If anyone needs work done or anything the guys that did mine are qualified carpenters that are looking for work.

Good luck with hand over tomorrow K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2413Feb 23, 2014 10:52 am Yep Kylez, they are going to continue until lock up then the engineer will come in. Bricks arrived on Friday, 3 pallets of brown bricks not sure what was going on there as we have a grey brick. Lucky hubby was there so he could fix the problem fast. I have noticed though a lot of damaged bricks on the pallets. As the brick colour is only on the surface and there are a lot of chipped bricks there is a lot of brown on them. They may start bricking the garage tomorrow up to the window then can't go any further until the windows arrive which should be tomorrow. I will be going straight to work to inspect the bricks that they are using. I won't be allowing any bricks on the build that have chips. Austral need to learn to pack the bricks better and maybe wrap them in shrink wrap so they don't get chipped. I also notice that there is no pallet for the bricks to sit on, they are just help together by two thin straps. Arrrrrgh this build is majorly stressing me out already K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2414Feb 23, 2014 10:54 am Joh + Lach yeah, hope so! we sat in the car while the kids played in the park for 5 mins. it as too cold to get out you should be starting soon with your frame Joh as the carpenter only has the frame for a kitchen to go and one wardrobe.

We're gonna be in the same boat with our 2 pooches, fences will have to get done first before they can move in Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2418Feb 23, 2014 7:45 pm Such a cute dog bet you can't wait to have her back. Has she got kelpie in her? Even after I get my fences done my dog will have to stay with my parents as my yard is way too small for her. The one downside of moving in - not seeing my fur child every day.

Awwww I feel for you Katie lucky you have your parents that are able to keep her so you don't have to give her away, but still sux when do you get keys? Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2420Feb 23, 2014 8:26 pm Hey Nat, I get the keys next Thursday, 6 march.. So not long now I think the neck week is going to go very slowly hehe. I am lucky my parents will have her and she is happy at their house, I couldn't imagine giving her away and never seeing her again. I think it if came to that I'd bring her with me and have to spend a lot on doggy day care haha. Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle.
