Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 542Oct 16, 2015 10:22 pm Have tonight submitted a complaint to the ombudsman as apparently the NBN line needs to be live to have a home phone and by law we HAVE to be provided with access to a land line. Would be good if anyone here could also do the same Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 543Oct 17, 2015 6:10 am Do you have any details on how to do that Jakki? Is it just online somewhere? Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 545Oct 18, 2015 4:32 pm Hi JakkiT, my husband and I are in the area and are already connected to NBN. Expedition Blvd, Macquarie Pde, Hareway Grove, Aurora Cct and Hurley Way are ALL live and serviceable - we know people on all these roads that are connected to NBN already. My husband works for a major Telco - if you'd like to PM me your details and I can have him contact you. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 546Oct 18, 2015 7:50 pm Thanks lincoln29, yep and that's why we can't understand why it's not live on our street and wont be until at least January (that's from NBN themselves) - we are the section straight on from the roundabout. Thankyou-I will PM you now Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 547Oct 23, 2015 7:32 pm We had our PCI yesterday and should get the keys Tuesday/Wednesday! Still waiting to hear about the internet stuff-they are going to update me Monday Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 549Oct 23, 2015 9:31 pm It was sooooooo good! VERY impressed! You wont have any issues-Kenny goes above and beyond Just be prepared for a few things: You need a plumber to connect the tank water to the house and do a cross check and issue a certificate to make sure the recycled water is ONLY to the toilets and outside. The builder also gives you one. You need both certificates before the council will connect the recycled water. It's costing us $300 for that We MUST have security screens on ALL external doors. So we need 4. They need to meet bushfire BAL 12.5 (I think). I can pass on a number to anyone who wants to get a quote from the guy we have ordered from as he was over 1k cheaper than the others Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 550Oct 23, 2015 9:38 pm Thanks Jakki I was aware of the plumber, but had no idea about the screens? Do they need to be done before your in? The only thing I remember reading about screens was that you couldn't have one on the front door! Would be great if you could pass on the number, need to save all the $$ we can Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 551Oct 23, 2015 9:47 pm I'm not sure, they didn't say when but we got on to it and ordered them anyway. Yes it's odd as the encumbrance says we can't have them but to meet bushfire regs we HAVE to have one! I also don't think they can tell us we can't have security on our own home? A couple of other houses there have screen doors. We are going with the frame/border only and the alimesh. No pattern/bars etc on them. We are happy to meet bushfire regulations over an encumbrance. We also have to have that foam weather stripping stuff around the doors-i hate that stuff! I will pass on that number next time I'm at the computer with my phone. Screen doors aren't cheap but this guy was great to deal with so he won me over with his customer service too. Also, we called this guy today as we haven't heard back from a few guys that have come to measure out the retaining walls-he was there within 15 mins, he's local and was friendly. Jon Back 0419 158 375 retainingall@gmail.com Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 553Oct 25, 2015 9:34 am We ordered screen doors through this guy, we was over $1000 cheaper than anyone else! GREAT customer service too-always a winner in my eyes! He is coming to do a measure at our place this week so if anyone else wants to get measured for a quote give him a call and he can do them at the same time Brett 0448 794 422 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 554Oct 26, 2015 10:51 am Thanks Jakki, I might give him a call today - do you know what day he is coming this week? So we need screens on all the doors, yeah? Our back sliding door already has one... So we'd need - laundry door, front door and garage door? Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 555Oct 27, 2015 2:16 pm Thanks JakkiT we will give him a call. It was nice meeting u on the weekend and thanks for all the info Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 556Oct 29, 2015 7:59 pm Hi Everyone We have been off the radar for awhile as we sold our house in O'Halloran Hill at the end of Sept and have moved to a rental in Happy Valley but have been waiting 4 weeks to get the internet connected it finally happened today. You must be so excited Jakki to be able to get into your home you won't' know yourself with all the space for yourselves and children. Our slab has been finally poured but not without mistakes which now need to be rectified just hoping this is not a sign of things to come. Statesman our building on lot 51 and 53 the latter has just got bank approval so should be up and going soon so most blocks on that side are going to be finished by the middle of 2016 so heres hoping NBN will definitely be sorted out by January. Mahalia are you going to be in before Xmas as your home looks almost finished? Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 557Oct 30, 2015 9:25 am Not a problem prutherford-nice meeting you too. Screendoor Brett said he will look after everyone-I have a sample of the mesh he uses at my house so if anyone wants to pop by to have a look - feel free. It's super thick. Vogue-how exciting!! Some movement! Yay! What issues were there? Doesn't sound good. No internet is a pain! I heard from Devine and apparently the NBN will be done mid-late November now! Woohoo! I'll just have to use a prepaid one until then. I was at the house until 4am this morning painting before the carpets arrived at 7am lol! Hubby and Charlotte slept there last night as he had to be there to let the carpet layers in and she wanted to walk to school. We let her walk home yesterday-she thinks it is fantastic! I can't wait to get in there-I think Sunday will be my first night there. I am so looking forward to lots of space and tonnes of storage! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 559Oct 31, 2015 7:34 pm Do you work at Spotlight Shell? I'm a frequent visitor! I also just ordered a lot of timber venetians and some roman blinds online but we need a panel track one for the laundry also - are they online?
