More storms on the way hope your place doesn't get loads of water again Re: Fairmont Homes - Seaford Meadows SA - concrete + landsca 283Jan 11, 2017 5:43 pm Yeah, I'm going to be around to check on it. If it gets bad I will cut the stormwater drains down a bit lower. Good news is that i got the council official stamp to finalise the driveway location, and SA water was out there yesterday measuring up for moving the meters. So hopefully this means no more roadblocks, apart from how long it takes me to finish the prep for the concrete and retaining wall posts to go in before the concrete gets poured near/over it Building a Fairmont Custom in Seaford Meadows Our Build Thread Re: Fairmont Homes - Seaford Meadows SA - concrete + landsca 284Jan 11, 2017 5:47 pm That's great news. Hopefully a bit of rain will soften the ground for the digging Re: Fairmont Homes - Seaford Meadows SA - concrete + landsca 285Jan 22, 2017 5:20 pm Oh, it looks so good MJT - presumably you're in now? Sorry I haven't been in touch, been a bit ill, and all the Christmas Crazy you get in retail, yadda yadda. Hope you're enjoying it! Re: Fairmont Homes - Seaford Meadows SA - concrete + landsca 286Jan 22, 2017 8:49 pm Not in yet. Still waiting for water meter to get moved. Then concrete paths and driveway can get done. Floors are waiting till after the concrete so we don't track mud through. I'm at the house found lots of landscaping prep and painting and stuff.

I'll see if I can catch you one day when we drive by... Congrats, it looks lovely on the outside. Re: Fairmont Homes - Seaford Meadows SA - concrete + landsca 288Jan 24, 2017 8:21 am Thanks we are happy with how it looks too. Just a shame that no one else has their stormwater done yet and we have 5 blocks with 2 houses draining all their water to ours. And yesterday the one behind was stealing our power again. I told them I don't have an issue if they ask, but I don't like that they put me and my family at risk of electrocution because they are running their cable through the lake they created in my alfresco Building a Fairmont Custom in Seaford Meadows Our Build Thread Re: Fairmont Homes - Seaford Meadows SA - concrete + landsca 289Jan 24, 2017 9:01 am OMG... I wouldn't even think of taking someone's power! Electrocution not good! Electrocution not friend! How can people be so lacksadaisical about this stuff? OMG be careful!

I must have left my wheelbarrow outside overnight and it got stolen. Found my gloves a couple of streets over....

There were people at home and they acted surprised that it was in their driveway. Funny because my mums friend actually saw 2 guys walking it down that road at 12am last night.
