Keep up the good work all.....
they are great, also a bit addicted!!


and thanks to Perryr for maintaining the thread!
Vanderlay - it's in my interest to maintain the thread. It's the best way of I have of keeping them organised for myself!

It's been very interesting to watch the journey. For example, Amber and John have gone from a patch of dirt, to moving in to their home. Fortunately Amber maintains the blog so we can see what's involved in getting the garden and decorating sorted.

Oh yeah - thirty something days until their wedding.....

Nice one! Your blog is now on the main list.

Hey Perryr,

Thanks for starting and maintaining this topic! It's awesome to see how many people are joining in and watching everyone's experiences come to life is fantastic!

Just a bit of clarity: Our blog site posted on this sticky is http://fundingthedream.blogspot.com/ We are building with Henley and are building The Riviera. I think you have it posted as The Entertainer? If you wouldn't mind editing to reflect the correct name, that would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

B&C
Ooops! Sorry about that. I've fixed the entry.

Looks like you are getting close to a start....

Thank you. On the first pic, its prepared for an internal heat pump(air-water). One "window" will suck the air from outside and the other will blow it out again.


2nd pic: Thats a 80 years old house and the reason why I demolished mine. I'm sure it would be more expensive to pump money into an old house for years to come than making a completely new one.

Thanks for that!
Yes, we are and are very excited to be at this stage (a lot of work to get to this point)! I will update the blog once I have heard from the Supervisor, which I presume will be this week. Though we need the rain, I have a feeling it will be hampering the start we are so desperately looking for! Oh well, nothing you can do about it. But seriously...did it have to be THIS WET of a winter?

I think it was to make up for the not very wet autumn that we had.

Cool. Learn something everyday. Cheers

Hi Perryr I have worked it all out to get our blog up, I think if it hadn't been for homeone and everyone's help I may have gone crazy (or maybe I have) over the last 11 months, no that is not how long we have be building with Pro Struct, we nearly buildt with PD and we would of but every time we went to go to tender the drawings were wrong or we had a battle with screw piles $30,000 worth of site cost problems
anyway I had not think of all that now but I do still think PD build great homes.
Well I want to get this blogg up if I can so everyone can see when I talk about Pro Struct builders and we only have a week to go, I know we need the rain but just a couple of sunny days so the painter can finish. We were lucky to start before the drought stopped and the rain came.

perryr, is it official? Have you jumped back on board with PD?

Might I just add, that's a lovely house you've picked.
Ummm. Yeah. I'm somewhat embarrassed - but here we go again. I'll update the blog when I get a minute or three.

Perry
Hi perryr
Sorry but I forgot to add we are building with Seville Homes - Isabella. Good luck with the build.

Cheers
perryr,

The link for this blog needs correcting:

http://wwwdjsblogcom.blogspot.com/

You have put a "." in between the www and djs which is not supposed to be there!

Thanks Matt. Fixed now.
