I can't believe how quickly the build is progressing for you. It looks great so far. How have you found McJones with keeping you informed of the building stage? We are (hopefully) only about a few weeks from getting out of Council! Cheers, Vpeewee Re: Our McDonald Jones Chesterfield - Roof Underway! 63Sep 08, 2010 2:52 pm vpeewee Hey Wooduck!

Cheers, Vpeewee So far the messages, which appear to be automated from head office come through usually the day after we have done a drive by, I certainly wouldnt rely on the messages. Good luck with council, and make sure you post (or start your own thread) plenty of pics. woodduck Building The Chesterfield Grande with McDonald Jones https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=33587 Re: Our McDonald Jones Chesterfield - Roof Underway! 64Sep 08, 2010 8:22 pm Building The Chesterfield Grande with McDonald Jones https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=33587 Re: Our McDonald Jones Chesterfield - Roof Underway! 65Sep 09, 2010 8:39 am Thats good news! our build has stalled, since the SS left.

Apparently we should get bricks delivered on Friday, but it should have happened last week. Hope it speeds up for you guys. I did here that your old SS was a very good one, I guess good tradies get poached. Our bricks took longer than expected because someone didnt order enough......twice. woodduck Building The Chesterfield Grande with McDonald Jones https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=33587 Re: Our McDonald Jones Chesterfield - Roof Done 68Sep 14, 2010 9:57 pm The roof was completed as expected on friday, one single whirlybird sitting atop.

It's incredible how things start flying along isn't it. Going of BM's and Jennie's build times you should be in by Christmas for sure.
