We drove past on our way to the beach this arvo and our water tank is onsite. And I calculated our contract end period again after realizing they start from slab down not site cut. Damn. It's only an extra 2 weeks but still. lol Here's hoping we can still get it end of march Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 989Feb 04, 2017 11:10 pm coming along nicely Kym... Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 990Feb 05, 2017 7:05 am Woohoo a water tank what size is it? Maybe I need to check my contract because I thought it was from site cut GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 991Feb 05, 2017 9:42 am It's a 4000ltr. I thought it was site cut coz the SS said that's what it is. Then I was talking with SC (friend) and she said nope it's slab down. Paperwork I can't remember. I didn't go back to check.

Where is your clothes line going? I had thought about that spot for our rainwater but then I had nowhere for the clothesline as I didn't want free standing. It's looking great, you should have cabinets next - yay a kitchen!!! Are you thinking of getting the builder to do your retaining wall? ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 994Feb 06, 2017 7:38 pm Thanks shell! I'm yet to decide. I think it will go along the fence line to free up yard space but i haven't decided on anything outside yet. We will get a hinged line for the garage so I can air out in there when raining (handy coz it's also the laundry). This week is all the internal doors and architraves apparently. Nothing today but they still have 4 more days. Painters were across the road so quite envious but I know we will get there eventually. We are waiting for one of the owners to call so we can arrange a site meeting regarding the retaining wall. As it is, we could potentially stick a fence on our high side and. E done with with but I want to do it properly so I'm sure we can come to some arrangement It's been far too hot to contemplate walking around there of an afternoon but I'm quite sure there's been no movement between water tank on Friday and this arvo lol - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 995Feb 06, 2017 9:19 pm Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 996Feb 07, 2017 5:39 pm Thanks Reg! That looks great and I would have loved to increase the cabinet height but I would have to get a ladder to use it and we had to draw the line with the $ somewhere lol Bit of a bugger but I guess my compromise is a big WIP and WIL with high ceilings and shelving that I can use. - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: 997Feb 07, 2017 5:43 pm needsausername Thanks Reg!

I hear you Kym... (I don't think I am going to use the top shelves..it is just for looks...lol) Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 998Feb 07, 2017 8:05 pm Hahaha fair call!! - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 999Feb 08, 2017 9:30 pm My top shelve is only to store those things you rarely use like fancy wine glasses, fancy vases and Christmas platters. I use a chair to reach it if I need it. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 1000Feb 10, 2017 12:10 pm Waterproofing done!
