Which builder? Ours are Austral Nougat, I kind of wish we had gone a bit lighter but eventually I would like to have the brick at the front covered in the boards and painted like the bit under the verandah. We are repainting the verandah and door as I hate them Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 592Nov 10, 2015 10:25 pm Ah ok. Yeh I am worried ours look a bit brown. But yes at least there's always render or boards . viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75840&view=unread#unread Building with Statesman Homes in Myponga, SA View our thread here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75840&view=unread#unread Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 594Nov 10, 2015 11:30 pm So our frame is almost all up already! That was far quicker than I expected. I'll give our site supervisor a call tomorrow as I haven't heard from him yet, and get the goss on ETAs from here. I don't know if that means that we can expect a roof before the December break or not, which would be very exciting! Next door (Lot 53) was being cut today, which is also rather exciting. Does anyone know the owner of 53? If so can you PM me and I'll give you my details to pass on to them. I'd like to touch base with them at some stage about the retaining wall between us. Oh and JakkiT, did you guys buy in water for your move-in or have you been catching the recent rain? If you bought some in, do you have the details of the company you used? We're way off the tanks going in, but hopefully they'll be in before winter, which means no water for us unless we buy it in! _____________ Rhonda Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 595Nov 10, 2015 11:33 pm Shell01 We're lot 70 - builder is Hickinbotham. Hoping to see at least a toilet out front when I do a drive by on the weekend!! We sticky-beaked at your block today, Shel, and no toilet yet! We were trying to figure out what you need to do with your split... is it because you slope up at the front? Or were we looking at the wrong Lot 70? (And yeah... we sticky-beak at everyone's block whenever we go up there ) __________ Rhonda Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 596Nov 10, 2015 11:42 pm Yours is moving very fast Rhonda! I would imaine your roof will go on next week. it's about 4 weeks until they shut up so I would say by then you will most likely have: roof/gutters, windows, 1st fix plumbing, 1st fix electrical and possibly insulation and gyprock. I think they would maybe want to get to lock up stage to avoid theft?! I am hearing it's pretty bad. We had stuff taken and even the day before handover we have 1-yep ONE light bulb taken from outside-weird/desperate! There are always guys up here taking from the skips (and dumping loads and loads of rubbish in them-especially at night) and taking stuff like timber and bricks! We did get some water in, we got 9000l for $225 from Andys Water 0411 208769 Somewhere I have a list of all the companies with their pricing. One does 20,000l for $450 but they need 3 days notice, Andys only need to know by 12pm for same day delivery. So far we have collected about 4-5000l since we put the tanks in. Not bad, but not enough to keep us going. They say an average family uses 9,000 a month Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 597Nov 11, 2015 12:04 am Oh wow I wasn't even thinking it would move quite THAT fast! I guess we'll see what the site supervisor tells me tomorrow. We were actually driving behind an Andy's Water truck today and snapped a photo with his number on it! It's good to know that they can do short notice too. I'll keep that in mind. __________ Rhonda Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 598Nov 11, 2015 6:36 am ThePonders Shell01 We're lot 70 - builder is Hickinbotham.

(And yeah... we sticky-beak at everyone's block whenever we go up there ) __________ Rhonda Yeah the slop at the front. If they cut the block like they normally would, means our driveway would be too steep and cars would scrap. Don't worry I like to sticky beak @ what's going on around the place too Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 599Nov 11, 2015 12:27 pm Hi Rhonda your neighbour at 53 is Cindy and our neighbour (lot51) is very good friends with her so will tell him you are interested in contacting her and he can let me know what she wants to do. Bit worried about all this theft going on as we are having sleepers and steel delivered Fri and this is our own cost (not included in build) and to think when we signed for the block Ben (Devine) told me I wouldn't need security screen doors after all this is Meadows (dream on Ben!). Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 600Nov 11, 2015 6:12 pm Thanks Vogue, Lot 51 has contacted me so Cindy will be able to get a hold of us when she needs to. And that sucks about your sleepers and steel! If it's your own cost then does that mean it's not covered by the builder's insurance? Hopefully it all stays safe! Having said that, both our retaining wall steel/sleepers AND our house steel sat down there over a weekend, and there was nothing said to us about anything being stolen. Hopefully it's too heavy for them to think about stealing, especially as you are a bit closer to the intersection AND have two close neighbours already moved in. ____________ Rhonda Wish you all the best.
