LOL I’m waiting for the new drafty to come back from leave to finish the plans I would assume Ill get the plans in about 6-8 weeks he was flat out for the next 4 weeks then on leave for 2 weeks. Then where of to council and final contract will be drawn a whole waiting game now. Oh well it gives me time to save more money for more extras all the drive way tiles carpet and fences which isn’t priced yet Re: New Home Builder 3May 23, 2010 3:01 pm Hi Optimistic, as Jodge said we have recently built in Camden Acres so it's great to find someone else building there! We have only been here 6 weeks & are in Stage 2 overlooking the golf course.What stage is your land in? I walk my dogs all the time so have probably walked past it. I have just come across another newbie H1er who is also building here with Wisdom Homes so now there are 3 of us We built with Cavalier Homes & they were great. Look forward to following your build & let us know if I can be of any assistance.

The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds. That’s why we… 5 8016 Yep, very good point. I’ll do more research and see what figures I get.
