PG7 142Jul 27, 2012 1:47 am Actually, I'm not sure!!!! We are getting the entire side of the house paved but they can't do it til we have the fence up. We paid extra to do that but I'm not sure if it was from the front of the garage or the back. I'll see what I can find and let you know Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI in 4 days!!!! PG7 143Jul 30, 2012 6:09 pm PCI was done today. No major dramas. Mainly cosmetic things - paint touch up, cracked bricks, mortar touch ups.... SS said 2-3 weeks til settlement. He will let me know next week of the date. It took us about 3 1/2 hours. Waiting for another quote on a retaining wall. And our blinds guy came up while we did PCI to do the final measure do waiting on the final price on those. Getting excited! Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 144Jul 30, 2012 8:14 pm That is very exciting... glad there were no dramas. Did you have an independent building inspector go through with you?

Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 145Jul 31, 2012 6:22 pm 1sttimebuilding2012 That is very exciting... glad there were no dramas. Did you have an independent building inspector go through with you? No we didn't. Went by tonight and the tilers were there finishing off the rear hallway. So happy with it! Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 146Aug 04, 2012 2:31 pm Looks like Tyrrels have done their inspection. Will be interesting to see how long it takes for everything to be finished. The driveway is finished but it looks like that is all that's been done for a few days. All the tape on the brickwork is still there. Alfresco tiles are still the same. Hopefully we will get an update this week as to when we are doing settlement.

PG8 150Aug 06, 2012 7:04 pm Update on the alfresco tiles. It seems they are in fact the correct tiles!!!! They just needed a decent clean. Unfortunately this wasn't realised until after hubby had been to Di lorenzo and had everyone running around in circles!!!! But at least that is sorted now. The bank went and did their valuation today. Hopefully we will find out our settlement date this week!

Have to get 25 tonne of dirt dumped at the house tomorrow to start leveling the back yard. We had a sticky beak in the window and they have put the cornice up around the top of the range hood. It looks great. Also noticed the wardrobe door is in my son's room. Still bits of blue tape scattered around the place but hopefully that won't be for much longer. Hoping to have a settlement date soon. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!!

Is your landscaper charging you much? _________________ Building with EBH - Saville 30 @ The Ponds Building Blog - http://rabsndee.blogspot.com 22/08 - Slab Done 07/09 - Frames 16/09 - Roof 02/10 - Bricks 26/10 - Lockup 17/01 - Settlement Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 154Aug 09, 2012 12:57 pm Not to get the dirt - it only costs to have dirt removed really. We will have to pay for the top soil (?) but yeah, this is just to level the backyard.

Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 157Aug 19, 2012 8:43 am Not yet. Should know more tomorrow or Tuesday. I am going crazy!!!!!!!! It is so close. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 158Aug 25, 2012 2:34 pm Ok I updated the EB thread but not my own!!! We have no idea what is going on now. They asked us to Moroka the front of the house rather than replacing the cracked bricks. We declined the moroka and asked when we are looking at settlement. Today during my little google I found out that our bricks are no longer being manufactured. We are now wondering if this is part of the problem. I just want it sorted out. It's been almost 4 weeks since PCI so this is just ridiculous. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 159Aug 25, 2012 6:53 pm Damn...that is sooo bad maybe consider an independant inspection and also look into getting EBH on doing a full render? _________________ Building with EBH - Saville 30 @ The Ponds Building Blog - http://rabsndee.blogspot.com 22/08 - Slab Done 07/09 - Frames 16/09 - Roof 02/10 - Bricks 26/10 - Lockup 17/01 - Settlement Our Eden Brae Saville build * PCI done!!!! PG8 160Aug 26, 2012 2:49 am We have emailed our SS asking for a few things to hopefully speed up settlement. We did think about render but we weren't particularly keen due to finding a color we would be happy with. I hope what we have put to him will be enough to keep everyone happy!
