Re: Jodes House with Aussie Living 49Sep 17, 2009 6:35 pm tc2000 Hi jodie80, it's all very exciting this house building melarky (even all the downers too) LOL. Speaking of tradies and their utes, today I ordered the tradie to back his ute off my easement but he didn't understand me cos' I said,"can you move your truck". OOOops.....sorry.....I'm still not used to calling a ute a ute cos' we call it a pickup truck from where I come from!!!!!! And I've been here 2 years already!!!!!!!! LOL Anyway, good luck with your build. I'll keep an eye out on your thread! I still have difficulty calling the trunk a boot and the hood a bonnet... I hope you get to see lots of action soon Jodie and don't feel bad about updating every little thing that happens because any action is good action and we've all been there Re: Jodes House with Aussie Living - Not long to go for a slab!! 50Sep 17, 2009 6:50 pm Jodie80 A response!!!

I certainly do have something to look forward to!! LOL Guess i'll forgo the usual drive-by today then... *sigh* oh well. It'll all be happening very very soon!!! Can't wait to get home so i can browse the net properly for different paint colours. I'm painting it myself (with the help of friends as well!!!) and have no idea about colours and theme's etc. I'm slightly worried about my tiling tho - as i'm getting this done by a tiler/builder friend of mine (aussie wanted to charge an absolute fortune to do it!!! no thank you...) and need to work out when the tiler can get in there to tile the place up *before* handover... guess thats' something else we'll need to sort out. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread!

Oh no....I got a plan of my estate to see where homeswest houses would be but because it is private there are none but over in the Gardens there are a few As I am in Armadale at the moment I know how bad some of the homeswest houses get..hopefully they will put nice tenants in there for you Building with Homebuyers Centre El Questro!

We have a few homeswest homes around where I am (coolbellup) but not a huge problem. Keep on your finger in the pie when it comes to your build. I see the builders every day cause I'm next to my build. I'm not suppose to go on the block but they are ok about it. In the end it's your land and your money, not there's. Crack the whip!

Not such a good experience). So FINGERS CROSSED, that i get a nice one!!! There are a few in Dalyellup, and most of them seem to be fine! Just my bad luck to get a not-so-nice one i suppose Nat, you're so lucky to be right next door to your build!!! Wish that were me LOL viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread!

Re: Jodes House with Aussie Living - Awaiting a slab!!! 58Sep 17, 2009 9:23 pm Don't worry too much witht he homeswest thing, I seriously doubt they would put druggies in a nice new home. You should see some of the ones in Armadale, they ripped up the floor boards and had a fire out the front of the house..finally they got kicked out! I am pretty lucky and in the nice part of Armadale but have to drive past the yukky homes to go on my daily stalkfest Building with Homebuyers Centre El Questro!

Do they just like put some sort of undercoat or something on them?? I have no idea... obviously LOL Lynne - yep. I'm staying pretty positive about the homeswest house. Noice!!!
