Browse Forums Building A New House Re: MrsT12s AM530 - Roofed 41Jan 26, 2014 9:38 pm Well the plumbing is looks like a black PVC pipe that runs across your roofing beams we actually go onto our site even though we are not meant to Yea seems you are at the same phase as us and out bricks were delayed, so I would like to think that you will receive them this week, but it also depends if they have Brickies available, we had to wait for them to finish another job Re: MrsT12s AM530 - Roofed 42Jan 26, 2014 9:53 pm Oh cool, well there you go! I hadn't even noticed that (because I didn't know what to look for I guess lol) Yeah I'm sure it depends on where things have to go and where tradies have a lot of work on. I'm sure they use a few different tradies depending on location (like an eastern mob, some in the west, and others in the north or something like that?) so it's probably luck of the draw! - MrsT Brought first house in 2008.

Re: MrsT12s AM530 - Roofed 44Jan 28, 2014 8:40 pm Hubby spoke to the SS today and apparently bricks and plaster will both be started next week so I had to jump and quickly organize our inspection! Hopefully everything lines up ok. - MrsT Brought first house in 2008. Renovated...a LOT. Built in 2013.

Just hope that they would start it already it's going so slow at the moment Re: MrsT12s AM530 - Roofed 47Jan 29, 2014 5:37 pm New Home Inspections Ari I'm pretty confident our SS is doing a good job so would be surprised if there were any big issues. We booked it for Thursday (next week) so will find out then! - MrsT Brought first house in 2008. Renovated...a LOT. Built in 2013.

But omg we have so much to do! - MrsT Brought first house in 2008. Renovated...a LOT. Built in 2013.

Except Mainvue seems to be a little more expensive Re: MrsT12s AM530 - Roofed 57Feb 01, 2014 9:54 pm Our bricks got delivered! Confirmed my suspicion, they look totally different colors in different lights lol. I saw them in the super bright arvo sun and they looked one color, then again around sunset and they were more the color I was hoping for. That's ok though, where we're building is notoriously crappy weather so should be overcast and the color I like more often than not :p - MrsT Brought first house in 2008. Renovated...a LOT.

Are you closer to Melbourne? In our area couldn't find 600 size block. That's a good size block with lot of possibilities in the backyard. Any plans for pool, fruit trees, veggie patches, chock nook? MV has lovely houses, and you are going with one of their best plan. Good luck with your build. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15019 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
