Re: Building Simonds Amberlea - Keys 305May 28, 2012 1:01 pm I'm going to start the whole knockdown and rebuild journey with Simonds Villa Grande (Tender Appointment coming up on 18/06). Thanks to your blog and posts ! I'm glad you've done it. Thanks for sharing your story! Re: Building Simonds Amberlea - Keys 306May 28, 2012 9:38 pm Hi, we have moved in and that in itself is a long story, but telstra has been kind not to give us a home phone or internet until end of July, or at least that is what they said, so when it is all up and running again I will post videos and photos and tell you about the house. What I can say is that we are settled and happy with most things, I think the worst thing has been renting. ttva, I will look forward to reading your thread and blog bronj, yippee!!!! kranzy, did you settle? doublej, have you had pci? thanks Mclaren, really like living here, even though I still had to clean a rental before I could even tackle this house. Also thanks everyone who has dropped by to have a read, I have found writing about building has been such a stress relief. Now we are off to fill other peoples bins with our excess recyclable rubbish from the move, we will wear our black tracksuits and beanies so no-one will recognise us. hubby, kids and me all waiting for the Amberlea Site Cut 27 September 2011 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46637 http://www.dscml.com/ Re: Building Simonds Amberlea - Keys 307May 28, 2012 9:44 pm Good to hear from you edscl, make sure that ou do not get caught lol Our PCI is on next Monday and I have learnt a lot from your thread. I am going to call Telstra now to connect my phone so when we move they will have an active connection.

Re: Building Simonds Amberlea - Keys 309Jun 04, 2012 1:31 pm great news edscl, I have settled and moved in, not sure if you read bronj thread but all in and happy and yes we do not have telsta on yet. We were lucky that our site bin was empty and our SS said we could throw our moving in boxes etc in before they came and took it away. Now to the landscaping!!

Re: Building Simonds Amberlea - Keys 312Jun 01, 2014 10:20 pm jumped on to see what is happening out there with other builds, good to read posts. I will update our blog when we have time hubby, kids and me all waiting for the Amberlea Site Cut 27 September 2011 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46637 http://www.dscml.com/ Re: Building Simonds Amberlea - Keys 313Nov 24, 2015 8:27 am Hi edscl, I am not sure if you still check this blog. We are in the middle of getting our house built. We have chosen Blackwood bricks. But I saw very obvious black marks/flecks on a lot of the bricks (tried to upload image but could not figure out now). I was searching for people who has built with the same brick and your post came up. I must say I found it very helpful. It looks to me that there were similar marks/flecks on your bricks when they just got laid but later on the flecks got blended better into the bricks? Was my guess correct? Thank you. Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess.
