Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 26, 2010 1:35 pm Hi All
I hope I am doing this right-am I supposed to edit my post each time or start a new topic each time I post? I'm a bit lost.. The kids walked from school to the block this arvo - took less that 2 minutes... Plans are attached below...I hope to get the elevations up tomorrow. Here are the pics of the block 605 square meters in Seascapes Mandurah....We are hoping for a slab in June... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ and the park across the road Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We are building with a local builder Great Living Homes. Jo.... We have been in the process of getting things going for over 6 months and finally it seems that things are happening!!!!! We are just waiting on settlement and are hoping for a slab to go down next month...fingers crossed. We are building in Seascapes WA on 606sqm block, opposite a lovely park and close to the kids school and beach!!! On the down side we have just read quite a few bad reviews on our builder...we will be employing a building inspector throughout the process so hopefully things will work out. I will try and attach the plans......Please note that the 3rd bathroom is to be used initially by out eldest daughter and if she ever moves out the next child will take over - we have 3 kids Jess 12, Ben 7 and Zoe 17 months. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all - any ???? and positive feedback on the plans would be appriciated...don't want to be making any changes at this late stage.... Here are photo bucket links.....hopefully they work, I have not done this before.... http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af15 ...

Re: 1st time builders..pics of the block 6Jun 25, 2010 10:35 pm Hi Jo, Shame on the slab not being down yet but hopefully when you get back there will be some action! I am in Perth at the moment so we are only going down on weekends but to my surprise we had a new tap last week, yeah!! Sounds like our kids might be going to the same school too.
