I'm back online today finally got it all set up Looks like I have some catching up to do. Less than a week to PCI wahoo! Re: Burbank SOHO2400- looking through the windows lol:-)*pic 282Sep 19, 2012 7:20 am Stace! How's it all going? Just found out the NBN isn't ready so looks like wel be using the wifi, hopefully there's a signal! Did you get a blind on ur sidelite? We don't have one and it says in the contract that sidelites are included in the blinds package? Re: Burbank SOHO2400- looking through the windows lol:-)*pic 283Sep 19, 2012 7:55 am Ours is translucent so we don't need one. But yes it should be included. Our translucent window in the bathroom we paid $95 to upgrade and it's only a film put over the window like you get from bunnnings and it's all pealing from the corner real bad! That sucks that the NBN isn't ready as the sales guy said it would be by June/July this year? Have they said when? Do you have normal tv points and a normal antenna how will you watch tv? My parents house only has NBN points. They are in the same stage, but their house is only framed. We don't have NBN in our stage so we didn't do the cableing for it. Wifi on my phone was nearly non existent, but I am with Voderfone and you need to be with Telstra to get a signal down here apparently.

Re: Burbank SOHO2400- looking through the windows lol:-)*pic 286Sep 19, 2012 2:11 pm dazandstace Just spoke to my stalker. She's a lovely lady who lives in our estate & built with Simmonds. She would do daily drive bys of our build and update me at work Anyways she has nbn only in her stage and had been told anytime from now until 2014 the nbn will be connected there!!! Its such crapola! I asked the developers so many times if it was going to be ready by the end of the year, weve pretty much wasted 4k on a fibre optic package cause we were told no antennas allowed. I had an email from the engineer who said the NBN website wasnt up to date and 7 will be done when the rest is done, xxxxx fingers crossed it will happen by the end of the year, I wont hold my breath I have just got off the phone to burbank cause we have an antenna included but it hasnt been put up cause they thought wed have fibre. so now they have to organise the install for that, dont know why were bothering tho... sh1t reception in Leopold. Anyways all I can do is look forward to moving into our house Ive organised insurance today, Stace who did your fencing? and did you get your concreteing done? trying to find reliable tradies who will actually show up to do a quote! Re: Burbank SOHO2400- looking through the windows lol:-)*pic 287Sep 19, 2012 9:10 pm No haven't done concreting yet because we need to do our retaining wall first. We are going to use the concrete kings. They turn up to give a quote unlike others that never call back we had 3 of these! Our neighbour did our fencing he works for barwon residential fencing. Just on the tv reception we paid someone to replace all our tv antenna cables with real good quality ones and our reception improved dramatically.

SETTLEMENT 8/10!!!! ONLY A COUPLE OF ISSUES: My main issue- tradie has used my toilet and exploded himself all over the rim ss says clean has already been done and I shouldnt expect the house to be perfectly clean Hubbys issues- .theyve put the wrong color door handles on, but Im happy with them so told them not to change them. .no holland blind on sidelite, was told holland wont fit but could do a veneitian I declined. .shower screen door has been put on the wrong side, will be fixed! .lots of painting touch ups, but only cause hubby paints for a living he was quite anoying .the back cornor of the house is not level ss is looking into the building standards to see how much out there allowed to be.... not sure how theyd fix it anyways? pull the whole back of the house down and start again? I doubt it! .clothesline and antenna wasnt installed. ss unclear on antenna cause our liason hasnt passed on the message that we need one? great communication there its in our contract so it better be there for 2nd inspection.
