We always visit our dirt, like to picture where we are standing in the house on the block (yes we are that lame!)   I bet once the barriers come down the guys who have built next to the edge will be happy as we'll stop parking out the front of their house!!! 
Oh, btw, the solicitor got a weeks extension on the land!! Wooohooo, was going to be tight! ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 442Jan 30, 2009 12:57 pm I see that Ray White has removed the sign from our block now... Yay!
We need to cut it before they scrape the site but it's been too damn hot. Looks like we are still on schedule for a Feb start date but I think it will be at the end of Feb. We were going to visit the official dispays opening tomorrow but it will be too hot to take a 5 week old baby and a feral 2 year old lol. We have been through just about every house already, so we were just going there for the entertainment and free BBQ

Feb will be good, wait til it cools down before you do it, they cant expect you to be out there mowing in this heat
What going to happen with the telstra pit? We are heading aross for the opening tomorrow.. No display walk thru's for us either, all BBq & amimal entertainment... Should feel a bit cooler than the last few days.. If you change your mind, we may see you there
Anyone else going? nesspop  Why am I covered in feathers Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 444Jan 30, 2009 10:22 pm  nesspop What going to happen with the telstra pit? Do you mean for the crossover? It won't be in the way as the crossover will go next to it. Our garage door will be approx 2.4m in from the left side boundary anyway as we made the garage wider. The crossover will go just the other side of that tree on the front of our block. nesspopWe are heading aross for the opening tomorrow..

I forgot to mention, I spoke to South East Water this week & they said that the pumps for the recycled water going in on the 5th Of Feb. And then it will take about a week to commission them, then we will have our water nesspop Why am I covered in feathers Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 448Jan 31, 2009 6:37 pm Wooohoooo! Thats excellent news for you all on the recycled water guys, especially for those who have finished their landscaping ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 449Feb 01, 2009 12:35 pm That's great news about the recycle water.
I have a question about the phone/internet. Is it true that only Telstra Big Pong is available? (thumbs down) We are with iprimus and would like to stay that way as we have business email addresses that we don't want to lose and we hate Telstra. Anyone know what the deal is with this?

Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 451Feb 01, 2009 10:31 pm We took Telstra to the telecommunications ombudsman once as they failed to wire up the last house that we built. Unfortunately we lost as we couldn't prove it was their fault. But ever since that we have never used their services for anything.
I will be spewing if we have to go back to them. Might look at a wireless internet connection instead. I would rather have no phone connected than go with them again.

Other providers could offer ADSL, they just didnt have the ports from telstra & wanted more clients before buying the ports.(to offer ADSL2Plus)
Mind you that was 4 month ago when we moved in, so ask the question again as it may have changed in this time nesspop Why am I covered in feathers Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 454Feb 02, 2009 2:51 pm nesspopBern was saying that Testra are the only ones offering ADSL2plus, as all others couldnt offer that service.

Ness, did you see that block besides ours has been cut? it looks like they could be building soon aswell. Have you met the owners and do you know what house they are building?

They are putting in the piping now, so in a few days they should have their slab On the weekend they mowed the block & I saw a car there 2 nights ago..

It's absolutely driving us bonkers and it's typical with Telstra for about 5 display villages I've organised over the past several years.  Don't fall for the "Freebies" scam Re: Marriott Waters release --> Info / update center 457Feb 07, 2009 1:07 am nesspop Hels_n_GregNess, did you see that block besides ours has been cut? it looks like they could be building soon aswell.

But havent spoken to them as yet When i see them next I will introduce myself & get their credentials... We passed the block today (we were driving down Western Port Hwy) and saw all these trucks parked on our block so we drove in for a look and sure enough all the tradies were making themselves at home on it! A bit cheeky I think. Anyway, Greg is hoping to slash it on sunday (if the weather is cool enough) so if anyone is parked there he will tell them to buzz off. I told him not to get too worked up about it as the site will be scraped soon. But I suppose we don't want big tyre ruts all over it either
Do you think it is a 2 storey or single storey? It doesn't look that big so we think it could be a 2 storey. I'm glad they are building now as we won't have to put up with the noise when we move in Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

I might wonder over later & have a look. see how big the slab looks.. The builders like to park on spare blocks, I am sure when the scraping thing arrives they will move, or he will run over them & make them move.. Too many trucks go up & down the street during the day to park on the road. Nature strip will be next  They might park on the water front blocks

If anything, a 2 storey would help shade us from the hot westerly sun in summer we will plant it all out too. I'd rather not have a 2 storey at the back looking into our backyard though.
PD tells us we are still on schedule for Feb start but plans are not in council yet so it will be the very end of the month at the earliest. Still waiting for the official loan approval to start building too. That would be quite a shock if ANZ knocked us back!! Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

Ok, funny thing happen today, I found your neighbours plans, well part of, on our front deck. Looking at them it looks like a single story carlise home.. The plans were a little wind swept & water logged, so I cant make out the whole house.. They visited again today but we were on our way out  so we didnt say hi..
I think the house behind you will be a double for sure, as the one behind us is & they know each other.. And its water front.. I will ask Dale behind us..nesspop Why am I covered in feathers |
