Really so it's not just the footy then. Hubby reckons it would have cost them $100,000 easy. It doesn't surprise me. I don't know about in Melbourne. They took 3mths just for 34 variations. Cos they kept putting us in a queue. Mind you it was them that kept making the mistakes and putting us in a queue. So there must have been a lot there at the time as well. And a bit of a delay for us. We were suppose to start in April. They couldn't also keep up. To much was on one consultant. No wonder they all keep leaving. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 603Jun 18, 2017 11:44 pm Doulton Thu just have to increase there variations and make up some new charges and that will pay for the advertising.

My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 viewtopic.php?t=86114 Exactly. Variations are way too much. Over priced. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 606Jun 20, 2017 10:01 pm Apparently it's only 68sq I just asked my consultant. I thought it was going to be 76sq? It's only over a square and half bigger then what we are building if that's the case. Which doesn't make sense cos the front looked huge when someone posted it on here? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 607Jun 20, 2017 10:15 pm Doulton777 Yep it's open.
