Wow!! Everyone is happy. Great to see.
Sarbear-How did your plans go?
Have now been told they can't do full plans until contour survey is done. Survey won't be done until estate is completed in approx 3 weeks.
We are not too fussed as we realise we are lucky to be this far advanced in process when we haven't even settled on land until it is registered in 3 weeks.
They did give us a draft plan and we are very happy. No errors at all.

Hey anna, yeah hubby is on arvo shift this week so we have all been up there every day in the morning.
my oldest (3) walks through the place telling us WHOs room is WHOs.
He thinks he owns the place.
(im giving your pm some thought, you know how it is. i hope you understand. Have u phone bero and asked them?) we did and they helped out.
Acre-It looks great. Can't wait for your bricks as I love the Sandstocks.
Received my tender via email. Not as bad as I thought. Now just wait for my plans. Another 4 weeks.
Just imagine. This time next year we will have a slab.
Moon - im not having sandstocks, sorry, are they the large blocks?
Sorry Acre. I meant the Govenors.
I thought I read you chose the Wakehurst. I might have made a mistake. Sorry.
oh yes, We chose the wakehurst.
went out to the block today and we have windows...i couldnt take photos but will be there tomorrow or sat and will def take lots more photos
Hi Guys...
Well our bricking has finished...happy to report! . Hubby and I are pretty happy with the job! Bricks have to be cleaned now.
We can only assume now the electrical rough in will commence and the eaves also and then the gyprocking! I bet now have a lol period and no work.....I so hope not!

25th February was first meeting with Sales office.
Tender received 22nd March.
Main delay we had was supervisor getting access to section of estate where our land is. He kept saying our land was not ready but our block was right up the top and had no work being done to it.
Hello everyone...
Hope everyone is well.....
Me doing ok....had an update from BW advising that our site clean up and electrical rough ins and frame and wet area inspections is taking place this week, it will be good to see all that mess gone.
The home show was pretty good worth going, getting some guys that were there to come and do a quote for a deck in the alfresco area, show special 15% off all quotes and free upgrade to the widest merbau in leiu of standard skinny stuff, so we are hoping they are reasonable and we can go with them, there displays looks fab!
Got shutters quotes and finally got one around the price I want to pay and they come with a 20 warranty so happy days, they are going to come and measure once gyprocking is completed as they take 8 weeks to make, so by handover they will be ready!!!
Now have to start looking at getting driveway quotes.....hmmmm....they is still so much to do even after they finished! Man! more money arraahhhggghhh!
Well, yet another Beechwood stuff around!!
Apparently we couldn't get out slab poured today because it's raining
80 killometers away!Honestly we have seen this happen to other people. You would think they would have learned by now! We got rain at 3am. It's now 9.45am and we have bule skies but because it's raining in Newcastle - an hour's drive away, it must be raining here. I don't understand why they don't ring the local company they are getting the concrete through to check the weather up here? It's not that bloody hard to make a phone call!! (Yes, I'm very cranky)
Tomorrow according to our contract we are meant to have our house complete in
15 weeks. It's suppose to be a 24 week build and we don't even have a slab yet!
The slab is now booked in for Wednesday but the rain forcast is that Newcastle will get rain all week so who knows what that means for us! And if we do get rain we'll be put off even further when it should've been done today!!
REALLY not happy
