Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The Vardy's House - Masterton Crystal MK3 281Aug 11, 2010 8:40 pm It was...until the weather from hell arrived at 4pm last night! I'm already a grandma-DS already has two boys (aged 3.5 & 2) I love it! I'm young enough for people to think that they're mine, but old enough to know that my full time childrearing days are just about over! I wouldn't have missed the past 26+ years for anything..

LOVE those ultrasound pics. Good to hear all is going well with your pregnancy. Fab news about getting keys sooner than expected! Still think it's supremely cheeky of them to send the final payment claim before they're ready to give you keys. Deemaree, how exciting to have another grandchild joining your family soon!

Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=41002 Re: The Vardy's House - Masterton Crystal MK3 293Aug 19, 2010 4:27 pm Renee, I know this is a question for our SS (and probably a bit of common sense, which I am curiously lacking at the moment!) but when do they remove the boundary fence? Is it after PCI or once you get your keys? I'm wondering if we can get our driveway done after PCI but I suspect it will have to be after Masterton vacate the site, handover keys and remove the fence.

Its okay lizzy... i think its a good question... our fence is still there he said it would be gone by the end of the week.... but i think BADH said on their thread that they had to call ATF to come and remove it about a month after they moved in... so you never know lol Building the Crystal in Wollongong NSW 26th Sept 09 - Paid $2500 1st May 10 - Slab poured 14th May 10 - Frame complete 8th June 10 - Roof complete 21st June 10 - Bricks complete 30th June 10 - Lock Up 6th August - PCI 18th August - Handover Our building thread - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=27639 Re: The Vardy's House - Masterton Crystal MK3 295Aug 20, 2010 8:40 pm Hey guys, well we've been busy again.... i've been doing ALOT cleaning due to the volume of dust left over are the cleaners came my husband had been working hard on getting some gates up for each side of the house... and they took our construction fence down today so it looks very different now...
