You can select on that form how you want to make each payment. Our bank did a direct deposit from our loan into MJH account. Its very simple and easy. MJH sends you the invoice, then you send the invoice and the progress payment form to your bank with whatever instructions.

Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 5369Dec 02, 2013 11:31 am We have our 3 month post build review coming up this week and I was wanting to know for those of you have have already had your 3 month review, did you have any hairline cracking around your bulkheads and any cracking around window frames and doors and if so, what did MJH do about it? Does the 3 month warranty cover things like appliances? If someone could give me an indication as to what I should be looking for that would be great.

I could put it along the fence line but was worried the pump would make a noise and I didn't want to upset the neighbours, bradk. I'm Sure casabonka wouldnt have a problem with that!

They repaired and painted all the little cracks that we had in our cornices and architraves… but the house moves etc, so it’ll happen again somewhere else in the house! Just include everything on the list. Whether you think it’s a default or not, MJH will address it some way shape or form… Built the Havana 3 by McDonald Jones Homes Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 5376Dec 03, 2013 11:05 am casabonka How long did it take for your DA to show up on Council's website after it was lodged?

His latest was stage 3 to commence in new year and thats when they will be taken down. I was a bit cheeky asking if they could kind of 'bump' into the tree on my block as well, but didnt get a response to that Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 5380Dec 03, 2013 5:44 pm Today was day 11 on the construction list so this afternoon I drove past our block.
