Quote: Congratulations……I can hear in your voice (writing) how excited you are! You're right, MIchelle............. I'm so excited!!!!!!!! Quote: Updates, often or look out! Promise....... I'll have frequent updates and lots of photos! My blog is almost up-to-date, will share it here once it's done! Quote: well done VJ you have joined us on the building journey ... and hopefully no more rubbish dumping. Clath, I really hope there's no rubbish on our block this weekend... that's one thing missing in our blog, we don't have a photo of us or just our block when it was still clean (hehe). the shots we took when we 1st bought it were all gone (files got corrupted). we have recent photos, but not clean anymore  Quote: Welcome to the best / scariest part.... the actual building. Yes, that's how we feel at the moment... happy but scared... We have lots of expectations, having gone through a lot before we finally settled with our builder. We'll just hope for the best and enjoy the experience while we can.. We were part of your building experience, Matt. Now that you're almost (?) finished with your house, it's our turn now and we hope we get some more tips from you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: We have a site start! Finally!!! 8Nov 30, 2007 8:28 pm Thanks, vpande.
We need all the luck in the world now that we're starting. Do you think it's possible to have a slab (if we start on the 6th) before they go for the Christmas break? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: We have a site start! Finally!!! 9Nov 30, 2007 8:38 pm Hi VJ, we have been told start date is 7th Dec and that we are going to be the last slab they do before Christmas - so i would believe you would be in the same boat.....

We really like to have our slab before the Christmas break... thinking that it would cure better before they do more stuff on it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: We have a site start! Finally!!! 11Dec 01, 2007 10:11 pm excellent VJ.
There seems to be a few of us starting at the same time. I wonder who will finish first.... bets are on! Cheers Re: We have a site start!

It should be double storey against double storey, and single against single. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

Hey i've already got a bet on with Cookiemonster in Sydney - although tongue in cheek because he's building a dbl storey and mine is single. But happy to play along with the "bet" as well... We'll see how it goes - shall we???  31 May 2007 1,041 Member Re: We have a site start! Finally!!! 15Dec 03, 2007 7:29 am Who else wants a free DVD? I'll just send it now, shall I?

Quote: well think we are in the lead at the moment we have a slab and timbers been delivered for the frame. . so its been to weeks so far and its rolling along quickly. Clath, You're well ahead of us already... but it would be fun to play along this bet!

Finally!!! 17Dec 03, 2007 10:48 pm Ok
We're in ... but can I take a win and a place? Our builder has style....patience.....flair ..... and a persistently full voicemail.
I choose to believe our builder is the turtle in the turtle/hare tale. Just because he is as slow as wet week right now ... doesn't mean he won't pull it out at the end! Your on!
