Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 02, 2014 9:09 pm Hi everyone I have recently found this forum and wanted to share my experience with our first build. We signed with Redink March 2013 and we have just now had our brickwork finished to plate height. We have had a few minor issues along the way with site works as we are building on a half acre elevated Block with H class soil (clay) with a gradual slope as well.
I am happy to share any info and will upload picture of our progress journey. I wish I had found this forum before prestart. I will attach some pictures as soon as I figure out how Re: Building in BOYA with Redinkhomes 2Jun 03, 2014 12:21 am Hi hopeful, would love to see any pictures and floor plans. well, actually I need to stop looking at other people's plans because I keep getting new ideas and changing things any advice you have for other redinkers who aren't as far along? good luck with your build. I hope it's all smooth sailing from here. Re: Building in BOYA with Redinkhomes 3Jun 04, 2014 6:13 pm Hi Ardie do you know how I post photos on here? Thanks Re: Building in BOYA with Redinkhomes 4Jun 04, 2014 6:59 pm Hiya hopeful, Another Redinker here. Thought I would butt in since I have an answer ready to go! First of all, check this thread; viewtopic.php?f=70&t=1272 But if you can't be bothered with that, here is what I do; Step 1 - Sign up to an image hosting website. I use photobucket. Step 2 - Uploads your photos in the same way as you would on facebook back in the day. Navigate to the photo on your computer and click upload! Step 3 - Copy/paste links. On photobucket these will be on the righthand side of your photo. Copy the [img] code to your clipboard, then paste into your homeone post. Ta-da! Photobucket has a smartphone App also, which can make the process super easy if the photos are on your phone. Hope that helps Re: Building in BOYA with Redinkhomes 5Jun 04, 2014 10:19 pm What pan said I use photobucket also and couldn't have said it better myself. good luck.

The tapatalk app is also a really easy way to load photo's, you use it just like Facebook. I only found Homeone in Feb this year, after prestart, and wish I had known of it sooner. It's so helpful, and the people are just lovely. It's the one place you can gab on about your build, and no one glazes over in boredom, hahaha. We are at a pretty similar stage I guess, although you are at plate height, and we have a way to go. I wonder if some of your other trades will come across to us after you, like our brickies? We are the only Redink build so far in The Park at Helena Valley. You are lucky to have such a gorgeous big block, even though it might come with some challenges. Would love to see your house plans. Wishing you a smooth build from here on.
