Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 08, 2008 5:26 pm Hi Guys
Another one from me Just drove past our house AGAIN, to see if anything happened with the demo, which of course it didn't BUT I also noticed a thing black cable coming from the roof of our house and connnecting to the power pole out on the street about half way up it... We have asked for gas/electricity/Phone to be disconnected and we have been told this has been done and I'm sure I didn't see this cable before.... Does anyone know which it could be if it isn't any of the above OR how we can find out what it is? I don't want another delay from the demo company Cheers Bel My karma ran over your dogma Re: Cable attached to house 4Oct 08, 2008 6:39 pm Bel, is it just attached to the house? Or to a small grey box? We had four cables to our house; mains electricity (thick black one to a small black box), the Optus cable internet (thickish black to the grey box) and then two thin phone lines to the gables. I rang Telstra a while ago to see if they remove these for demo, and said 'no'. The demo guys cut them as they are low voltage. I can dig up a couple of pics if you want to compare them to yours?
If in doubt, ring the demo company! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

Only thing is I don't remember seeing this cord at the time, but hopefully it isn't anything major.

Re: Cable attached to house 15Oct 08, 2008 7:04 pm haywgl (nice of him to tell me ) You could always ring the demo company and tell them what you saw and see if that is ok with them - they would soon let you know if they did it... although if only that was different and nothing else it would be weird if that's all they did there Re: Cable attached to house 16Oct 08, 2008 8:14 pm I so want to ring them Donuts - it might be a good excuse!
Everytime I call them, the lady answers and before I can even say "...from New-" she says "Yes Belinda, we are coming to you as soon as possible" I have decided though if I haven't recieved a call by tomorrow afternoon and nothing has been done I am going to call them and ask what is going on. I need this house demolished by next Thursday otherwise I am going to be charged $$ from PD for not having the site start ready...
