Unhelpful about the admin person, surely her jobs have been appointed someone else?? Technically because we're out of preconstruction, we wouldnt be dealing with her anymore anyway. We're mid-handover, but until the new person gets in touch we're a bit adrift. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 366Apr 19, 2018 11:05 am The local council rang me last night to tell me the mail they sent me had come back as return to sender. She then proceeded to tell me off for not updating our address with them, as if I was supposed to know they had our old address (let alone any address at all). We moved over a year ago, and have only owned the land since January I can only assume our useless conveyancer gave them the old address, given the same thing happened for our water provider (which I only found out when I got a text about an overdue bill). Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 367Apr 19, 2018 2:40 pm Does anyone know what happened here can you tell? I’m not sure if someone hit it? Or it’s just plaster powder over it. What does it look like to you guys? There was a couple loose stone when I tried rub it to see if it was only dirt? To me it looks like stones are missing and someone hit it Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 368Apr 19, 2018 5:37 pm Doulton777 Does anyone know what happened here can you tell?

I think the ss already looked at it before we mentioned it. He catches on fast. Cos I noticed that area was wet. Pretty sure he was trying to see if someone dropped something on it. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 375Apr 23, 2018 2:44 pm Well we've oficially given the neighbouring builder till Friday to remove the concrete. Provided photos showing that it definitely came from their block. If they dont then it goes to the EPA and police on advice from the developer. Managed to snag a great deal on a Ring doorbell which I'm really happy with. A bit nervous about security but I think having two dogs will be a major deterrent for a lot of people. Giving M till Thursday then will chase them up about a start date, as they have to start by May 3. A bit difficult without a CSC to follow up with. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 376Apr 23, 2018 3:03 pm Good luck with getting started.... such a frustrating time when you just want to see the diggers there, but seems to take forever. What is the doorbell you are getting? We haven't thought about this yet - wired in vs remote/battery.

What is the doorbell you are getting? We haven't thought about this yet - wired in vs remote/battery. The whole pre-build process has been painfully slow, we should have started weeks ago... Just getting the standard Ring doorbell; it connects to an app on your phone. It can be battery or wired in, though we havent provisioned the wiring so battery will have to do for now. Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 378Apr 24, 2018 10:46 am Still no word on your start date? ☹️. Oowehhhhhhhh they are killing me and it’s not even my build, maybe call them tomorrow? Surely someone knows something Good idea with the door bell. I haven’t even thought of that.

Consoled myself with a splurge on some plates from Kmart; got a set of eight and everything else I have is in a four or six.
