Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 05, 2015 1:26 pm We purchased our land in November 2013 and have had a 20 month delay due to land registration and BAL restrictions. It is 1/2 acre river front block that is in our dream location... Will post plans later. We have all selections completed except kitchen which we are doing tomorrow. Have been told to expect earth works next week so it is starting to feel real. The house has been designed to take advantage of this view.

Well worth the wait! We used to go skiing a lot on the Hawkesbury at Sackville. Are you anywhere near there?

This is Freemans Reach so speed restrictions on the river near us mean no speed boats or skiers will go past. I love the view:) 11/11/13- dep paid 4/4/14- settlement Feb '15- DA app 6/8/15- CC site works begin 19/8/15- Formwork 25/8/15- slab 3/9/15- elect. appt 13/10/15 - frame started 19/10- bricks started 31/10 - roof done Re: Hawkesbury custom build- about to start 6Aug 06, 2015 12:25 am Great to hear your "real journey" has started.

The company was so accommodating and had some great ideas. As we had both taken a leave day, we then drove to the block and we found this happening!

Hope you guys aren't forecast rain like we are down south. Plans look great. Loe the view. Yes- rain forecast for the whole week here too:( Unfortunately it's one of those things no- one can control but it's disappointing there's been no rain for over a month and this will be the week the drought breaks! It seems our builds are on a similar time frame, KezHam so will be interesting to follow. 11/11/13- dep paid 4/4/14- settlement Feb '15- DA app 6/8/15- CC site works begin 19/8/15- Formwork 25/8/15- slab 3/9/15- elect. appt 13/10/15 - frame started 19/10- bricks started 31/10 - roof done Re: Hawkesbury custom build- we almost have a slab! 20Aug 23, 2015 11:16 pm Hope the rain stays away from your area next week and you get the slab done as planned. 18/03/15 Deposit 02/09/15 CDC 22/09/15 Slab 05/12/15 Frames 15/12/15 Brick started. 11/04/16 Roof start 04/05/16 Roof finish 09/07/16 Gyprock.

I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27694 |
