So here is the update: As of yesterday, the builder has finally agreed that there is a problem with the roof beam and have proposed a solution...our Building inspector is happy with the solution too so we hope it will be implemented in the next couple of days(i hope!!) In the meantime, construction has progressed to roof tiles being completed( i know - they have finished roof tiles before fixing the roof beam issue - now they will have to fix it working from underneath ) We would be more excited about it if not for the roof beam issue! I know you all want pics now...this is all i have atm...will upload more later Side of the house: http://s869.photobucket.com/albums/ab255/salag22/?action=view¤t=DSCN2618.jpg the bricks(Jurien) are a lot more pinker than we expected.... will do pics overload hopefully over the weekend. Building with Celebration homes SOR Perth [color=#BF00BF] Re: Our little Oasis in Perth... Wroof Wroof" 56Aug 16, 2010 6:46 pm Hey Sara Our final plans went back today. We are now on the start list now. We have been told 10 working days from tomorrow until siteworks / slab will be started. It feels like its dragging out now however the extra time taken means we can save more I guess. I hope our place is done by mid feb as we have to be out of our rental by then. Hows your roof going? Are you at lockup now? Re: Our little Oasis in Perth... Wroof Wroof" 57Aug 24, 2010 10:06 pm Hi sara, has your roof beam problem been sorted out now? Hopefully they have also started on the float inside and maybe even whiteset?? Pop some pics up if you can! Built with Sw1tch H0mes >Build thread< House status 15/12: Gates and A/C finally installed!

Wroof Wroof" 60Sep 06, 2010 3:47 pm Hi everyone, First sorry about not updating my thread - has been reallly hectic with lots of stressful things happening...but all sorted now and we are heading to bali in 2 weeks for a 10 day much needed holiday! Yay!!! ok now back to the house: We were locked up last wednesday!!!!!! Since then : Shelves for pantry, WIR , WIL and all bedrooms have been completed and Bathtub was delivered last friday... cant post pics because its blocked from work Will do so if I can frm home!!!!! wazafi Just wondering ...... who engaged the building inspector? Is it a statutory requirement through the builder or you engaged them privately? It is not a requirement to have a building inspector - but being first time builders,we thought it was best to. And it has been completely worth it!!!! Hope all your building is coming along well!!!!

Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 12983 1 10973 |
