Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 241Jul 02, 2017 11:59 pm It seems giant Rural but if you have back to back trades and all the external items done while something is happening inside, the list will dwindle so quickly. Your sons birthday is 2 days before mine , if I was a gambling kind of lady I would say PCI around your sons birthday . What is your contract completion date? Oh wow that's amazing she is almost 4kg already, she loves her food . It would be a bit of a shock to have a tiny baby in the house again, I find myself lost when the kids aren't in the damn house. Your wife will start to feel more human again soon, that newborn baby vortex is consuming. Oh god that's the last things she needs with a broken ankle . Good to hear there is progress out your way, we went to the coast today for a family do and I can't believe the progress there either. I hate to think how cold it is out your way tonight Rural, it's only 3 here ❄️❄️❄️ Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 242Jul 03, 2017 8:17 am It is all coming together well. Looks great Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 243Jul 03, 2017 9:02 pm Haha.. very cold indeed! Most mornings are 1-2 degrees when I warm up the car. Stanthorpe was definitely not sleepy this weekend with the "Snowflakes" festival! I almost thought... we gotta move... eh don't mind the excitement from time to time, but it is so nice to have such a peaceful part of the world most of the time. I'm sure Hoya and Boonah feels much the same! And thanks, Tamara1975!! Hope yours is going well.. might check into yours at some stage.

I hope she is going ok? Yay for little Tori reaching 4kgs What's happening for you? Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 245Jul 06, 2017 8:36 pm Hey charlibear! This back to work, new baby, sleepless nights stuff doesn't help me keep up with the house build... haven't visited in ages!! but did get a chance to walk around the house today and catch our SS (he is managing 13 projects at the moment) to ask him a few burning questions. ?Are the wet areas going to be waterproofed? - answer - yes, next week. Do they need to move the tubs out of the way? - no. He also said we will have doors and frames coming next week, and then the kitchen!! Otherwise, tried to ask about a PCI date... he was hesitant to really give an answer. Asked "do you have a date in mind!?" hehe... Also went to the flooring guys at Andersens to finalise our carpet upgrade payment. They said they are coming last... said don't want painters ruining our floors... makes sense! Brickies and plasterers still going... have one side of the house and the piers left to do. Cornices all in as well.

Shame no date yet but at least things are rolling along. It must be tricky managing the house, work and a newborn. You guys are doing well! Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 247Jul 07, 2017 1:17 pm Hope you get a little more sleep on the weekend Rural. Progress sounds like it's still coming along nicely! Can't wait to see that kitchen when it's installed Love seeing everyone's kitchens! Our SS wouldn't give us a date either, so we told him what date we will do our walk through as hubby works away and I want him there to go through it as well. Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 248Jul 09, 2017 9:53 pm Thanks guys! So yesterday we went to the house, our son is definitely getting comfy with our soon to be new surroundings. Loves going to the playgrounds, gym equipment we have nearby to the new house. We made a big effort yesterday to try to salvage some of the waste products that is going in the skip pin given that we totally missed out on all the framing off-cuts!! MY mighty wife picked out the half-brick and damage whole brick pieces and we've moved them to the back of our lot for later usage... thinking some path boundaries, or plant boundaries.. or maybe even an open fire pit or pizza oven?? Also built a nice ramp with some plasterboard pieces to entertain our son whilst we worked. Also salvaged the pallets that carried our now delivered doors!! Sorry no pics though... we had a busy weekend of soccer and keeping our bored school-child entertained!

Good idea to salvage what you can . I hate waste! Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 251Jul 10, 2017 10:15 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We have a front door! Sorry been so swamped with baby and work and catching up on things you can't do when you have too much work and baby... that I'm getting creepy night time photos. And then I broke in... 😋 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Half the internal doors are up. Chippies have their timber cutting thingie setup in the middle of the house again.. None of the recessed doors are in yet. Lots more bricks tossed into the skip again. How do we even keep up!?

I am hoping they will have roofing offcuts to make veggie gardens. A neighbour asked for the leftover foam stuff from under the slab. Some reinforcing steel offcuts are in our shed for the shed watertank slab. Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 254Jul 11, 2017 7:25 am bribiebell Not completely locked up or locked out yet. All the sliders seem to be open/unlocked, which is how I got in. Will have to see what they decide to do as more valuable things/they want to keep things clean and undamaged as it gets closer to finish! I would not put it past some stupid yahoos in town to try and have a smoking/drinking/drug party in there or even squat! Perhaps one of the disadvantages of building in town (during the build phase).

Aha, looking like a real house now too, crazy. Glad you can still "break in" Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 258Jul 11, 2017 10:03 pm Looking good Rural, can really get the sense of space now Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 259Jul 11, 2017 11:48 pm Looking soooo good! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Can you give advice on how to get missing certificates needed for a form 21?
