Will u be putting your telephone cable into that trench aswell. Hope your wife is doing well with the babies. Re: Modified Camden supplied by PAAL homes 96May 16, 2011 1:58 am Well been a little while since I have been on here so have just a small update we have started the roof sheets and have about one third done of the main roof I have laid all the power cable in the trenches and just waiting on a sparky mate to do his bits and pieces I got the local comunications bloke to come and run the phone cabe which is quite large and no conduite required so all I need now is my meter box and two sub boards and someone to fill in the trenches and I will finally have power on the block, solar array to be fitted next month, I do have some pics which I will upload soon. Cheers Heath Re: Modified Camden supplied by PAAL homes 97May 19, 2011 2:34 pm Excellent idea to get the solar up now. In hindsight we should have done that as soon as power was on. It would have paid for itself by now.

I prepare their council plans for them. m.h. Re: Modified Camden supplied by PAAL homes 99May 25, 2011 4:40 pm These companies sound terrible so glad our kit didn't have any of these problems. The company we chose to go with visited our site quite often even though they just supplied the kit and assisted our tradesmen with site issues. Now we have a lovely home am so glad. We came up with a custom design but they have some nice standard designs www.imaginekithomes.com.au Good tip about getting the solar on straight away we are looking at getting it now the building is complete. Re: Modified Camden supplied by PAAL homes 100Jun 10, 2011 1:21 am we are well on our way with roof sheets with just over half the sheets of the main roof up still a bit to be done cable trenches are filled in still waiting on my sparky mate taking alot longer than I had anticipated but thats whats happens when you use mates who are flat out with there own stuff but hopefully they will be done soon so still no power and still no word from the solar people regarding our solar array but apart from that all is good so just a few pics of what is going on.
