Our SS is on leave until Monday. She said that site scarpe should happen end of this week or early next week (depending on the weather that is) and all underground stuff should be done by the end of next week ready for a slab. Sounds great but i doubt anything is going to happen unless this rain stops!

Your bedroom is soooo nice! Envious too of the 'HERS'!! And the retreat...lubby jubbly! Hopefully no more issues for us with council!

Your house isn't going to be much smaller than our at all, i think you will definitly feel the difference! I have BIG plans for the WIR! I'm just hoping it will look as good IRL as it does in my head! YAY FOR SLABS! Bring it on i say! amazing_venice Oh, and on the pink - is that downpipes/stormater connections?

You bite a little off from two opposite corners and then use it as you would a straw. Best with a hot beverage (coffe, hot chocolate etc) because the inside of the tim tam melts! It's delicious!

We drove past today but nothing has been touched on our land since thursday, apart from people dumping their rubbish in our cage bin because PD haven't put a fence up on our site yet! We were told that slab POUR was to happen on the 25th which is tomorrow! I highly doubt that. I tried calling our CSR, but "she wasn't in her office" so i left message for her. The main reason why i called though was not because we have had no progress since thrusday, or the fact we have rubbish dumpers due to no fence, but it's is because our SS is yet to contact us to introduce himself. We were told to expect a call from him 2 weeks ago! First week we hadn't heard from him i called and was told it was because he was still on holidays and was to return on the 17th. That's fair enough, but it's been a week since his return to work and there have been things done on our land and we are yet to have a phonecall. This is ment to be the person that is in control of our house being built and he isn't even organised enough to give us a phonecall! I'm not happy! I'll be requesting a different SS if this is an indication of the communication we will be receiving. Sorry for the vent. Really gets to me that this has happened so early into the build!

That is going to be such an awesome slab! I recently went through a similar renovation and move scenario when updating our family home. We also swapped some rooms around and tackled a major… 2 11784 2 6344 that will depend on the kitchen bench depth. you'll have to specify it so it allows for both the tap and the sink 1 7917 |
