Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Nicoshea - Building with RedInk - WA......Kitchens are in!!! 222Jan 26, 2010 1:30 pm Hey nicoshea I've been following yours and Lynne's builds (and troubles)... your house has gone up super quick (that is, if there really IS a house - pics or it didn't happen!! ) Re the trouble-makers - didn't the police have the girl last week? I gather they got nothing/let her go and the kids have gone back and done more damage? Or is this the other rock-throwing kids that live behind you? Oh, and you never said what happened when you chased them the first time and caught the girl - did you let her go before the cops got there?? You should have locked her in the site loo....

Good going laying all your own floors, we're going to recruit the family to help us with the painting when we get to that stage Don't forget to feed the troops! Lynne, next build go Redink, they'll look after you sweets. Between a shifty bank (they overcharged us $10000 on the deposit and didn't tell us, switched our manager 3 times while we were trying to get approval, and never return calls ), an unprofessional land saleswoman (can't return a call to save her life ), and a settlement agent who seems to be actively avoiding me, Redink have been the people who keep me sane. They returned all my calls, reply promptly to emails, go out of their way to make us feel like valued customers, and were really NICE people to work with (they'd even suggest ways for us to save money at their own commission expense ).
