Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building a Santorini 26 in Port Fairy 21May 08, 2015 1:05 pm Finally getting underway after a bit of a kerfuffle over the tank and its position. I was talked into getting a 22,550 l tank rather than 15,000 l because it's much cheaper on a per litre basis, but then it's too big to fit behind the garage. It would fit but only about a foot clearance, so it's now going down the back corner of the property. So they started scraping and found a lot of rocks just under the surface (I'll put a photo up at some point). They're relatively light, it being a volcanic area, but still! I'll have a look Sunday. Re: Building a Santorini 26 in Port Fairy 23Jun 29, 2015 7:41 am Trusses are up, roof is on, ducting is in...as of last weekend. The Metricon plumber has made recommendations for getting the tank organised...the roof will drain to a small tank beside the house, and then pump that to the larger tank down in the back corner. He thinks it will cost around $1500 for the materials. Concentrating on moving out into a furnished apartment on short-term lease next weekend, but I should be able to get down next Sunday. Removalist is in on Friday and storing everything in Warrnambool until move-in. Re: Building a Santorini 26 in Port Fairy 24Nov 03, 2015 11:26 am Hi Slugger! Just wondering how it's all going? And how was your experience with Metricon in Warrnambool? Building Simonds Hudson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80646 I looked into it a few years ago and my conclusion was to just build a carport that will support panels and get a system installed separately. The company I looked at had… 1 12235 No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 22322 No, not yet.
