Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. The last few weeks haven't been the best with family sadnesses and very busy too. Not having rented for forty years, I found the pettiness of a post rental inspection amazing, particularly being told to remove the balls from the garden and the empty cardboard box left in the shed! Still no mirror in the main bathroom! Still waiting! Pete rang SS about it this morning and was told, "I'm driving. I'll get back to you." Of course he didn't, either. More pressing problems, no doubt, but a son who can't see to shave is getting tired of waiting. Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 587Sep 05, 2016 9:47 pm It takes wisdom to build a house, and understanding to set it on a firm foundation; It takes knowledge to furnish its rooms with fine furniture and beautiful draperies. Proverbs 24:3-4 Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 588Sep 05, 2016 11:51 pm Holy moly thats one hell of a pool. Cant wait to see the landscaping around it! I cant believe you dont have a mirror yet. Could you call regency and find out?

Makes you realise what's important in life, doesn't it. Hope you're okay. That's pretty poor form that you still haven't had that mirror replaced. Can you escalate to the area manager? C U S T O M.

Down tools and off to another job while waiting for company expert to come and decide if it can be repaired and still have warranty or if a replacement is needed. Ho Hum. Can't start fencing until it's in and finished. Will time off be over by then??? Hmm... Also their digger broke down. Also their bossman is just out of hospital and not really well. Oh what a good run we had with Coral. Must be our turn to see the other side of the coin! This crew is made of lovely guys. Just luck or karma or something! Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 592Sep 06, 2016 1:07 pm Oh no! More time off... Bugger bugger bugger! I was so excited to see that pool go in today! Any idea when the expert is coming out to make a decision? C U S T O M. C O R A L.

" quote Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 594Sep 06, 2016 2:06 pm Oh no. What a shame. Hopefully a quick fix. Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 595Sep 09, 2016 3:28 pm Well, pool is fixed but team too busy on next pool to come back until Monday. (maybe) For a pool that was supposed to be started 15 th. August, no 1st Sept, no 2nd, no, too sick. Will come back 5th. Dug 5th, cracked pool 6th," Will come back 8th and finish it before 19th even if it means working all Saturday and Sunday". Pool fixed. "Will be there on Monday 15th." Really? We'll see. Shame pool isn't being built by Coral! It would be finished by now! Oh, hang on, still no mirror in main bathroom, five weeks after Handover. SS has been transferred to another area. Warped door has been fixed, though. One out of two ain't bad! Got email asking for feedback to Coral about our build! Might wait for mirror before telling them how happy we were with the standard of the build! Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 596Sep 09, 2016 4:18 pm Haha maybe Coral NSW are building your pool, Oldies! Shame that they still haven't fixed your mirror! C U S T O M.

I'd love to see how I'm tracking compared to another Manhattan build Alex & Darren's Manhattan 23 Ormeau Ridge Follow my build = viewtopic.php?t=80441 Re: Oldies Coral Homes Manhattan design in Camira Qld 598Sep 10, 2016 6:37 am Hey BB, about halfway down on page 1 of this thread, I have a timeline of how our build progressed. Yours seems to be going great guns! Yay for Manhattans! Now we're in, that exciting but anxious wait seems to be so far behind us and all the hassle and work of moving makes it seem a bit of an anticlimax for a while! (Maybe I'm just too old for all the work, with aching everything) Don't get me wrong, the house is fantastic, but now I'd jut like to run away for a while! You're young and strong. Probably you won't react like this.

Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13771 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish.
