Great progress all round. We had a private concrete company due to the amount of work needed and did not trust they would do it properly. nat and dan Yes, they do remove those things eventually, we had a few of them at the front...looking good!

Concrete Progress... just needs colour seal now and then we can start our landscaping around it... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fT2zzVM0zi4/VUny3ruY1TI/AAAAAAAABMw/4eliWEuc0zI/s640/blogger-image-437871879.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VKcPy_33Liw/VUny0Hfu2BI/AAAAAAAABMg/i8j8QJDvBvA/s...

Nat and Dan, I really think it depends on the SS, they are great at making promised but not fulfilling them. I really feel for you as that is such a long time and it has not been raining for 4 months so that is not a big excuse. Hopefully your SS is pushing to get that roof on ASAP, then there shoul...

Cathyleigh, we did not need to use ply, we used Tech Screws, all I did before gyprock went in was drew a diagram with measurements of where the metal frame is, these days TV's are a lot lighter then what they once were. The only thing I would suggest would be slimline power point rather than their s...

Great to see some slabs going down after all this rain. Its such a nice change to see the sunshine... Stage 1 of our concrete was done yesterday - yay for sun! But its still too wet for any more work so next week they will be back. We are getting used to the mud now and the kids have it down pat ent...

A few pics.... that was after this mornings downpour, we now have a full lagoon - but the good part is it seems to soak up pretty quick when the rain does stop for a day or two.... rainwater tank is well full. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-62l7xMrF_mU/VUTME8h8u8I/AAAAAAAABKs/ylNZyInb-EM/s400/bl...

Looking good wiseman - hope everyone is not being to affected by the rain.. we have lots of muddy puddles... reminds me of an episode of Peppa Pig.. :-) For the Bronte Builders, the design is great, we have built the smallest of the Brontes and I tell you - its huge... The only thing I would have ch...

We have been in our Bronte for two weeks, we built the smallest one.... its huge walking from one end to the other its a big house. We have two kids and are very happy with our home size.....

Nat and Dan, we had lots of bricks that they brickies did not use, I hope yours will take off soon! With things drying up the concertos have started today, they will be here for a full week. So far they seem like great people. Its nice relax and let it happen. With my blog, I will add those who have...

Too Lighten the mood a little, we had Painters doing the undercoat today. I can't believe we are at this point, and no bricks..... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e92sGYffiJY/VTs9jF-SPFI/AAAAAAAABkI/CR3_Hx_HsWc/s1600/20150425_113942.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NWBQtFx70c4/VTs9jMrEgFI/AAAAAAAABkE/AyzE6p...

Nat... to answer your question.. Initially I would say - our build was going great, from tiles onwards it went down hill badly mostly due to CLO and SS - and they are the key people you deal with. Would I build with them again - well that's a mixed question. 1. Designs - excellent - yes 2. Overall p...

Hi all thanks for your support, its a lot more than MJH are giving us at the moment.. Oh and the thank you gift that our SS said initially did not exist, does, he did a dump and run at our front door, he knew I was home and I saw him getting it out of the car and I watched what he did, he dumped it ...

CLO's are useless... not sure where they are hired from but they have no idea about communication or even their jobs.... We have a river around us atm... never asked for water views but have them, driveway was supposed to start tomorrow but has been pushed back for a minimum of 1 week. all good thou...

I think it will drag on.. but anyway - KEYS TODAY yahoo!!!! my poor family has been living like gypsies for the last 4 years between building our last house and this house, so it will be g...
