I'm so disappointed your poor slab got a shake up. The little punks need a good boot up the bum. Have a good week away, hope when you return your block has a gigantic fence (electrified couldn't hurt )

I agree, time for a fence!! (Is it only in Vic where fences around building sites are standard?) We built the Rathdowne with Simonds Express in Western Melbourne Site start Oct. 2015 Keys Jan. 25th, 2015 My build thread -here- Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 63May 17, 2015 5:17 pm Hey TC I agree wth all comments and I'm speechless! Hope you have a great trip even if it's work related. Bring on that fence!

Will the car driving over the slab compeomise its integrity?

Some people have no regards for others. Did your neighbours not hear/see anything???? Gee if I lived nearby I would be sticking my nose through the curtains for a stickybeak! Well I shall cross everything for the next week - safe travels Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 66May 18, 2015 8:06 am Argh frustrating about the slab damage. Good thing it's the builders responsibility to make sure the site is secure. Agree that the fence is overdue. Hope the work trip is a good one. Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 67May 18, 2015 8:30 pm Oh TC that's terrible. I cannot believe what some people do. I hope the fencing goes up quickly, and keeps the ferals out. Unfortunately they go to any neighbourhood. Hopefully they don't live locally, but were just driving past. We actually bought (then recently sold) our own temp fencing because ours wasn't required/supplied by the builder since we were only building one story. We felt that it was still important, and I'm glad we did. But our SS fought it, and claimed that it made his life harder. We told him to suck it up. I'm really glad you are happy with the way everything turned out after Your original build fiasco. It's a shame that you experienced it though. Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 68May 19, 2015 7:32 am Hi TC, shame! shame! shame! on them but you will be the one laughing and enjoying your new beautiful home once it's all completed and they will be the losers. Wickedness, Jealousy and Envy that is what it is. Have a blessed work away. Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 70May 24, 2015 7:17 pm Hey yes I got back yesterday. With an infected foot, then got chomped on yesterday when a kamakahzee dog attacked my boy when taking the dear boy out for a walk (he missed his mummy) That's the only action to happen this week I'm off to check all your threads now to see how you've been travelling Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 71May 24, 2015 7:45 pm Ouch TC. Hope the foot is recovering nicely. Did you come back to a fenced building site? Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 72May 24, 2015 11:45 pm Yes, foot's on the mend thanks. No. Nothing has happened ... I got an email from my CRC with some excuse about frame being delayed and he'd ask SS about fence. Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 74May 26, 2015 9:50 pm Hello our well travelled, dog mauled builder friend. That's nuts you got an infected foot and then bitten by a dog. Hope all your inflictions are recovering. Maybe you need to send your German pooch to remind the crc that framing delays are bad and fencing is a must. Any news from them? Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 75May 26, 2015 11:14 pm I'm meeting my SS for the first time tomorrow on site. I'll have a few questions for him Interestingly ... I got a letter from the developer of the estate we're building in today. It was a reminder to tell us they need to see the plans before going to Council to ensure they complied with encumbrances/guidelines Bit blooming late if they don't 'like' it. I'm sure builder got it cleared by them ... Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 76May 26, 2015 11:23 pm Hey TC, bet you have a few questions for your SS! Glad you're soldiering on with the foot, dog bite and whatnot Funny that letter from the developer, don't count on your builder getting clearance, you don't always need it for the council to approve the plans. Add another question to that list, have you got a fence yet?

Re the developers covenants/encumbrances, we had to do this part ourselves, once approval was granted we forwarded the notice to Metricon. I hope for your sake your builder did this on your behalf and it doesn't cause you any grief (if it does cause an issue your csc will need good running shoes as I'm sure you will be after him ) Re: Simonds Avalon Adelaide [Build thread] 79May 27, 2015 10:00 pm Thanks for clearing that up Tribe re the steel frame, had no idea what it was haha Yes TC a definite start, very excited for you!

Can't wait to see it. We checked it out about two months ago and were really happy we were building it! My SS is a really great guy (well so far) LOL! Nah, he's really switched on. I like him!
