Yes, we've received our rates notice. We had our final inspection on Friday. Just a few things to get finished off before settlement which is expected to be in about 2 weeks, so should be moving in shortly after that. How is your house going Viking? You can't be far behind us.

We have been given an approximate date of early September but this could change. We have to do a final inspection before we hand over the rest of the money and they give us the keys, and unless the work is done as to what we expect then we won't be signing off on anything untill the work is done. I ...

Come on Rochelle, update your blog!! At the moment your house is non existent!! I was up at the weekend and there are a few houses going up now, which is good. Not long now!!!!

I know Rochelle. David went up one weekend and they were laying out for the slab and by the next weekend the slab had been done and the frame finished! Last Saturday the windows were in and the insulation wrap done and they looked like they were going to start with the roof tiles. I know the one nex...

went up to our plot today to inspect the slab (just had the invoice) and not only is the slab done but builders are already well under way with the frame!! Don't worry Viking, soon as the land is ready for the slab pour Carlisle will push on and the frame for the house will be up in no time.

It's official, builders are starting on site Tuesday 22nd to put up the temporary fencing, after which they will be starting on the foundations (weather permitting)

Went up to our plot on Sunday. Looks like we will be starting on site soon, hopefully sometime this week. Just waiting for official confirmation from builder!

Welcome shorty2. We are lot 725 so will be just up the road from you. We hope to start building soon. Welcome also bubblynutter. Stages 6 onwards have NBN so you should be ok with the internet. We have arranged for our house to be pre-wired for NBN so we just need to be hooked up when it's completed...

Well, good news on Stage 7 is that the SPEAR application has been signed off at the Council and lodged at Land Victoria for registration. Australand have confirmed that the registration is being applied for but due to next week being only 4 days they do not expect it to be completed until just after...

Sorry, put what SPEAR was on the facebook site and forgot to do it on here. The plan was certified today so we are now just waiting for the Certificate of Compliance and for the SPEAR application to be lodged at Land Victoria so Australand's solicitors can also lodge the application to register the ...

On checking the SPEAR website it shows that the Plan of Subdivision is waiting for Certification of the Plan. Hopefully the Council wll sort this out soon. ::wornout::

We went to the site yesterday morning and took some photos which we have put on our blog, including the signpost! Getting closer to being finished, the workmen were still pushing dirt around levelling things off but it looked a lot more ready than the last time we were up. Looks like it will be on t...

Some people will nick anything. Shellbelle, our daughter is almost 18 and our son has just turned 16.

Hi Shellbelle, Thanks for your welcome on fb! In answer to your question, yes we have made our colour selections, we did that months ago. We didn't take any photos at the time as we didn't really think about doing a blog then. The house outside is going to be red brick with cream for the render, fro...

Hi Shellbelle We decided not to have the fireplace. We don't think we would get the use out of it and it restricts the flexibility of the floorplan.

http://www.carlislehomes.com.au/find-a-home/riverton-1/photo-gallery/search The floorplan is almost the same as what we are having, we have just moved the alfresco door to the meals area and added some more internal doors. We are also having the Manuka facade.

Hi Shellbelle We are building the Riverton. Don't have any floorplans online yet, although looking to start up a blog for friends/family to see. I had a nosey at yours, looks very good. We went up last weekend to see the progress and saw that most of the paths/driveways were in and they had marked o...

We are building on lot 725.
