There is a lot of windows but now majority of them are up it makes sense. Here's a few more updates from today as the top story is now complete & majority of windows are in. We were told frame work would be completed by Friday so will be interesting to see if the roof goes on over the next few days. I wish I could get upstairs.. But at this point there is no way up Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=71963&start=50#p1203154 Settlement: January 2014 Currently waiting council approval Re: Building with Simonds SA 308Oct 21, 2014 10:06 pm If only.. I want to see if we have a view. If only my partner was home, he would jump up there straight away. I'm REALLY enjoying building right about now & loving our little castle.

Can u believe that I just caught two guys loading some of my windows and bifold doors onto a hired car trailer & ute??? I went to take picture updates and there they were loading them up. I asked who they worked for and why they were taking my windows than stood behind their car whilst I demanded they put my f?kn windows back!! Scabby idiots.. But I did take photos & note of rego etc and will be making a police report tomorrow which the officer said they would be charged with attempted theft and laughed at me for standing up to them hahaha. On a positive note we have a roof I update my timeline every time something happy on the very first post on this thread so you'll get an idea of time etc on there. It's all happening very quickly now.

So I'm expecting roof to start next week. Today I went out to the house and found a ladder to get upstairs is there it's very hard to show photos of frame work so I won't bother just yet but it was pretty cool walking around up there.. Very carefully. Few more boring photos incase anyone is interested: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Upstairs.. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Back & side of house..

My CRC emailed me a month ago to book our 'contract signing' but it's still not ready ... I got confirmation today I can sign next Friday. Cleo do you think it's possible my plans have been sent to Council for approval? I know the developer has approved them (for the estate encumbrances). I hope so.
