Browse Forums Building A New House Re: 24 cans of beer = 2May 18, 2007 7:46 am Not quite the sort of slab you drop in the boot at the bottl-O is it.... 
Is that lucky rain at the right time, or have they wet it down? Re: 24 cans of beer = 7May 18, 2007 10:28 am Commodore,
It hasn't stopped raining since10.30 yesterday morning here. ---- Adrian, 
---- Perry, It isd had to picture things in 2d verses really seeing them. You will no doubt see it start to take shape over the coming few weeks! ---- Sally, Happys is it exactly. If it was possible to rate Carlisle Homes higher than a 10 they would have an 11 at this stage! Re: 24 cans of beer = 8May 18, 2007 10:31 am Vanderlay,
These guys are awesome. "The boys" are a crack up and are not afraid of long hours or hard work.... I could not be happier at this point. 
Matt Re: 24 cans of beer = 10May 18, 2007 1:49 pm Way to go Matt!!! Congrats..... Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com  11 May 2007 127 Senior Member Re: 24 cans of beer = 11May 18, 2007 9:36 pm Great effort Matt.
By the looks of the wet patches there aren't any big peaks or troughs in the slab either. Looks like a good foundation to work with, your cornice lines should benefit. Look forward to the updates. Re: 24 cans of beer = 15May 25, 2007 12:48 am Congratulations on the completion of the slab Matt, is this your first time building a house?
I havnt had the pleasure of building a house yet, (brought an established investement), but I am keen on building in the future. Well done, sounds like you have a great team of guys around you to get the job done right... Regards Michael Doors Plus, No Fuss... (VIC) Re: 24 cans of beer = 16May 25, 2007 10:28 am Hi all and thanks!
vpande, the guys who did the excavations and laid the slab were awesome. I hope the rest of the crew are half as good as them! michelle, thanks! hennig, no cornice!! I am having square set right through! talinsmum, i thought so too. Amazing how concrete becomes beautiful 
rellie, thanks. firthy, lol!! I must have drunk the first 6 cans...
mcs, I have built many houses but never one for myself, I have always elected to buy established. Matt Re: 24 cans of beer = 17May 25, 2007 7:43 pm ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Do you always hire a construction company to build your houses, or do you act as project manager on all of them? Im new to the developing game, and would like to learn as much as I can about becoming a property investor. Congratulations on the slab again my friend... Regards Michael Doors Plus, No Fuss...

Regards Michael Hey MCS, I usually hire a construction company and just project manage but the last few I have got a lot more involved in. We do multi unit / townhouse development closer in to Melbourne. If you want to invest you might want to start in established and get some equity before jumping into development..... Matt |
