Re: Monster's -Build Day 100 -2/12/09 100 days alreay!!! 142Dec 02, 2009 4:17 pm Oooooooo Milly, I'm sure the wait til the weekend will be worth it Sometimes I think it's better to see the house once a week (over the weekend) cos' then there's heaps more to see! Of course, easier said than done!!!!! I try to limit myself to once a day and not do 3 visits in a day!!!!! I only live a stone's throw from the site Some how, by hook or by crook, everything ties in....certainly exciting (and exhausting) days ahead of you!!!!!! Can you smell the finish line already?

I'm breathless already just reading your list of "still to do" things before handover. Bummer that the tiles couldn't be delivered but I'm sure once they arrive the tilers will be zipping along to do your flooring. The completion of your house is really going to be a whisker away from X'mas and wouldn't that be the greatest Xmas pressie for you and your family!

Re: Monster's -Build Day 107-9/12/09 Driveway and paths done 160Dec 14, 2009 11:18 am no builder at the house again and SS is away sick for 2 days but we did get our driveway and paths done as we planned. The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn. Just the way it is. 1 8955 Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment?
