We were told 31 weeks + 5 wks xmas break + p/hols + wet weather = NO IDEA Well we don't really its just a guess date. you take it from the day your contract started, We have i think a 42 week contract and we added on the 5 weeks over Christmas and have come to that ruff date.. dose not mean it will be exactly that date. of cause it will be longer if we have rain and what ever.

Must be very exciting.
I'll be keeping a watchful eye on your build as I'm building with Masterton as well! Is 42 weeks a standard contract for them? That seems awfully long.... Re: John and Taz's Masterton Mansion..Whos up for a party? *PICS 7Jan 31, 2009 3:26 pm The contract for ours is 32 weeks. Hubby just corrected me whoops!
The contract time = To the size of the house your building. Hubby had a meeting with our Project manager this am and he said that we will definitely be in by the middle of august.

its been what a few days since i wrote this post? Well nothing ( except for the filling in of the pluming and delivery of more frames and trusses) has happened. I have searched for the chippies high and low. So if any one sees a group of chippies that look lost please send them my way i think they have gone AWAL ***shakes her head in shame John, Tarin and the Kids Built and moving in to the Regent Grande with Masterton homes http://thebrownsaremovingtothecountry.blogspot.com Re: John and Taz's Masterton Mansion..Whos up for a party? *PICS 12Feb 05, 2009 8:22 am Got the phone call at 7.30 from John DH...

Yaaaahhhooooo John, Tarin and the Kids Built and moving in to the Regent Grande with Masterton homes http://thebrownsaremovingtothecountry.blogspot.com Re: John and Taz's Masterton Mansion..Whos up for a party? *PICS 14Feb 05, 2009 9:43 am My parents built twice when I was a kid--once when I was eight and once when I was fourteen. They were both awesome adventures. I collected random bits and pieces from the construction sites, at which my parents just smiled and nodded and said "there's a good boy", whilst thinking "we'll throw it out when he isn't looking...".
They never did throw any of it out, and now they have a bunch of little memories wrapped up in the stuff I collected. Good luck with it all--hope your kids enjoy it too! Everything I know, I learned from SBS.

Apprentley yesterday one of the chippies fell from the second level and dislocated his shoulder ... and some one called work cover to dob them in for not being a safe work place ... I bet i can guess who did this! we have a neighbor who is a PAIN IN THE back side he tried very hard to make going through council hard. At one stage he tried to threaten us, Once he found out we were building a 2 story house. He also had the hide to tell us we had to remove a window that looks at his place. he has just made things very upsetting i have had a cry over him and his crap a few times. We told him if council agrees with it we would NOT be changing it.. and nothing was said about it.. then he was trying to come up with other excuses.. the latest one was that the window that he was winging about is my daughters room and his misses said to john that she wanted us to move my dd and put her in to another room we were like P(*& Off LOL. This guy has his camera in hand and will take pics of any thing he thinks he can have a whinge about. Any how he has a really bad name with Masterton ( he built with them) as he even signed his contract to move in with out appliances and hot water cause he was fed up with paying rent he only had his water tank connected to the house last week. people like this really annoy me! John, Tarin and the Kids Built and moving in to the Regent Grande with Masterton homes http://thebrownsaremovingtothecountry.blogspot.com We are in the pre contract stage with Masterton Homes and conerned about the cost of hydraulics. Wondering if anyone can answer the following: How much and and for what… 0 39 I recently went through a similar renovation and move scenario when updating our family home. We also swapped some rooms around and tackled a major… 2 3738 nothing to do with salespeole. you'd do well to read and ccomprehend the post before bashing away at the keys with some negative comment again. 4 5061 |
