Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 05, 2013 2:34 pm Hi, I've been looking at this site for a few months & now that we finally have our slab and our brickies start tomorrow I thought I would put in my own post. We are building with Home Group WA (Scott Park Homes) The Retreat in Aveley this is our first time building and we are so excited! I hope we made all the right decisions and the comprimising I did with my partner were worth it lol Re: Building in Aveley, Vale. Home Group WA, The Retreat 2Feb 05, 2013 3:10 pm Hello and welcome to the forum Do you have any pics of your slab and house plans - we are pic hungry lot on here Our custom Gemmill Home in Bedfordale WA Build thread:https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53788 Timeline on page 1 Re: Building in Aveley, Vale. Home Group WA, The Retreat 4Feb 05, 2013 4:19 pm I've found the easiest way to add pics/plans is to use Photobucket. Once you put the pic in there, just click in the IMG code box and it copies the code which you can then paste straight into here. I think there is a thread floating around somewhere with more in depth instructions.

I think you may be using the wrong image link - the one you need is "IMG code" Our custom Gemmill Home in Bedfordale WA Build thread:https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53788 Timeline on page 1 Re: Building in Aveley, Vale.

Home Group WA, The Retreat 16Feb 06, 2013 12:20 pm I just realised that I put your pics up but didn't look over them... DOH I love the changes you have made to your plan Extending and closing of the theatre will make it a great room. I also love the fact it is separated from the bedrooms. Great news on the brickies starting today!! It is amazing how quickly the house starts to transform. It seems like nothing happens for such a long time then once the brickies start there is so much new stuff to see every day! Do you live close to where you are building?

Home Group WA, The Retreat 18Feb 13, 2013 12:24 pm A week later and still not brick layers after a call last Wednesday they said end of the week latest Monday, I call Monday they said latest Tuesday and it's now Wednesday and noone from the office is returning my call, they obviously know I'm not happy, so dissapointing starting to regret our choice of builders A dream house coming true... Re: Building in Aveley, Vale. Home Group WA, The Retreat 19Feb 13, 2013 12:35 pm Urgh, it's so frustrating waiting for things to happen!!! Hang in there, the brickies will start (perhaps they are waiting for the weather to ease up) and then it'll fly along from then.

Home Group WA, The Retreat 20Feb 13, 2013 1:02 pm I hope they start soon. Its been so frustrating that when they want everything done by us asap we get to it but when we do nothing happens. If were not 100% handoverby october we lose our front landscaping package so we really need things to get done asap. Nearly been 12 months since weve had settlement on our land I hated seeing sand for so long but to see bricks sitting on a sslaband being 2.5weeks over the time argh ok vent over over lol.
