Single Storey indeed... A roof would be awesome, but we're happy to wait for our SS' preferred trades if it means a better quality job

Totally agree R&L - and it sounds like you have a good one!!

A&O, your house pics look great. We actually did a drive by the other night and it looks beautiful. Is that door in the pic coming off your rumpus?

About to start building after months of waiting, hoping the next part is cleaner.
Enjoying everyone's journey and the advice received thru the forum, in particular telstra.

Best of luck Rob

Sparkies have been through cutting holes in freshly painted plasterboard. As I suspected, and has now been proven, all the data cabling through the house was not completed at frame stage, and they have not made holes for the data points in any of the rooms. My SS claimed it was done before the plaster went up, clearly it has not.

Our Caeser has gone in also.. looks the goods, a little darker then I thought, but the wife thinks its spot on, single slab as well on the kitchen island! 3.19m!

Still dont completely understand why the house will take that long now, sure we have a stack of tiling.. maybe thats the reason, but seriously, after this week, we have flooring and showers to do.

Thanks Leanne - the single door is off the rumpus/games - the stacker is off the kistchen/living room - once I'm in and you are doing a drive by you will have to stop and say hi!

Can't wait until we are all real neighbours and not just cyber neighbours!

Congrats Rob and good luck with your build!

Tiling shouldn’t take longer than a week. I have heaps on tiling in my place and it took a week.

Hi Mews,
I’m glad to hear your build is starting soon. I’m sure tstr1a’s journey will be very helpful for your building the Waldorf and all. I love your wall paper for your blog too, it’s a great picture. I can’t wait to see some of your updates. Cheers, Ebony

Rob, tstr1a has a wealth of advice. Good luck with your build!

What is a Pre-Construction Inspection form?

No idea Wateman... Never heard of it. Is it a PD thing?

Yeah my BC said she was sending that out to me. I pretended I knew what she is talking about.
Guess I gotta wait n see!

Not PD land? I assume its like a site prep checklist/signoff then.

Maybe its the letter indicating the start date and stage details?
I recieved this only a couple of days ago - right before the start of the slab...
Would expect you and Rups to recieve this any day now if not already.
No mention of any checklist with me....
Cheers

Just a quick drop in/update from me..

We were slabed last Friday and our SS said the frame work will start today!! There's photo's on my blog - http://www.ourwallanhome.blogspot.com/

Our SS called me Monday at 2.30 to let me know the slab was all good and 4 minutes later I received an email invoice from PD accounts payable requesting the first progress payment.. They sure don't mess around

Arrrrggghhhh! Just found out our bricks have been discontinued.....not angry just bemused as to how we're supposed to pick another brick when there's no similar brick in the same price range??

Which bricks are discontinued?

Been there done that..

Hope it works out for you..

Hi JLD,
I’m sorry to hear about your bricks being discontinued. I can understand how frustrating this is for you, especially if you’re saying there is no similar brick. What bricks had you selected? There are a few reasons why this sometimes happens with our suppliers and we don’t always get informed as quick as we’d like. To help you a little further we have a blog post which explains this - http://blog.porterdavis.com.au/index.php/2010-10/hit-a-brick-wall-with-your-brick-selection/ Have you spoken with your BC about your options? Cheers, Ebony
