I can walk fine in most shoes now but fast walking and my sneakers hurt so I'm limited to riding my bike for exercise and the river is flooded again. I'm about to go and see if it's down enough, it will be very muddy! Re: JG King modified Heywood - Engineering is out again! 254Oct 08, 2016 9:50 pm Well I wouldn't knock back fencing! We are debating now when to drink it. Contract signing? Final loan approval? Site start? When we move in? First mortgage repayment (ie tomorrow)? I think we need some more bottles . Re: JG King modified Heywood - Engineering is out again! 255Oct 09, 2016 8:01 am Haha well for you id say final contract signing will be a significant moment as youve waited long enought and put in a lot of effort to get go that point.... Then go and buy a few more bottles 😂😂😝 Re: JG King modified Heywood - Engineering is out again! 256Oct 09, 2016 8:15 pm It's a month today since settlement and the first fence and portaloo has arrived in our release! Given no one had access for soil testing until settlement that is an impressive feat! It's quicker than the previous releases who had earlier access. Picked up a bargain inline water filter for under the butlers sink from masters today. I've been watching since their sale started aiming for a greater than 40% discount. Decided to pull the pin today at 40+ an extra 10%, saved about $150! I probably should have held out longer since the same dozen boxes that were on the shelf when the sale started were still there but we're not close to masters so tracking it was a hassle. I suspect they aren't moving because people worry they won't be able to get replacement cartridges but the one we chose is available plenty of places. Another small thing ticked off a long list! Re: JG King modified Heywood - Engineering is out again! 257Oct 10, 2016 12:13 pm OMG! OMG! OMG! Not only did engineering come in this morning but we have our site costs and final total cost! Site costs including 55 screw piles and the retaining wall (re-engineered with steel and hardwood) came in just under 31k! We are over the moon! A year ago I would never had believed I would be happy with a number that high (original allowance was 14k) but we had come to fear much worse. We should have stuck with the 35k provisional then we could have already had finance ready and I could have put the extra towards curtains . Unfortunately we felt we couldn't take the risk when the display came in higher.
The sparkling is in the fridge! We're not even waiting to sign the contract, this is such a massive relief we need to celebrate! Now I somehow have to try and get some work done this afternoon Re: JG King modified Heywood - Engineering + Site Costs are 259Oct 10, 2016 12:51 pm FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! So happy for you! Definitely time to pop the wine bottle! You are another step closer to your house wohoo! Isn't it funny how at the start of this process site costs and added upgrades were so expensive but you soon learn to get what you want you need to spend the $$ unfortunately. Enjoy your celebrations xx Re: JG King modified Heywood - Engineering + Site Costs are 260Oct 10, 2016 1:02 pm That's awesome news bank so happy for you!!!! I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 109681 1 10169 Hi, you've probably already resolved this, however, Commbank will probably pay the funds to you after you send evidence the work is done regardless the change in the quotes. 1 36595 |
