Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building 1st home with Hickingbotham in S.A 21Sep 03, 2018 12:11 pm Finally we have our start date its today yay!!! so within the next 2 to 4 weeks we should have our footings and slab 😀 We also ordered our shed on the weekend so we can have somewhere to store our household stuff whilst were waiting for the build. Also the owner of the house we are currently renting have decided to sell due to no income and illness so unfortunately for us we will have to move and then move again, it's not ideal but we don't have any other options. So today I'm feeling happy for our building to commence soon. Re: Building 1st home with Hickingbotham in S.A 22Sep 03, 2018 1:28 pm Yay for a start date. Hope you can find another rental easily. As we only moved to rental for the build, we didn't unpack everything, so you might find you simplify for short term Re: Building 1st home with Hickingbotham in S.A 24Sep 07, 2018 1:03 pm BAM just when things were looking up we have been told there's been a $6000 increase in our septic system, I'm so not surprised or shocked but its definitely depressing when everything had been signed off I guess now we have been let in on a secret that a PC item means that just because it has been priced as such it's not necessarily the final cost and it can go either way more or less price wise, I really do hope that this is our last surprise! 🙄 Re: Building 1st home with Hickingbotham in S.A 25Sep 07, 2018 1:10 pm mumbron BAM just when things were looking up we have been told there's been a $6000 increase in our septic system, I'm so not surprised or shocked but its definitely depressing when everything had been signed off I guess now we have been let in on a secret that a PC item means that just because it has been priced as such it's not necessarily the final cost and it can go either way more or less price wise, I really do hope that this is our last surprise! 🙄 Ouch !
