Having a good rapour with Tradies and keeping them happy. We are now 100% sure we are going to Owner Build. Drafty says plans will be ready in 1wk, hubby applying for Builders license on Monday !!!!!! Can you tell we are excited . To join the Owner/ Builder network was $1650.The Network gave you access to a list of preferred tradies and 3 sight inspections by a Reg Builder. We thought the cost was a bit steep so we didn`t join so we would appreciate recommendations for tradies, feel free to PM us all you want We look forward to sharing our experience with you all.

I`m getting itchy feet waiting for the final plans. Hubby went and saw the council today, we have already had our first knock back. Based on our preliminary plans they have said no to our electric gates as they will encroach on council land. Unfortunately there is no other way for the gates to be constucted due to the retaining wall out the front. Hubby is gutted. I can`t wait until we can put our own progress pics up. i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16026 Brass or 2) Stainless steel made - which Kitchen tap is good for drinking.Brass kitchen taps in Australia contain lead… 0 6739 |
