Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds 48Apr 15, 2014 11:02 pm Thanks for the replies Firstly I'd like to apologize for the really bad quality photos!! Camera phone in very poor lighting (damn day light savings ending ) does not produce quality images.

My hubby and I have built in Waterford Rise! Welcome to the neighbourhood! Can't wait to see the progress of your house! Hi there! Thank you Waterford Rise seems to be developing so quickly! I remember seeing a thread on this forum about your place, I think I drive past your place to get to mine. Your the second on the left up Skyline Dr yeah? Your forum name rings a bell, I think it's your number plate? Haha, keen observation skills there! But yup, that is us! Please excuse the front yard!! The budget hasn't stretched to front landscaping yet but we're getting there haha. The estate is certainly developing quickly! When we bought it was just the land sales office, some gravel roads & paddocks! The change in the last 12 months has just been insane! We went for a walk up your street on the weekend, will keep an eye out on your build! It's super exciting! Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds 50Apr 16, 2014 12:05 am Haha no worries I'm up there that often for both work and my house I'll probably see you around Mines the second one up on the left I know there is another house at slab stage at the top of my street.

Ours was up within days of the slab, but on saying that you have to make sure it's all set. We had a builder friend also come and check it ensure it was all good Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds 52Apr 16, 2014 7:54 am Thanks for the photos! Your frame will be up before Easter, we seemed to blink and a couple of days after slab we had something that looked more like a house. Or the start of one. Exciting stuff, and great that we're only a couple of days apart in progress so we can continue to compare notes during the build Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds 53Apr 16, 2014 10:35 pm ...and the frame has started!! I can't believe they can do this the day after the slab has been poured!

Are you having an inspector at any of your stages? Yes, we were SO tempted to sneak through the open gate and go for a stroll around the build but we managed to restrain ourselves. That first opportunity to wander around the 'rooms' is awesome though Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds 56Apr 17, 2014 5:39 pm homeontherange How exciting, it looks great! Are you having an inspector at any of your stages? Hmm I haven't arranged anyone in particular, I will get any tradies I know to walk through with me whenever I can throughout the build. Have you arranged someone?

Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds - Framing has begun! 58Apr 22, 2014 12:47 pm Trusses, windows & slider doors are in! Pics tonight!! I wouldn't have thought they would be done yet considering Easter and with today's weather. I'm guessing they may have done it Saturday. Hopefully I'll get to walk through it tomorrow for the first time!

I was quite surprised to be honest Re: Chris' Dakota by Simonds - Trusses & windows done! 60Apr 22, 2014 1:43 pm Great!! Looking forward to the pics... We went for a drive around Bluestone Estate (where our build is) and we also saw trades working on the Saturday on a few builds... We see them quite a lot on normal weekends, but I was very surprised to see anyone out over the Easter weekend.
