HOW EXCITMENT!!!!!!
I love that you have a view of the big birdie! my kids looove those. how pretty does the street look. theyve done a great job down there. cant wait to call estuary home.
Had a customer come in today who's also building in Estuary. She was asking how our build was going. I told her that we got our slab poured and shes like I know I've seen it I drive past to look every day on the way to visit our build. Hahaha love it! She'd seen it before us! Bahaha
Got the bill for the slab today how depressing! Soon we'll have another one. Need to buy a winning tattslotto ticket this weekend!

_________________ For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!!
So angry with our bank. So stupid. They are saying they don't have all these documents like approved building plans, builders warranty, pulic liabillity insurance, builders licence etc, so they can't authorize any progress payments! Most of these are in the builders contract!
And the annoying thing is my husband went in there a week ago to ask the procedure on the progress payments, you think they could of mentioned then? Not the first time they have lost documents by the way. They even had been sending documents to a block of land we originally were looking at last august that hasnt been subdivided yet. We repeatively told them this was not our address.
Now the pressure is on and I'm super p i s s e d !
Burbank admin have been great today. They sent us all the things we needed so we didn't have to sift through all our paperwork.
Also we have realized the slab hasn't allowed for the water tank as shown in our council approved plans. Hubby has sent our SS a txt (his preffered method of contact how weird?)

This time we are with RAMS (do not recommend!) Last time our home loan was with Commonwealth, if we went with them again their best deal was the same home loan as what we already had, but with extra monthly fees that we didn't have to pay last time. Rip off. So we went elsewhere.

Ahh cool. My mum and dads block is on timberland st. We went up there today. It's looking good and the park and oval will look sensational. Houses will start to go up in no time. Have you got a builder now?

Woo Hoo!!
Yaaaaaaaaay for progress!!
Frame and windows already! You guys are flying along! You must be so excited!
Bummer that you are having problems with Rams, our loan is with them and we have had no problems with progress payments - but I must say the office manager in the branch we are through is a super star so she makes sure all the paperwork is 100%!
