It has been a long and enjoyable journey. our first time therefore plenty of lessons we had learnt anyone who like to ask me about anything at all to look out for drop me a line on gkx1964@gmail.com Especally if you are thinking of getting a "project Manager" avoid my. I can't tell you here for obvious reasons and I can also recommend a few wonderful trademen that we came across. My "Project manager" shafted us big time only because we were too trusting and wanting to get the project off and running. My informations is absoloutely free and could save you thousands. I am doing this only because I don't want any protential OB going through what we went through Re: Warning for up & coming OB in SE suburbs of MELB 2Feb 25, 2011 7:31 pm And I would echo your sentiment! If you are OBing in Perth WA and want advice on what project manager not to get pm me!!!!! However we are now back on track thanks to the utter commitment of our brickie who is completing the job for me and doing a mighty fine one at the same time.
