Shaz Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Handover on 20th Dec! :) 462Jan 06, 2014 11:50 am Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year, just wanted to say we are in the house and all is good at the current stage in terms of loving the house, there are a few issues that we have forwarded to Celebration Homes today otherwise everything is okay...we have all our basic furniture and the house is live-able, fence is meant to go up the week of the 20th so I am really looking forward to that security, sorry for my silence but we had no connection from the 20th until just before New Year. Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 465Jan 07, 2014 10:33 am Happy new year Eddie! That's great to here you're enjoying your new home ![]() Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 466Jan 07, 2014 11:13 am Happy New Year Eddie, glad you're settling in and enjoying the house ![]() Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 467Jan 13, 2014 11:47 am Woke up this morning to a guy from the fencing company drilling into the limestone at the back of the house, and a ton of fence on the front of the house, so it would seem our fence is finally getting installed, will be much happier once thats done ![]() Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 468Jan 13, 2014 11:49 am Just hope you plan on uploading some more photos soon! Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 470Jan 13, 2014 11:43 pm Great news about the fencing and settling in. ![]() Building The Vines with Dale Alcock in Aveley Contract signed 15/5 Electrical Prestart 24/5 Prestart 13/6 Earthworks started 06/8 Slab Down 09/8 Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 471Jan 14, 2014 10:20 am Great news on the fence. Had a drive past the otehr night while checking our block..Looks great ![]() Once fence & front landscaping done will look fantastic!! Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 473Jan 30, 2014 12:58 pm The fencing was installed by the developer through a company called Treacey fencing. Just requested our tiles get delivered, we purchased them through a company called Designer Tile Studio in Clarkson...we payed just about $4500 for the tiles after we were recommended by someone else and the guy complained that we lived in Ellenbrook and asked if I was "having a laugh", who sells $4500 worth of tiles, complains they are taking up space "out back" and that they need delivery to Ellenbrook, great tiles though. Also was wondering if anyone was aware, do we NEED to use the free front landscaping included with the block or can we do our own thing? Don't know if its just me but I don't want the front of our house to look like the bush -.- Also, any recommendations in terms of carpet companies folks?

Some people are unbelievale are just not happy making money if it puts them out a little. Most would jump at a $4500 order even if delivery was 30-40 mins away. ![]() We're the same as you when it comes to our front. Have you contacted the landscapers to find out what they can & can't do? Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 475Jan 30, 2014 2:53 pm Eddie, you dont have to use the landscaping from stocklands. A few in our estate havent and got away with no two trees out the front. we are using the landscaping as saving any money to us is a bonus.. pretty happy with our sketch up from landscapers Home Group WA Monte Carlo Timeline on Page 1 Re: Our build in Ellenbrook - Settling In :) 476Jan 30, 2014 3:27 pm ![]() ![]() The fencing was installed by the developer through a company called Treacey fencing.

Yeah, they basically send you a PDF with your design options and limitations, and to be honest we hate them all. I can forward it to you if you like. @Nicci - We were gonna go on a drive round to see if anyone in our area had done something unique, we would jump at the options we have been given but they are pretty poor, I am not a fan of the natural bush look and thats what they are pushing.

I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17609 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23782 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23898 |
