Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 846Dec 13, 2012 3:59 am Hello everyone. Been working my way through the thread and enjoying reading it. My wife and i will be moving into 26 Cob Road in Avonlee in the next couple weeks. Was out there today with a mate and his dad from Electrical Contractors of Ellenbrook to add some extra power points and set up the connections for power and networking to the closet I'm putting a home computer server rack into. I'm so excited! I've been looking for more info on telephone and network connections in the area and coming up blank. I know the development is supposed to be NBN enabled but I'm also aware that it's not switched on yet. What are people who've already moved in doing for telephone and Internet connections? Does anyone have any concrete information on an NBN switch on date? Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 848Dec 13, 2012 10:50 am Welcomne Ozherbie, sorry dont really have much info on the NBN just that we are on the rollout schedule for January but not sure of the specifics. Roadrage did you notice our brickies on site? they only have to finish off our garage, which is basically coming up to height on two walls theyve already started, and then coming up to height on our front which is probably another 4 courses...and then our alfresco pillar!!

Hopefully they make decent progress today despite the weather. Sounds like everyone's brickies are starting to do work at the moment. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 852Dec 13, 2012 1:46 pm I have to go to the block when the workmen are not there and get a good look at what has been done. The garage was being worked on today, not sure if all the internal walls are all up yet. Hopefully I will get a progress report soon. Just wondering if they will get the wooden roof frame up before the Christmas break. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 853Dec 13, 2012 3:01 pm I was there at about 11:20, Mel, Daedalus, roadrage and Chevnut brickies were all there working. They even have a food van come out going to all the sites so they should not complain that!! Our slab has been down for 10 days now, wondering if anything will happen before Christmas. We were told slab will be down 7-10 days before anything happens. We got our soak wells sitting there. Looks like we will have two slabs coming soon by both neighbours either side of us. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 854Dec 13, 2012 3:04 pm I think it is good the other houses around you are being built at the same time. That way you won't get cracks while you are living there during other neighbours builds. Our neighbour behind us at this stage does not look like they are going to build for a while. Your timing of your slab is not great. Perhaps they will be like Mel's builders and keep going through the Christmas break. Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 858Dec 13, 2012 5:32 pm Hi all, on site 2 45pm-felt very lonely; not another soul in sight! Pleasantly surprised by our brickies having been on site earlier in the day; also had roof structure material on site! Looked like a number of frames standing between brickwork on your place Dargonk.

Sounds promising. Is that the outside walls only? Will have to see if I can make it out there this arvo. If not tomorrow I'll definitely have a good look. Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 12412 1 4973 1 2810 |
