like, especially with 2 kids. I know now they have more water efficient top loaders does anyone know of a great machine any recommendations greatfully appreciated Re: leebuild - washing machine packed it in 31Apr 18, 2010 10:33 am well yesterday was a full on day with a 4 year old bday party, the boys went crazy with all that junk food . then we had to go get a washing mashine with screaming kids. Now have a top loader lg 9.5kg and trying it out now. We did have a front loader but it took forever and couldnt put that last sock you found in after starting. I also went to myer and very prematurely brought 2 soap despensers and toothbrush holders (only because they were 30% off and match the licaurice linea cupboards) Think hubby thinks im crazy since we havent started building yet Re: leebuild - washing machine packed it in 32Apr 21, 2010 12:59 pm I keep having to remind myself to hold off buying things for the house its frustrating just no where to store any of it at least toothbrush holders wont take up much space for you Lee INFINITI - COMMODORE HOMES NEWHAVEN ESTATE - PIARA WATERS land settled-13.01.2010 Prestart-08.03.2010 Siteworks-20.04.2010 Slab-12.05.2010 Bricks- 11.06.2010 untill 30.06.2010 Roof- Completed on the 06.08.2010 Lockup- 20.08.2010 PCI - 01.10.2010 Handover Completed - 15.10.2010 Re: leebuild - washing machine packed it in 33Apr 21, 2010 1:38 pm matt our 3 x 1 doesnt have any storage and with 2 little boys the tooth brush holders sure might get broken, needed something to pass the time. tryed emailing our prestart lady but she never emails back and always in prestart meeting so will call next week again. congrats on your progress cant wait to see picks Re: leebuild - final plans signed!!! 35Apr 30, 2010 1:17 pm leebuild yah finally backdrafting done and final plan signed off and sent away. Now maybe we will see some progress. Congratulations! If there is one thing I have learnt over our past 3 builds (yep-we are up to number 4...) is to be patient (doesn't stop me fom wishing and praying for things to move quicker! You will have a set number of days for completion once your building permit is received and ground is broken(in your contract docs..) and assume that they will all be used-anything less is a bonus! Oh-and I am purchising "necessities"for the new house now as well!
