Cornicing is happening today apparently Painters on 6th, final plumbing on 9th, 2nd stage tiling on 12th, Mirrors, carpeting and shower screens on 15th and yard clean on 16th.. and walk through on 19th. Its going to be VERY tight! Now the tricky bit of organising the valuer, the final payment etc.. how did you guys go that have moved in already? the bank have said they need a week (!!) to get a report from the valuer, release funds and get a bank cheque mailed (!!) to us... I'm wondering if there is a faster way? otherwise we'll probably get an xmas overlap, which is what we don't want! I've also handed in my rental termination which is for Dec 31st. argh. moving in our xmas holidays! YUCK! LOL.

Sorry about that. Haven't been to our block to see if carpenters are there, but our trusses were delievered yesterday, so I hope they are working!! Coastie-Our site looks like a bomb has gone off on it. Crap everywhere. Concrete all over the place and we aren't even near bricking. With my last build (Coral Homes), each tradie had to clean up their own mess and they actually did a good job. Naynay-Woah.....that is tight. Hope it all comes together especially after putting your notice in.

I am sure our build will go back and forth during the next few months. We had roof rails installed today. Tiles are to be delivered tomorrow and hopefully roofers will be on site tomorrow installing all the battens. Hoping to have roof done by next week some time. I think Xmas will be then hitting us all. Just hope that bricks might be done before Xmas. Can only hope.

Our blog has pics of the house as it stands. Congrats to those who have had great progress! Sarbear, our home had the same as jacknrubys plan re the recess for the tv and it is a rull recess from floor to ceiling, not just a niche in the wall. There might be a photo on one of our blog posts.. Hope that helps..! Our blog: http://durhamsadventure.blogspot.com Re: Who is building with Beechwood 1512Dec 02, 2011 1:22 pm Getting a bit about this build. BW rang me yesterday to tell me my frame is NOT TREATED. No one on site all week. Trusses still on the ground since Tues. Trusses will be done next Tues & Wed and they will spray the frame when they can organise the treatment people to get there. So in a nutshell......we have no real idea when the house will be sprayed which stops the windows, gutter, fascia, roof from going up. 'A' said he is still hopeful those things will be done before the break. And also said he will try to organise our bricks to be done over the break. Can only I suppose. Coastie- Did you get the Celebration package?? That's the one with the flyscreens, dishwasher, electric roller door, choice of front doors and 25 yr termite thing. You should have a glossy piece of paper with all the things on it. I know one thing.....at least when they stuff up, BW will do the right thing and try their hardest to help you.

We actually had the other package first but sacrificed the glass splashback for the termite frame.

It is mentioned on that. Coastie, any idea how they do power connection to kitchen island bench? We have a PVC pipe spare and they have ran the hot and cold water up that. Do they also run power up that?

It is mentioned on that. Sarbear-Yep, exactly. That's where it SHOULD be written, but with mine, someone stuffed up with our final contract and forgot to put it on the final tender. Coastie- No, they can't spray now. But have a look at your tender to make sure you get what you're suppose to get. We did'nt get any real specials when we paid our deposit, which is pathetic. No specials were going at that time.
