Latest pics up 125May 15, 2011 11:19 am Gee its looking really good Cant wait to get to this stage,things are coming together & you can see what has taken months of planning & thinking. Bet your getting itchy feet! Have you found an inspector was needed,His picked up some brick work,was it a big prob was this something you would have noticed & were there any other probs. We are prob having one,as we know nothing about building a house & my man works away,we will just feel better. And its great to have a hat on before all the rain comes,think we may be starting the build during the rain,delays,delays! cheers Block bought 1st RBC X! 2nd Ventrua,Keeper!

Latest pics up 126May 15, 2011 4:17 pm Yeah we are getting itchy feet. It will be easier working out the back rather than having to plan to drive there and spend a day as I am at the moment. I really wanted to go with an inspector after the stuff around we have had with the builder so far. I wasnt leaving anything to chance when it comes to the build. The cost of an inspector to the cost of the house is not much and then you know that things are going to be done right.

He helped me out alot. They still are being helpful when I call. Id recommend them to anyone! We have had a few probs with bricking and some of the roofing supports not right. We are also on our 3rd CLO with the builder as they keep leaving. My tip is to email the builder so you have a record rather than tlaking on the phone only. Its helped me out a couple of times.

Bob reminds me of a old fashioned country bloke though i know his not. The sort of bloke that you deal on a handshake & thats your word,if you follow.

Have they given you any clues on PCI? no we were only told 6-8 weeks. they have to move the kitchen island bench as its not centre and redo the bulkhead.
