The bob cat worked overtime with getting everything out and them putting in some top soil for us. Once the driveway is poured which hopefully will be by the end of this week (there is a delay as the cement company is extremely busy) we will then be able to get turf laid on our nice level block K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 3951Oct 24, 2014 5:47 pm I finally updated my blog… I so love living out here!

Once the driveway is poured which hopefully will be by the end of this week (there is a delay as the cement company is extremely busy) we will then be able to get turf laid on our nice level block What sort of turf will you be getting? We went with sapphire buffalo. One word of advice - once its laid make sure you give it plenty of water and then continue watering over the coming weeks. This will ensure it gets its roots set nice and deep giving you a strong healthy grass. Joh + Lach I finally updated my blog… I so love living out here! We should organise a catch up (in person) at the park sometime Wow Jo, your house looks fantastic. Great work Now the weather has warmed up and the sun is out late a catch up would be awesome. Who else is intersted? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Built the Nova with MJH completed Dec 2013 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 3953Oct 24, 2014 9:16 pm JOH! I love you place. Well done!! James .. It is just about that time for pre-Christmas catch ups, right? And now Nat & her hubs are all settled in. Hubby and I would definitely come up for a hello; currently expecting our first bubba due Boxing day so not sure if we'll be around much as it gets closer to Christmas Just thought i'd mention two things: 1. For halloween If you have kiddies that want to do trick our treating hubby and I have candy and are happy to have them stop by and trick or treat 2. Anyone seen this new initiative that's about to kick off? http://wccmediareleases.wordpress.com/2014/10/24/west-dapto-home-deposit-program-launched/ Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 3954Oct 24, 2014 9:30 pm Congrats Joh your home is looking great!!!

I sent the link to my dear friend who is desperate to buy a house and been doing it tough so they will be going to the info night! Such a fantastic initiative it's getting more and more impossible for people to buy their own home these days.
