Browse Forums Building A New House Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Kitten & Stone 891Mar 30, 2017 7:42 pm Oh that's hard! I'm really hoping it's a good outcome on the leave and build front. I can't even imagine how frustrating this whole process has been for you. I really hope you're in your beautiful house soon and all of this is a distant memory 😘 Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Kitten & Stone 892Mar 30, 2017 8:00 pm Thanks Kat. I get a bit sad when I see other people's handovers, but I just have to keep reminding myself that someday it will be my turn, even if it takes longer than I expected. I must say, this has probably been the most challenging thing I've ever done in my life.. certainly taught me a lot. Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Kitten & Stone 893Mar 31, 2017 9:27 am hmmm... that's a tough situation. I'm guessing you're worried that if you even suggest that you might not need it then that they'll take it away and not let you reschedule. Is there a way you can feel out from your boss if they would prefer if it was moved back a bit, without letting on that you might not need it so early? I feeling like they could get it finished in a couple of weeks if they pulled out all stops but it seems unlikely with how slow they are moving. Then is sounds like you will still need the 2 weeks post PCI to fix defects before handover. Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Kitten & Stone 894Mar 31, 2017 3:22 pm We had a change at work so currently have no manager..so leave is a pain.. Still debating..really need a break from work..but dont want to spend two weeks at mum n dads stressing. Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Kitten & Stone 895Mar 31, 2017 3:26 pm No response from the builder...I should call but just dont have the strength to deal with it. Times like this wish I wasn't building on my own.. Not sure if there is a point now anyway..no way ill be in before easter and if they had good news they would contact me. Kind of thinking i might just give up..it will be done when its done..

Your home will be beautiful and you'll look back and laugh someday. I know it's easy for me to say because I had a different build, but I technically built on my own too even though I have a partner. He did give me input and opinions on colours, tiling and electrical, albeit I had to push for his input lol, but financially and emotionally this was my build and it did get stressful at times especially financially. I'm sure it shouldn't be too much longer, I would think maybe 5 weeks Max based on what's left?

I'm kind of consoling myself that I should be in by the end of May at the absolute latest.. however I know better than to think things like that, given my history with this house!!

I am in SA 8 17286 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 11924 |
