Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Got land need house to fit 475sqm, approx 16 w and 28 d 41Apr 30, 2013 9:53 pm After several weeks of patience and initial advice we would be starting on 19th April, we can now officially announce that the Builder goes to site this Thursday 2nd May. Not even turned a sod just yet but is damn exciting to be underway soon after being some 6 months in the making to get to this point.

Looking forward to seeing photos of your build and selections, Miss Mia. We are building in Charles Sturt Council area too. Re: Got land need house to fit 475sqm, approx 16 w and 28 d 43May 01, 2013 4:24 am congrats miss mia how did you go with the start have you a slab yet Re: Got land need house to fit 475sqm, approx 16 w and 28 d 44May 05, 2013 10:19 pm No slab yet Rocky, just what is now a tidy block of dirt......damn heavy equipment already damaged the council verge though dammit....Why common sense would not prevail and they use the 'existing' driveway which would make sense to us.

Re: Got land need house to fit 475sqm, approx 16 w and 28 d 48May 14, 2013 9:30 pm Thanks for logging the fantastic pictures Gristy showing the artistic feature of our temp fencing and port a loo being pushed over on to our trenches thanks to the local Dheads amusing themselves and earning their Centrelink/Newstart money that we pay for by working hard (okay maybe not hard) during the day. If there was any positive it made the SS call us and confirm what Tony Greig would have confirmed when testing the pitch with hes key and tell all that play has been abandoned due to rain for the time being !!

Miss mia did you get slabbed today? Re: Got land need house to fit 475sqm, approx 16 w and 28 d 60May 16, 2013 9:22 pm Nothing slabbed today, would assume following mesh laid yesterday the Engineering consultant will need to give green light that everything is in order to meet their recommendations as per the Engineering report. Bit of dry weather next few days and hopefully slab next week, not that we have heard from SS since the one and only meet before things started so your guess is as good as ours at the moment...
