Re: Re: OMG what are we doing - Bank Give Final Approval 763Jun 03, 2013 9:46 pm Onewheel & unrealhome yes having money certainly makes building a home easier, even if it is not our money, it does make the 'reality' of building more real.

Re: Re: OMG what are we doing? 765Nov 14, 2013 11:33 am Long time no post We are still at a bit of a stand still at the moment. Might have to sell up and forget about building. Everyone will probably think we are being very fussy or unrealistic, I just think we are not being pushy enough. Believe me if you knew the whole story you might understand but it is not something to talk about on a building forum.

Believe me if you knew the whole story you might understand but it is not something to talk about on a building forum. Sorry to hear that, especially after all the research and time you have put into the process already. Building a house is such a big spend, you do need to have everything just right, otherwise you would regret it after the house is built.

You have to do what's right for you. Sad this dream may not turn out but you will get a new one which will be just right. All the best with the decision that you make. Re: Re: OMG what are we doing? 768Nov 21, 2013 3:21 pm Thanks Onewheel and UpsizeTime, we didn't think it would be this hard to build a home. Doesn't even have any 'fancy bit's' to the design. Every builder that we have spoken to over the last 18 months seem to just want to run and hid in the broom cupboard when we say we have a 1 - 1.5m drop on the block and we have bushfire restrictions. Yet other people can build in FZ firezones and people with 8 m drops can build their homes. REALLY starting to get a complex about people not liking us Re: OMG what are we doing? 772Dec 13, 2013 9:45 pm Sorry to read this. Not knowing what's going on except it being a more difficult block I'm not sure what to say. UpsizeTime Sad this dream may not turn out but you will get a new one which will be just right. All the best with the decision that you make. I hope the path to your dream whatever it turns out to be becomes clearer soon. Re: OMG what are we doing? 773Dec 14, 2013 8:25 am Hi carak, Sorry to hear about your built process. My block had a 2.5m drop and also had bushfire restrictions.. I did have a few builders who were not interested and quoted very high site costs but I managed to find other builders who were okay to alter their designs to make this happen and allowed me to complete the build. If you like I can pm you the details.. Do understand that the land profile can vary . Cheers Re: OMG what are we doing? 774Dec 15, 2013 6:02 pm This is not good news Carak - surely 2014 has to provide some options ?! Re: Re: OMG what are we doing? 775Dec 16, 2013 3:39 pm Sorry, I can't say anything. Hopefully soon but at the moment life is not good.
