Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 254Aug 11, 2018 12:55 pm Hey! Great job doing the tiles, it’s bloody hard to do any jobs with kids are around!!! I usually work 3 days a week, Tuesdays I have off with my 4 year old daughter and we often do groceries because that’s her idea of fun and some baking, then I take Friday off alone to either do jobs without my kids or just some me time, although when hubby has to go down to our house to meet with tradies or has jobs to do there I have to go to work and even on my days off I often have emails and orders to do from home so getting a day off isn’t really a day off lol I must have missed your last few posts, have you fixed your power problem in the pool? The water feature and stacked stone look fantastic btw viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 255Aug 14, 2018 10:54 am aphsta Hey!

Although we kind of want to build again already, we kind of miss the excitement of it all haha. Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 256Aug 14, 2018 11:04 am We fixed the pool current by bonding and earthing the pool water. It was completely insulated before as the pool is fibreglass and no metal components anywhere to conduct any current away from the pool so when touching the water we would feel a sting or zap. The chlorinator manufacturer advised that the chlorinator releases a slight voltage through the water through a metal plate inside it and its standard, I dont really like the idea of that but apparantly it's normal, at least there is no current in the water now that its earthed.

Your place is looking great and feels like it all happened so fast, it's a relief to pretty much have it all done isn't it. Although we kind of want to build again already, we kind of miss the excitement of it all haha. Yep the ending part happened super fast. It was such an anticlimax too since we got it all done and then left it to the agent to find tenants (not found any yet). We have a lady we are paying to water the yards and grass is coming through, she has sent some pictures of it. We still have to fit out the butlers pantry and laundry plus build the outdoor kitchen when we end up moving in so still have the excitement of doing those jobs. We have an agent we know coming to see our house here in Sydney tomorrow. We are thinking of selling this spring sale season and renting until we move. That way we have one thing less to worrying about trying to do all at once as we need to sell part of our company and then have the tenants move out at the right time too, so having to sell at the exact right time will be hard viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 259Aug 14, 2018 11:08 am Re: Building the Hampton with Allworth Homes 260Sep 22, 2018 12:56 pm Hi there I came across your post and saw that you built with allworth.
