Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 81Mar 25, 2011 9:20 pm looking forward to seeing if there has been much progress over the last 2 days. prob getting ahead of myself but still can't believe stuff actually happening viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 82Mar 26, 2011 11:48 pm Awesome photos Gabby Cant wait to see some more progress. As for the builders wanting payment now, seems a bit odd to me. Payments shouldnt take 4 weeks...ours take about 2 days LOL, maybe check with your bank?

Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 84Mar 28, 2011 10:24 pm hehe, went up on the weekend and they are digging massive holes between the rocks. and there is one broken digger on site too. kinda funny coz the metal tracks have come off the tractor/digger/scooper thing and it's on the other side as to where they've dug out the holes, so kinda inaccessible. so i'm guessing not much got done today. still looking into the progress payment thing, did you get one?? they sent ours before they even started. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 85Mar 29, 2011 8:33 am gabbybuild10 still looking into the progress payment thing, did you get one?? they sent ours before they even started.

Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 94Apr 07, 2011 11:43 am Mclaren :z: YAY - NICE SLAB Is that you doing a slab dance in the third pic?? LOL I was going to ask the exact same thing. i think you will treasure those sorts of photos in years to come, you can show the kids how little they were when you built the house.

Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 96Apr 08, 2011 9:37 pm thanks guys, very pleased. it was fun to run around on. it was more the kids dancing around, but i do look like i'm doing a bit of a jig yeah i got fotos of the kids climbing all over the trucks for the site works too. my daughter loves climbing in them. they are at a good age that they will probably remember the whole process and how stressed and grumpy mum got during the whole process viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 97Apr 12, 2011 10:46 pm Any news or progress? we have window frames but that's it Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 98Apr 14, 2011 9:10 pm we've got big long strong looking bits of metal, all room named, very exciting, think they are for the lintels (hehe) that was what my OH said anyways. had to have a new access driveway put in for the septics to be able to go in. BOO, failed to realise that once they built up with the sand it would block access for septics. so $10k later, we are looking for an interest free loan thingy for the shed viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 We have half walls!! 99Apr 23, 2011 9:59 pm the only day we forget the camera and we rock up and have a toilet, shed, bricks and half walls up. Was just hoping to see that bricks had been delivered, seen as though my OH was up there on Wed night and there were no bricks. hoping we can get the roof on before any major wet weather so get no set backs viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 Re: Gabbybuild's build thread 100Apr 25, 2011 3:26 pm BRICKAGE PHOTOS Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me.
