Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4330May 21, 2013 8:03 pm ![]() Lalas, I'd be bugging them to waive the charges if its taking them a while to get their act together! You must be building closer to the treeline than us, we were 'cleared land' in all directions and had no bushfire requirements at all. Nah Miss Windsor it wasn't us, it's scotty78 being pinged for the > 150 day clause. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4331May 22, 2013 6:46 am Thanks for the info/ advice. Mjh have agreed to review any delays by them and not charge. Obviously the delays with council we can't do anything about.

Good luck with it all Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4333May 22, 2013 5:39 pm RAIN!!!! Of all weeks!!!!!!!! Still haven't got the roof on and the bricks are all ready to go ;( follow my Blog: http://monacoatbingaragorge.blogspot.com.au Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4335May 22, 2013 7:57 pm Shouldn't have said anything, bank still haven't gotten loan contract to us so we might get slugged for going over the 150 days now! Wouldn't be by much, a week at most, but the timeline is tight. I am so annoyed with our bank atm, this has taken far too long and they've given us the run around on so many things. Keep getting asked for different forms to be filled out every week, double check if there is ANYTHING more we need to do before we get an Authority to Commence and they say no, they'll call us and then a week later in comes a request for a new form to cosign. We've paid the balance of the deposit cash just so we can demonstrate we're ready to move on and atm bank has said they'll send the Authority as an electronic copy but don't know how much faith I have that there won't be another hurdle ![]() Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4336May 24, 2013 10:03 am Where has everyone gone???????? Hope everyone's build is plugging along - bleedin rain, hopefully it dries up soon. We are busy moving out of our old house and into our temporary one just in time to start demolition. We finalised our electrical plan (sort of ~ give me one more day to be absolutely sure). Hopefully this time next month I'll be looking at a slab. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4337May 24, 2013 11:25 am Our build is tracking along nicely, tiling is done, painting continues from Monday and benchtops get installed on Tuesday. Getting so exciting now! ![]() Sorry to all those people who will have their builds held up with the rain ![]() So tell me, does everyone else go onto their site? ![]() Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 4338May 24, 2013 5:28 pm Woohoo finally after delays we are on the construction list!

Fingers crossed we will finally have floors that actually look brand new and finished. They currently look a mess and like they need a good clean and a much needed polish.
