To think only 4 weeks ago they started earthworks and now we have a roof. Meeting with the electrician on monday. Saturday morning we have another driveway and retaining wall quote. Our first quote just for the retaining wall came in at $24k!! Our Acre build -Hallmark 44May 11, 2017 9:40 pm MissLucky HENRY Very nice MissLucky. Your build is catching up to our build! Its crazy fast!! To think only 4 weeks ago they started earthworks and now we have a roof. Meeting with the electrician on monday. Saturday morning we have another driveway and retaining wall quote. Our first quote just for the retaining wall came in at $24k!! Don't forget triple check your electrical plan and take it with you, just in case they have a different plan! OMG $24k for retaining. Do you really need to retain? What type of retaining? Hope the quote on Saturday is more reasonable! Nice carpet. It matches nicely with your other floor tiles!

Thanks Henry i will definitely take our electrical plan(didnt think of it). Never had dark carpet before so excited for that. Teenage kids, hopefully hide the marks too. Retaining wall quote was for stacker blocks for 2 walls in a tier. Each about 800mm high. We could save a bit if we got just the one wall and still left a bit of a slope. Would love to let him do it if we had the cash as he really knew what he was talking about and seen some of his work and would look great and add value. It needs something because if it rains i can see it all washing down to the front of the house. Looking at all options at the moment and definitely more quotes! Hubby thinks he can do it because he has watched youtube tutorials..lol. Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 51May 22, 2017 4:02 pm That's awesome progress!!! A few people have tried to go with clear in their bathrooms over the obscure.... I didn't even realise that you could have clear! Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 52May 22, 2017 4:12 pm Wow look at your progress!! Awesome!! I love your front door!! I wanted that one but hubby said no. I think the glass is a personal choice - we are having the same problem, we asked for clear in ensuite and bathroom but they have delivered and installed obscured glass. They are changing it for us as we have pretty greenery we want to look at and we don't have neighbours, well close neighbours anyway hehe Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 53May 22, 2017 5:23 pm Hi Miss Lucky. Love your floor plan! We are also building in New Beith and hope to start in the next couple of weeks or so. Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 55May 23, 2017 7:17 am charlibear Wow look at your progress!!

They are changing it for us as we have pretty greenery we want to look at and we don't have neighbours, well close neighbours anyway hehe I stalked your thread and i can see why you would want clear. Its at the front and would throw off the balance! Looks like we are at roughly the same build stage Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 56May 23, 2017 7:21 am Tamara1975 Hi Miss Lucky. Love your floor plan! We are also building in New Beith and hope to start in the next couple of weeks or so. Congrats!! So many beautiful builds happening out that way. We did lots of drivebys to get colour inspiration Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 57May 23, 2017 7:30 am Decided we will go with the obscure glass. If i absolutely hate it i guess we can get it changed down the track. We do have one neighbor so far and i think im forgetting that there will be another neighbor that overlooks the ensuite. So obscure glass it is Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 58May 26, 2017 8:38 pm MissLucky your build is powering along. Have they finished your bricks yet? You have just about caught up to my build By the way your door looks familiar Re: Our Acre build -Hallmark 59May 27, 2017 2:47 pm Sooo bricks are almost complete! Brickies will be back to finish off. They did an awesome job and couldnt be happier. We were a bit worried when we pulled up as the bricks looked horrendous but realised they were put back to front for the render..phew Gyprock starts next week.

This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17591 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23764 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23886 |
