Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1929Apr 24, 2013 11:46 am Good luck BJA - we are rooting for you! Paul that sounds great - hope we get an outcome from it. Didn't they promise the entrance would start a while ago and still no work has been done? I will be digging up around my place tomorrow and the weekend for our soakwells - having them delivered at $65 each, and we need about 1.5 per downpipe. Going to be a fun weekend! The best quote I have received to have them supplied and installed so far is $1800, but the total cost for the soakwells supplied is about 800...so a saving of a grand for a couple days of exercise and the satisfaction of working on my own home, hope its worth it ha-ha.

Which is a known fact for anyone that rides, hurting yourself is part of it! But being so close to the pines and other awesome areas to ride I can't see any reason why I shouldn't get a new bike?

Daedalus - Who are you getting the soakwells from as this sounds like a great price, and are they poly or concrete? Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1940Apr 26, 2013 10:34 am Plenty of tradies around yesterday - all finished up around midday though, was quite suprised. BJA your site was cleaned yesterday.

We all have nice sand but damn is it compacted! Took me what felt like forever to only manage to dig a hole big enough for two of the poly soakwells side by side. 8 more to go....
