They really leave out all the fine print don't they!! We all know how much you need to save to get this and that done, and getting a few thousand dollar bill definitely doesn't help! I will say though guys, make sure you have money aside for your phone connection, etc as our bill is going to be $700. 300 for the new line connection, 270 for the modem, 80 for the plan connection fee and then 60 for the actual plan itself! Ouch! I went through iinet though, found they are much cheaper than telstra. Although all the paperwork from commodore says telstra all over it, you can actually connect through whoever you want. No frustrating call to telstra necessary!

I remember the bloke building his own fence, I think he was making it a rendered wall sorta thing? Anyways, he nicked all their left over bricks before they could even take them, so we are guessing he made a lovely fence out of their bricks!! Does it have to be limestone or can you do what you want as long as it looks fancy and costs you a lot of money? I know those sorts of areas are quite picky.

The fence saga is coming to an end we finally came to an agreement with Stockland then we had to cancel one limestone contractor as he kept pushing us back due to him not being able to source natural limestone blocks but we spoke to another contractor as we got sick of it and he had the blocks delivered the same day and the wall should be completed by monday and the fence done by friday next week. We also had dramas with ** furniture falling apart and damaging our floors and destroying our tv but we won that insurance battle and they are paying for it to all be fixed. So not the smoothest sailing but its coming along. The landscaping can't be done untill the fence is complete and you have to drop all the levels of the sand to 20-25mm below footpath/driveway level and unless you wanna pay for a bob cat this is time consuming also being across from the rest of the development sand is a problem most nights il go outside for a jog and be caught in a mini sandstorm so not in a giant rush to get the landscaping done the place will look alot better with it but i just figure its more to maintain and at the moment I have enough on my plate Your place seems to be coming along nicely drive past it most mornings dodging all the tradies.
