Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 07, 2009 11:40 am Well I thought I would start up a thread for my build.
My contracts are done, so are my colours, variations are done, plans were signed off on 26 days ago and I'm waiting...waiting...waiting The day the plans came back signed I was told I'd have a slab within the 3 weeks...ummmmm thats gone now Gawd I hate waiting!! lol I won't be mentioning who I'm building with...but if you knew me before I changed my forum name, you'd know who it is - I think I'm just finalising my splashback colour and 1 render colour and when I've done that (hopefully by Sunday night) I'll throw up all my colours and plan again Hopefully I'll have more progress to report on very very soon!
