Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 39 of 27 weeks and counting 1502Jun 27, 2017 5:31 pm aloenyx Yeah, dad is doing the infills in Stratco Ezi-Slat in the wood look. This is how it looks? Looks like wood but without the maintenance D The side gate will be out of the same material...

Where is he getting the slats?? Stratco didn't respond to my emails 😣 Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 39 of 27 weeks and counting 1503Jun 27, 2017 6:19 pm Probably Stratco Pakky though weve been talking to the Dandy store in the past. Not sure how hard it will be to get. I hate to say it but glad my dad is going to handle it.

Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 39 of 27 weeks and counting 1513Jun 28, 2017 9:22 pm Opps.. computer is dying... here's the rest of the photos XD Still not sure about the bloody light pole out the front of my place. Might be a good thing or very annoying, but sucks when trying to take photos.

I intended to do a wide view time elapse every time I went.. and I never remember XD Plus I hate how the light pole is right in the middle of my snaps. Was up to like 1am last night reading this document I found on the councils plans for the local area, if they ever implement it all would be great.. lots of walking paths, removing the level crossings around the train line, lots more shops and such. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 39 of 27 weeks and counting 1516Jun 29, 2017 11:34 pm Just finally finished reading your post! House is looking good and I like your colours glad its near the end! I can only wish I was there! We have had a long process like yourself- land titled in 2014 and we haven't even started the build yet! So I hope we don't have a similar build like you, because I am so over it. Hope the rest is smooth sailing and your in your house very soon. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 39 of 27 weeks and counting 1518Jun 30, 2017 1:20 pm Called my builder this morning Bit worried that he is going on leave for two weeks, but he did say he would still be contactable by email.. so hopefully doesn't slow things down. Unfortunately not much progress this week... the render guy was on site this morning (surprised because of the rain we've been having.. but happy!!) and render should be done by Monday. The gas meter didn't go in now expected Monday or Tuesday. If everything goes to plan next week, then we will have all external works completed and gas meter installed.. and COO issued!! I can't wait to get the COO, then should only be about 2 weeks till handover.. still hoping to do PCI next week. Getting there very very slowly. Left to do list Internal - Carpet - HWS - Appliances - Paint wardrobe doors - Flyscreens/door handles/toilet roll holders/etc - Split system - Alarm system (waiting on variation) External - Render of house and fence - Missing concrete - Gas meter - Levelling/site clean Defects - holes in wall, light switches, painting, cabinetry, etc. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 39 of 27 weeks and counting 1519Jun 30, 2017 2:16 pm You'll be moving in before you know it 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 15336 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
