Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5824Jul 09, 2015 6:31 pm Lol TNC I had a peak at your blog - your build is going so quick! It's awesome Shell90 I can't wait to see pictures. We didn't get concrete after all hubby was there as they had finished up on our block today and they say Monday for a slab. Hope the weather is kind until then! Oh and I hate the DEB it's massive there's going to be some serious landscaping to be done to hide it https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5825Jul 09, 2015 6:50 pm Rain is not what we need. Have a leak in the garage and as the ceiling gyprock is up in there...you get my drift. Thanks Callie and marina12... so do I. Surely it has to improve from here on as I don't think it could get much worse. Did you get your slab today Mgardz? Fantastic shell90! Pictures are worth more than a 1000 words... Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5827Jul 09, 2015 7:03 pm Slab for you tomorrow Mgardz, yeeehaaaa! Most long anticipated slab on this forum . Daily chuckle ... My long awaited final brickclean finally took place today & the guy said to me "but i've already been here and spent half a day on the final clean". So i wander around to show him where to clean ....And of course i managed to find nothing to do (well, almost ... Luckily he had completely missed repaired brickwork on the side of the garage & i made him redo a spot on the alfresco & the portico area). Moral to story ... No-one ever told me he had come a month or more ago, i didn't go around checking every day & simply presumed not done! And kept harassing my SS. Poor guy didn't even get paid by M for today .... But i now don't feel too bad as at the end we had a chat (he asked if our house was a santorini or villina!) & it so transpires he is about to embark on building a villina elite!! He had already taken photos on our alfresco to show his wife, and gave him the tour inside where he asked if he could snap more pics to show his wife ... So i now feel redeemed!!! 2013 1st tender 24/10 Dep. 18/11 2014 5% 25/02 CDC approval 5/5 Demo 26/5 Pool 3/7 Valid'n 10/7 Slab 11/8 Frame 19/9 Bricks 23/10 2015 Roof 3/12 Lock up 11/2 PCI 31/3 Final insp. & keys 30/4 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5828Jul 09, 2015 8:01 pm Your hone look awesome Callie and Bu Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5829Jul 09, 2015 8:02 pm Your house look awesome Callie and builderbob.great progress. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5830Jul 09, 2015 8:21 pm Slab will be Monday if it does not rain (bet it does and gets delayed - typical for my build) Not sure why they can't just do it tomorrow. But hey at least the first progress claim won't happen for a little while yet lol Anyway, hopefully the nice tradie has a better experience with M he sure deserves it https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5831Jul 09, 2015 8:29 pm Nearly six weeks waiting for brickies.

Yeah it seems to be going smooth (hope I didn't jinx it). Our SS said roof should be done by Tuesday cause our bricks will be arriving on Wednesday and he's scheduled the bricklayers Thursday onwards. Seems like it's a tight schedule lol. Let's hope it doesn't rain so you get your slab! Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5833Jul 09, 2015 8:50 pm Thanks - man your SS is on the ball! Ours seems the same it's pretty much all systems go since excavation. Hope it continues. Edmondss what area are you building in? https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5834Jul 09, 2015 9:01 pm Yeah he seems pretty awesome. I'd send him a random text and he'd message back pretty quick... If he doesn't message back the same day, he ends feeling bad so he'll call me instead and we end up chatting for a while. Lol I'm loving your night time shots as well. I can never get a day time shot unless I'm working from home Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5835Jul 09, 2015 9:14 pm Wow edmondss that's a long wait for brickies. Have my fingers crossed they turn up very soon. MGardz can't wait to see your slab! I'm sure it will be a beauty! We just lost our brickies but we did get a rather nice looking scaffold Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'm glad they don't have work scheduled for a little while as we have a forecast for snow. Can M claim snow days? Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5836Jul 09, 2015 9:22 pm Hi Mgardz - we're building in the Hills District. We were hoping to be in my Christmas because we are in a unit that gets pretty hot in the summer not to mention paying mortgage and rent. Looking pretty unlikely at the moment Loving everyone's pics Masterton - Jamison Validation 10/03/2015 Slab 18/04/2015 Frames 30/05/2015 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5837Jul 09, 2015 9:27 pm Edmondss Nearly six weeks waiting for brickies. Brickies - whatever I've done to offend you - I'm sorry Please come visit us soon Edmondss we had a 2 week wait initially & then 2 weeks between first & second floor... It killed me! If i were currently in your shoes, i would have chewed off my arm & that of my SS & everyone who dared come near me by now. That is excruciatingly long!!! Has your SS given an update as to when they will start? 2013 1st tender 24/10 Dep. 18/11 2014 5% 25/02 CDC approval 5/5 Demo 26/5 Pool 3/7 Valid'n 10/7 Slab 11/8 Frame 19/9 Bricks 23/10 2015 Roof 3/12 Lock up 11/2 PCI 31/3 Final insp. & keys 30/4 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5838Jul 09, 2015 9:57 pm Mgardz, we received the same letter from the air con company. I haven't signed it yet though... We are finally seeing some progress! We had our piers done today. Hoping the weather stays good over the next week so our slab can be finished! Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 5839Jul 09, 2015 10:03 pm My fingers are crossed for you Edmondss, that's a long time to be waiting, I'm with Villinaeliters on that one. God help M and my SS if it happens to us lol. TNC the only day shots I seem to get are action shots, tonight I couldn't see the pods it was so dark from outside of the locked fence but maybe tomorrow. Bleaky looks great! Any progress is good Does everyone's SS tell them what's expected that week or do you have to ask them? https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ 4 16960 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16220 Hi all I am looking to run a water line under my concrete footpath which is directly next to my home, was seeing if this is possible without cutting the entire section… 0 20402 |
