It's dead flat, only thing I can think is fill? I have fixed site costs anyway, just wondering what might be. E reason? Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 627Feb 02, 2017 7:26 pm It's not your fault. You've helped save those poor little things. At least you have found somewhere to take them so there's an end in sight Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 628Feb 02, 2017 10:13 pm Dont feel bad..m You've done so much for them. More than most would xx Poor little things probably wouldn't have made it without you and now you've got them somewhere permanent. That's something to feel good about xxx Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 629Feb 03, 2017 6:32 am Kat_1025 Dont feel bad..m You've done so much for them.

You are a good human Dawn, sometimes it all isn't gets a bit much, doesn't mean you are a terrible person, it just means you've had a bad day/rough patch.

Its been a frustrating few weeks, and this all hasn't helped. ;-; I think I'm just facing up to the fact I'm not going to be able to do the things I wanted in the new house. Originally I wanted to be a bunny breeder... then I wanted to be a foster parent... now I don't think I'll be getting anymore bunnies except my two monsters.. I just wish the build was progressing.. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 631Feb 03, 2017 10:16 am You trying to do the right thing in Dawn.... but life is not a walk in a park.... I am sure your build is progressing... I am having the same feeling for the past few weeks because all the progress are happening inside the house and the outside looks the same how it was before Christmas (except for the future timber)... Few more weeks or a month and we will be in our new house or busy doing PCI Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 632Feb 03, 2017 1:23 pm I finally spoke to the builder today. He couldn't tell me much, but hopefully will update me early next week as their planning session is today. Unfortunately their concreter is not available, which is why I don't have my quote yet... but I can wait I guess. I also called the stamp duty people, and it is true that you have to move into the property within 12 months from land settlement to receive the 50% discount on SD. ;( But the guy on the phone was really helpful and told me to submit my claim anyway with a cover letter explaining why the build was delayed and they may extend the deadline.. so *fingers crossed* I get it.. because its about $1900 back in my pocket.. and every cent counts right now. I also went to FoF, cancelled the order on the dining table and swapped it for the mattress instead. So, $899 for a mattress and $300 back in my bank account . Feeling a bit less stressed now, as I need a mattress way more then I need a dining table. Have everything I need to move in now once it all arrives... focus is on landscaping, fencing, blinds, etc.. Also spoke to Westpac about extending the loan... may be possible but not till after construction is completed, and will mean I end up paying more LMI still hoping I don't have to do this.. but time will tell. So feeling a little less stressed now.. will be happier once the little bunnies go to their new homes today/tomorrow. Currently sitting outside with them in the playpen, socute! Especially the littlest... and I have the dog and cat stretched out next to me..animals are so strange XD Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 633Feb 03, 2017 5:27 pm aloenyx Thanks all.

Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 634Feb 03, 2017 7:52 pm Being a bunny foster hasn't gone quite as planned, but then I always expected a formal arrangement with a shelter group, one or two healthy older bunnies... Not, having 8 little ones thrust upon me, no preparation and them in ill health... Little Star found a home tonight, very happy. The other four go to the refuge tomorrow. {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 635Feb 03, 2017 8:14 pm aloenyx Being a bunny foster hasn't gone quite as planned, but then I always expected a formal arrangement with a shelter group, one or two healthy older bunnies...

I am sure good karma will come your way eventually. We all live and learn. Yay on finding homes and a safe refuge for the others. You must be getting excited, has your builder given you any idea when your handover is? My land has been in the titles office since the 4th of Jan, the waiting game is the worst part so frustrating. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 636Feb 04, 2017 7:50 am Thanks ^^; I'm just hoping some good comes from everything I've done. I try to remind myself though even though I have no idea what or who it took to rescue my cat and bring her to me, I'm so grateful someone did coz I wuv her No, no expectations yet on date. I don't believe they are expecting any work to commence on the house till next week (since before Xmas ). So bout 3 weeks or so behind where I thought we'd be, but there's only one stage to go so hoping its not a big deal and I can be in by the end of March at the absolute latest. Aww, waiting is hard. Especially through the admin stage, because you just have NO idea what is going on or if its just sitting in someone's inbox... at least once building you can go look at the site to see what's going on. I definitely think all builder's, and departments relating to building could improve their communication.. especially in this day and age when customers have high expectations on communications and updates. Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Week 17 640Feb 05, 2017 10:48 am True.. patience is running out though. I would just like to see some sort of progress on site.. hopefully next week. Built my own DIY rabbit hay feeder today *feeling accomplished* I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15265 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 17047 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 11631 |
