I drive past your place everyday when I go to work and have noticed a bit of work happening to the build in front of your place. I have thought to myself they haven't left much room between their fence and the boundary and how you were going to get trucks down to your block. Good luck with the excavation of the driveway. Re: Slowest build in the world? 9Feb 08, 2011 6:32 pm Thanks Mick! Looks like we might be coming to an agreement with our neighbour's builder over the fencing - they are working it out between them.

We too just started piering last Friday, but wonder one thing....when Beechwood built our existing house 20yrs ago, the first thing they did was install a Porta-loo as a sign that work was commencing...They have worked for 2 days so far & no Porta-Loo in sight, just worries me, isn't that a workcover & council requirement, or is it a sign they're going to take their sweet time?

Hi Nina! Just came across your thread (from the Westminster thread). I recall you had a different thread. Was it you that was wanting to build a white house and were due for a baby recently??? Sorry if I have you mixed up with someone else.

I can't remember which thread we were chatting on... I am building not far from you I recall. How did the birth go?????????? I remember it was your first and your were very nervous (understandably, as is everyone). And how is your build going? (Did you have another thread that has disappeared?). Nice to find you again! (ps: We are looking to build with Westminster too now, so I am very interested to hear how you have found the process...).

Main bench top balances the kitchen better I think, (and leaves more space to plug things in near the window) but where do you keep your washing up liquid, cloths, brushes etc?!

I reckon under the window, it looks more tidier. Also , it gives you more bench space by having the sink under the window. In my current house, my sink is under the window, so when preparing or cutting food, you have all that bench space to use. That's my opinion anyway . Re: Slowest build in the world? *Pls help with my sink locat 17Aug 16, 2011 8:25 am Thanks Springtime - that's our original choice before we started thinking about it again!! Will be nice to have the whole bench clear so people can sit up there.

Can't the brushes, liquids etc. go in the cupboard beneath the sink to the left? So - have you decided on H yet?
