Congratulations looking forward to the blog updates! Re: Building the Drysdale 30 63Aug 04, 2013 9:22 am Thanks Everyone! Mumma DJ, we might just do that! We've had some 'real' champagne sent over by friends living in France! It arrived the day we heard about settlement! Good timing! We might have to open one of the bottles on the land after settlement! Re: Building the Drysdale 30 64Sep 04, 2013 9:20 am Any updates guys? Really keen to see how you're getting on! Re: Building the Drysdale 30 65Sep 04, 2013 10:03 am Hi Metroid Nothing happening atm. Just waiting for our date - hubby is going to call our BC today and see if she can tell us the start date yet (we were told we'd know early this week). We had final contract drawings signing last week and our planning permits are all done. So it won't be long! It feels unbelievable that we will be starting our build in the next few weeks! I'm sure when it does start I'll be pinching myself to check I'm not dreaming - I've wanted to build for soooo long! Re: Building the Drysdale 30 66Sep 04, 2013 10:06 am I know feels exactly the same with us as our slab goes down today! Its so good to see things starting to happen! Re: Building the Drysdale 30 68Sep 04, 2013 10:33 am At risk of hijacking the thread (not my intent), handover for us is tomorrow on our Drysdale! There are still a bunch of things outstanding, the builders will be working like made today and tomorrow morning to finish it off, but with a bit of luck this journey will soon be over.

Our site scrape was 7th August and have only had one work day where nothing was done. It's moving at a cracking pace so far, look forward to following your build Re: Building the Drysdale 30 71Sep 09, 2013 10:04 am Wahooooooo!!!! Site cut is scheduled for the 16th!!!!!!

I think it is so funny to see the crossover thingy as at a Knockdown Rebuild evening we went to with PD, they said they can't use those due to OH&S..!!!! At least it will protect your concrete. Hows has cracks in it. Re: Building the Drysdale 30 76Sep 11, 2013 9:31 am MummaDJ Well done Inglewood. Portaloo and the Cage are always exciting.

Hows has cracks in it. If your crossover has been cracked by the builder, make sure they fix it before handover or the council will hit you for the replacement costs (at least $400 per segment). It was one of the last steps in handover for us - our SS had a form for us to sign confirming they hadn't damaged the crossover.

Bit of shared responsibility for cracks I believe from the knockdown and them. Re: Building the Drysdale 30 79Oct 07, 2013 12:14 pm Take two...
