When times get tough build a house...Our second build Re: Building the Vasse @ Harrisdale WA - almost complete 63Nov 15, 2010 6:14 pm Hi Sharky, yes we're in Vertu. Your walls seem to have gone on very quickly...6 weeks only. Ours took about 8 weeks. Some lady was at the house on Saturday cleaning it....but we're still waiting for the garage door to go on. However, the neighbours builder ran over our boundary pegs with their bobcat, and now we dont know where to place it back. Fence guy is coming this week and he wont be able to fit the fence unless the peg is up...... Who's responsibility is it now to ensure the boundaries are correctly marked? 12 March 2010 - Land titles received 3 April 2010 - Signed building contract 14 April 2010 - Prestart 28 April 2010 - Loan approved 30 June 2010 - Slab completed 27 August 2010 - Brickwork completed 22 September 2010 - Roofing completed 30 September 2010 - Internal walls plastered 12 October 2010 - Lock Up 19 November 2010 - PCI 26 November 2010 - Handover 29 December 2010 - Moved In https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32584 Re: Building the Vasse @ Harrisdale WA - boundary pegs gone 64Nov 15, 2010 10:53 pm Hi allanna I would think that the neighbour's builder should fix it up, but is there any marks (spray paint/holes) at all to show where the pegs were? If so then they could just put them back. Your neighbour will want to know where the boundary is as well... ~*~Moved in on the 16th April 2011~*~ Re: Building the Vasse @ Harrisdale WA - boundary pegs gone 65Nov 16, 2010 11:03 am No obvious holes or spray marksings as the toppled peg was partially covered under the soft sand.....im thinking we should try measuring the area ourselves coz i dont know how long it would take for the neighbours builder to come around and fix it....that's assuming if they can be bothered to... Anyways here are some pics of my new driveway. Very happy with how the colours turned out, as we were abit worried how it would look once laid. We have quite abit of leftover pavers as we decided not to brickpave the alfresco....going with liquid limestone for that area.

I would have to agree, if you have the other 2 pegs then measure it up yourselves. It will be a pain in the a$$ to get the neighbor or builder to remedy it. ~*~Moved in on the 16th April 2011~*~ Re: Building the Vasse @ Harrisdale WA - boundary pegs gone 67Nov 17, 2010 11:21 am That's exactly what we did yesterday evening. Got some construction string, long measure tape and measured it all up.....gotta say we did a pretty good/accurate job Blinds were installed yesterday....so cant peek into the house anymore. The only thing remaining now is the garage door and it's done.

Everything went well, was actually pretty quick....in and out in about 30mins only. We checked everything we could think of, and glad that there were no major issues. Here's what we noted: 1) Garage door not installed yet 2) Two outdoor bunker lights not installed yet 3) Entry door no painted properly, needs touch up 4) Plaster work around a few power points needs touch up 5) Window blinds in Bedroom-2 not fitted properly SS said these would be attended to by this week, and the Final Invoice will be sent shortly after. Good news also is that our Bank's valuer has already done the valuation so as soon as we provide them with the final funds request they should be able to provide us with the cheque quickly. 12 March 2010 - Land titles received 3 April 2010 - Signed building contract 14 April 2010 - Prestart 28 April 2010 - Loan approved 30 June 2010 - Slab completed 27 August 2010 - Brickwork completed 22 September 2010 - Roofing completed 30 September 2010 - Internal walls plastered 12 October 2010 - Lock Up 19 November 2010 - PCI 26 November 2010 - Handover 29 December 2010 - Moved In https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32584 Re: Building the Vasse @ Harrisdale WA - PCI tomorrow! 71Nov 22, 2010 6:11 pm Woohoo Alannah that's so exciting!!

You'll be able to enjoy christmas in your lovely new house ~*~Moved in on the 16th April 2011~*~ Re: Building the Vasse @ Harrisdale WA - KEYS tomorrow! 79Dec 01, 2010 2:27 pm So we collected our keys last Friday, all went well. We received a hamper of goodies as well. Timing was just right, because on Saturday we had our concreter lay the liquid limestone for the alfresco and laundry path. Nothing much going on this week though, except for the locksmith coming on Friday to install the deadlocks and security screens. Would you believe the labour for installing the deadlocks were as expensive as the items themselves! Next Monday & Tuesday we'll have the ducted A/C system installed, then the following week the tiler will lay our porcelain floors, then the week after the painted will start. Hopefully the painter will be able to finish up by 24 Dec, then we have a few days to pack up coz the movers are booked in for 29 Dec. Everyhing's pretty tight, so we cant afford to have any tradie delaying or taking longer than expected to finish their thing.
