Hi buildinghome123, we are in the same position as you! Paid our deposit today! Our land was supposed to be registered in oct but had been pushed back to dec already which is fine by us, happy for it to be a bit longer so we can save as much as possible. Not much is likely to happen over christmas any way. What design are you getting? We have gotten the manhatten two. Hi Tiam, good on you, we're getting the Milano 2 with contemporary facade. So we're on the same boat. Hopefully they can register it before end of this year. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 6859Aug 11, 2014 8:47 am Hi Just wondering how you go about fencing if your neighbor isn't actually building and is just sitting on the block for a while to make a profit basically. Can you still request they go halves in the fencing? Are they required to and how would you go about getting their details.

Hi buildinghome123, The only thing I can suggest is start learning to be patient 'NOW', lol. But at the same time try to enjoy the process and by doing so this allows you to save more $$$$ for all the upgrades you'll no doubt want. Hope it all goes well Thanks. I'm trying not to look on any upgrades lol. I will be doing a lot of research. Any suggestions which colour of bricks and roof are the best combo? Gosh, there's so many combos to choose from that it comes down to personal taste really. We chose to render ours so that we didn't have the dilemma of choosing a brick clolour...tho having said that, it was just as damn hard to pick what colour render to do In the end, take a look around the estate and see what other people have done and if it takes your fancy...ask them (if you see them) if they mind telling you what they chose, I've lost count of the amount of people who have either taken a pic of ours or came up to us and asked what we did and I didn't mind at all. I have no doubt that you'll be happy with your home no matter what you choose to do, good luck. Michelle Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones.
