Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 build on acreage in Brisba 21Oct 10, 2017 8:03 pm Yes - complete lunacy! I guess they are used to dealing with small blocks where you'd need retaining, but we didn't want a meter drop right outside out rumpus room door - the kids would break their necks. What's the point of having acreage and then putting 30k of retaining on it! I really hope your bank gets things sorted quickly. Between Plantation and Suncorp it must have been three weeks before Suncorp had everything they needed to release the first payment to Plantation, and the payments to our Earth Mover and electrician who put the pole in. Was excrutiating waiting for them to get on with it. BUILD MY HOUSE ALREADY! Re: Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 build on acreage in Brisba 22Oct 10, 2017 8:30 pm It will all be happening soon Saz. It's amazing how fast it seems to happen once the slab is down. Can't believe how rural your place looks considering how close you are to the city. I imagine 20 odd km takes a lot longer to travel than 20 odd km up here though, lol.

We're so lucky to have that much land where we are - there are literally no other acreage spots in this area. You're right - traffic can be a PITA in rush hour. Re: Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 build on acreage in Brisba 24Oct 10, 2017 8:37 pm We are about 20km from town, takes 15 mins max, lol. That's why I love living in the country. The only negative i can see is the nearest kmart is about 100km away.

I have been wondering at was stage the HSTP goes in. Are you going to be on tank water?

I completely understand that No, we're on town water - but not town sewerage. I'm not sure if they always do it this way, but they wanted the hole dug and the tank put in before the build started - but they do the sprinkler bit later in case it gets trashed accidentally during the build, I'm guessing.

A DANGER sign has gone up, and the reason for that is the 5m deep holes for the piering! Gees, they seem so deep At least we know the house isn't going to shift! It's been raining up here and looks like it will continue into next week, so we'll see if it means the actual pouring of the pad it going to be delayed. It's due to be poured next Thurs/Fri so they have a bit of work to do before then.

Piering had to be re-dug (because the drilled holes had filled with water) and concreted last week. Pad is being done this week. Fencing has gone up around the pad now, so next time we'll take the drone for better shots!
