Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 08, 2009 8:13 pm Hi everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself properly, I kinda briefly did in another thread but I dont want to take over someone elses! My name is Alisha and my partner and I have recently signed to build with RedInk homes, building the Custom 5000 in Hocking. We recieved a letter last week saying the engineers report had been done so hopefully things will keep coming quickly! I'm already impatient! We've worked out a few things we want regarding bricks but as for everything else its all a little overwhelming! We've made all our design chanegs to try and make this our 'dream home' but its just all the little things left now! Scary! Hoping to hear anyones stories/advice when it comes to everything else! Lish Re: Another Newbie - RedInk homes in Perth 2Nov 08, 2009 8:17 pm Welcome Alisha! Congratulations on all the progress so far. I am sure you will find this site very helpful! Hoping your build goes really smoothly. We all love pictures so make sure you post some of your block/selections/house plans etc if you can hehe Re: Another Newbie - RedInk homes in Perth 3Jan 23, 2010 7:19 pm Hi Alisha, I'm also building in Hocking so will be interested to see how yours goes. Hockings looking good now with all the new houses going up! I've also checked out the local shopping centre which is nice. Sorry don't have any advice I've had lots of problems with plans and am still waiting for council approval and prestart. Good luck with it all!
