Matt, Lucy how are you both going with the builds? Must both nearly be at lockup? My earthworks have been finished for almost 2 weeks and still no pad... I suppose there must be some delays! Also have either of you gone timber flooring? Trying to get some ideas of whether I should go with the tiling or floorboards... Thanks Hi Morgan we are getting close to lockup our ceilings were finished last week, we are now just waiting for our walls to be plastered (hopefully this week). we chose to go with a wood laminate over tiles as both my wife and I are not the biggest fan of tiles in the living areas. that can be frustrating having delays hopefully your pad will be put down soon once that Is done it should go up quickly Re: My Build: Bushmead with HGWA 32Nov 16, 2017 4:23 pm Hi Matt, That's exciting! Getting close now. Yeah that is my thought's as well. If you don't mind me asking- what did the laminate set you back? I called up and asked the question and I have been told that the footings are being poured tomorrow (Friday) and the pad pour will be Saturday. Progress! Depending on the weather I might even go have a beer in the area where my living room will be on Sunday arvo Re: My Build: Bushmead with HGWA 34Nov 20, 2017 12:35 pm Hi Matt, Well unfortunately I did not get a house pad over the weekend The footings were completed Friday but due to the rain on Saturday morning they must have delayed the pour. Hopefully by this afternoon I will have one! Oh that's a bonus! So many options to choose from..

Re: My Build: Bushmead with HGWA 36Nov 20, 2017 2:22 pm I was second guessing myself as to whether I made everything to small it's hard to judge the size of the rooms without walls! Feel free to have a walk around whilst it progress's if you like. One thing I was quite surprised about is the height of the pad.. Definitely opens up some options for front landscaping.. Some steps with lights might be an option! Yeah I am hoping so! I'm off on holidays towards the end of this week so it would be a nice surprise to come home to the start of some walls. How is your build going? Must be at lockup now or very close? Thank you so much everyone. 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 17511 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10262 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9559 |
