We also had contact from our site supervisor, who gave us an outline of his expected timeline. So exciting! Also noticed another cut on the end of tangerine. I can't believe how deep they have cut. Not sure how happy I would be in my nice new house with a huge drop like that just outside my fence!

A great result only going $400 over our tendered provision, and this was due to the extra circuit for the pool. Next stop interiors & tiles Re: Caddens penrith 107Nov 30, 2013 10:50 am Our slab has been poured today! Plus more updates to the blog, and another update coming this evening once we have slab photos! Re: Caddens penrith 108Dec 02, 2013 8:40 am Bricks are going up, they are doing a good job.

I think it's going to be a long & expensive day Re: Caddens penrith 110Dec 05, 2013 5:16 pm Well I was correct ... It was a long day, however not that expensive, yet, they have redraw out kitchen, to move the cooktop to island bench. Amazingly the range hood we loved and wantedm(which they have just unveiled in the Pete Evens Benham kitchen at kellyville) is ... Discontinued!!! Why launch a kitchen with a discontinued product?? Any way tiles came it at 1k extra Re: Caddens penrith 111Dec 10, 2013 7:12 pm Our frame was delivered today! WOO HOOO! Stacks of photos on the blog!

I guess it was just going to be too hard with all the hurdles! Fingers crossed this is for good and not just until they redesign it! Re: Caddens penrith 114Dec 16, 2013 4:20 pm Hi guys, Has anyone spoken to or looked into companies that do retaining walls? I think most of us will need some built and thought if you had any referrals it might be a good thing. Al Re: Caddens penrith 115Dec 16, 2013 4:27 pm YEAH ILL NEED SOME FOR SURE!!!!!!

Lets hope a for sale sign goes up and some nice family want to build their dream home with a decent backyard hehe whoooooo high fives all round!!!! Re: Caddens penrith 117Dec 16, 2013 9:01 pm In regards to retaining walls we need some too!! We haven't looked into any companies yet but does anyone know if u need an engineer or is it just over a certain height? If so does anyone know the height? Re: Caddens penrith 118Dec 17, 2013 12:47 pm From the caddens / Penrith DCP; 'On front to back slopes, rear boundary retaining walls should be a maximum 1.8 metres in height and retain a maximum cut of 1.5 metres in height, provided that there is a minimum one (1) metre wide terrace between the face of the wall and the fence line'. I'm hoping whom ever we chose to do our landscaping will complete our retaining walls, although we don't think well have anything over 500mm so i may even have a crack myself Re: Caddens penrith 119Dec 18, 2013 9:04 am We are building in Caddens and using a landscaper called Artview Landscapes. We have had work done from them at a previous residence and did a great job so hoping they can do as good on this one.. We are going to be using concrete sleeps as stone is too expensive and I am worried that timber will rot. Re: Caddens penrith 120Dec 23, 2013 5:07 pm To all my lovely new neighbors, we wish you and your families a safe and merry Christmas. Already looking forward to a Neighbour Christmas party next year when we are all our new homes (hopefully). Hopefully we'll met in the New Year. Al, Kaz & Carter |
