Were you actually expecting it today or was it Friday they told you when they put yesterday's pour off?? Re: Charlibear's Build with GJ Gardner 2090Feb 09, 2017 11:55 am So glad GJ got their act together before your finance deadline . Must be the day for good news, I got an email from my conveyancer and land settlement is booked for the 23rd . Looking forward to voyeuristically watching your vision come together from afar. Re: Charlibear's Build with GJ Gardner 2092Feb 09, 2017 12:03 pm charlibear shellby Your kidding - it liked rained for 5 minutes then stopped here. It was nothing. There was a downpour for about 10 minutes at 7am, then like I said it rained for about 5-10 minutes about 10am and nothing else the rest of the day. Def not enough to cancel a slab. Heck they poured mine with it sprinkling and then it teamed down for 2 hours but they were 3/4 finished so couldn't stop. Then the SS not turning up is just rude! Did you hubby call and ask where he was and why he wasn't there? As for the retaining wall, you will be where I was with mine - an extra cost which the bank won't cover because they have set the finance to your building contract so you will need to fund it yourself. You will find your contact states in the exclusions section 'landscaping and retaining walls not included in fixed price.' I was and still not happy about that! $6000 for 8m wall 1.2m high. I made them add it to the end so I could save up for it. You're joking right? I was told that it was torrential rain in Grafton We had a down pour this morning around 4.30am and thought they will probably not show up because of that. Yep hubby called him but no answer so I sent an email that got him to call me. Hubby's brother will let us know if they're on site, from my phone call with SS they are meant to be pouring from 6.15am... we shall see... Also the SS reassures me no retaining wall is needed... hmm... still not 100% sold on that GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 torrential rain - I wish, I still had to water my gardens because the ground was still dry. I reckon they doubled booked something and put you off since even the SS wasn't your way or answering their phone. Hope it improves for you.
