Hi Does anybody have a recommendation for a good,efficient, responsive, and ethical builder who could build us a home within 40 odd clicks of Warrnambool Vic and not charge an arm and a leg :?:

It probably worked like this,the surveyor draughtsperson drew up your plans after a site inspection where the water tap in point on the plan was noted.(you should be able to find this on your site drawings as W something or other,its also engraved into the gutter usually in multiple locations along ...

Can anyone help me out here.New to my location in the last month the timber frames go up then the roof trusses and before the tiles the whole roof frame seems to be sheathed in blue coloured metal strips. Please explain?Is it anything to do with the stories I hear of plaster ceilings falling down or...

call the council, builders / tradies can get an on the spot fine for littering worksafe can shut a site down if there is rubbish every were, they deam it to be unsafe Now that I would like to see :P

Sorry Clath but the girls do it as well,its called "Trades World" you know like men "are from mars women are from somewhere or other...Tradies come form "Trades World" Mind you it starts at secondary school and just gets worse as the apprenticeship kicks in and they get to learn how to devolve from ...

Could it be the hole for the sensor (down low on the tank)and kids or dogs have pulled it and cable out(now buried deep in mud with thong and Cookie.

Im appearing dumb here :oops: but grime why would concreting your paths up against the house void PDS warranty?in regards to the termite barrier? Im going to get them to clarify that. [/quote] I don't know why.Perhaps they feel that the chemical barrier is disturbed by Con creter when he digs out a...

Clath Our interior wall paint job was so bad in the main living areas that the building manager who happened to be there on the day at handover rang the painter himself and gave him a Basil Fawlty.Most of our walls ended up with an extra coat. The wall paint as used by the painters was mistinted bet...

Another point to remember with the PD spray system is that if you concrete your paths to but up against the walls of the house, ummmm! You immediately void the PD warranty.So keep your eyes open for those little critters...Especially the flying ones that go in those convenient slots left between the...

OMG!!!!!!! Don't get me started :evil: Three months on and rectifying tradies due at 8.30am turn up at 11.45am. Tell you what,if you like to draw an analogy, remember that election we had to have on the 24th of Nov? Well PD is Bennalong and Johnny rolled into one. We wish.

Guys. Worth mentioning is that having bunged all that lovely gypsum ,blood and bone and top soil on you might like to consider getting hold of a rotary hoe for the weekend and stirring it all in then rake it to a fine tilth. The Victorian clay soils generally are actually very good for growing thing...

:oops: I've also been told that the well known "big" brick makers cream bricks and the brown bricks have really soft faces these days.ie they drive the brick cleaners to distraction trying not to have them disintegrate.Another one I've heard is that the cream bricks start to go green in a "couple of...

Well I'm afraid I am unable to provide much of an update at this time. Our supervisor left the company just after our job was signed off on,so now all the issues are being managed by a more senior person. He thought the quote was too expensive :roll: and has asked for lesser one. Meanwhile the neigh...

Best to get an approved contractor to do it I think.PD charged us $265 to trench and cable to soft dial tone with one one phone point. Then Telstra came along and charged us a further $299 for connection because the cable from the house had not been joined in the Telstra pit so they sent out a tech ...

I think its a damn shame that this is what its come to. Once upon a time you could pretty much pay a builder to build a solid home and that's what you got.Now it seems you need a third party to virtually be on site and oversee the whole building process. :cry:

Can I ask what brick manufacturer?

Do the same as your power cable! Where they come out of the wall cover them with one of the round circle things that go on desks to run cables through.. One of these: http://closet-masters.com/Wire_management/429.99.735.jpg Matt Hey Matt I tried the local Warragul Mighty ripoff to get a couple of t...

Package deal? Membership has its rewards perhaps ? :lol:
