Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 942Dec 22, 2012 12:12 am Good to see your tradies worked today. Seems my brickies have caught the curse and didn't do anything today. Seems the knocked off a day early. Hopefully the 7th comes quickly Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 943Dec 22, 2012 1:46 am Yeah I'm really happy with these guys ... Shame. They knocked off early maybe they'll come back a day early too LOL nothing wrong with dreaming !!! Our brickies are working through the break ... Having just a couple of days over Xmas and new year ... Because they're going away on the 12th so they said our bricks SHOULD be done by then ... Lol I was thinking they better be !!! We've got a full shell now give or take a few bricks here and there ... I'm a bit over this stage now lol ... But I do really want to see my portico ....and I CANT WAIT FOR MY ROOF !!!

And its been so hot ...they finished off the other wall to the garage yesterday and put in the external garage door frame ... Hopefully they start internal bricks soon 2 Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 954Dec 28, 2012 3:37 pm Hi all we are building currently on Constable St. I hear it is taking at least 7 weeks to get your fence installed is that correct? I also hear that the landscaping of $3500 is not enough for corner blocks? has anyone spoken to the developers re this and asked them to provide more money? Sounds like it is all a bit of a disaster really. We had so much trouble with getting titles we almost gave up. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 955Dec 28, 2012 3:50 pm I remember driving past the estate today and I saw a house on the corner, with a 3 foot shade cloth fence wrapping around the back yard, I could not help but laugh and think damn terror novice, look at what these people have to resort too.

Yes seems a bit over the top. Mind you if Terra can't organise the developemtn what hope do we have of them paying the fencing contractor!! Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 958Dec 28, 2012 4:10 pm dargonk Hi BrianJulie-Ann, which block are you? 269 on the corner, we are building with Redink. It has been good so far but for some reason the tradies don't like working longer hours on our home!! they always seem to go home earlier than everyone else. Was it something I said!! Seriously though we look around and think we are doing well then we slip behind. Oh by the way I hope you all don't mind us taking a peak at the other Redink houses in the area being constructed, as it helps us see what type of workmanship we can expect. Ta Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 959Dec 28, 2012 5:48 pm Hi brianjulie-Ann good to meet another 3Ber ... Our builder told us to book in our fencing at lock up so that the fencing is done while the house is being finished ... We also have a corner block on simony our bricks are being done now ... I think weve all agreed on here that it's ok to look in each others houses LOL Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 960Dec 28, 2012 11:16 pm Hi Brian Julie-Ann,Judy & I met you some time ago whilst we were checking progress on our respective projects; your neighbours on 268. We had issues with our brickies being afraid of getting wet or making too much money- the longest stretch they worked was 3 days , even when the rain only lasted 'til 9 or 10 am. Hope to meet up with you folk soon. Wishing all a Happy, safe, & prosperous New Year . Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 12846 1 5149 1 2933 |
