I explained our frustration with how long this process has dragged out so far and he said we still have a small chance of being in by christmas! Cling to the tiny bit of hope?!

We signed Contracts on the 11th July and we still havent even had dirt moved yet... I sent our final contract off by express post today. We have been told our site scrape will be the 10th and slab pour will be the 24th.... Is it just me or does this seem forever away!????? I am beginning to understand your frustration. we already signed contracts and was waiting for banking approval which I got the other day, which I had to chase after not hearing anything. emailed CLE to see if mortgage broker got in contact with her in regards to it being approved, 24 hrs later she reply saying she got the confirmation and our finance requirement has now been met. she contacted me last week regards to cleaning my site so it can enable them to start construction, so got it cleaned last week but now what? she didn't say anything about sending final drawings out or anything and that's pretty much all that i'm waiting for.

Expect more frustration!!! Had a phone call from a lovely lady the other day introducing herself as our new CLE...... This now makes her the THIRD we have had.... Having said that though, our step in site supervisors (cause ours is on Annual Leave till mid Oct) have both been good so far, have both contacted me letting me know where everything is at and letting me know whats happening from here! I emailed our new CLE back saying that I hope its a smooth process with her from here on!! Off to see our dirt tomorrow, check on the progress! Mum drove past the other day and tells me we have a temp fence and portaloo!! Built With: Carlisle Homes - 2013 Our first home Quantum Homes - 2016 Quantum Homes - 2018 Our Almost Forever Home!

Its a slow process to get started but once its running, it will go quickly. We hope to have our slab down by the 1st week of Oct. Site cut has been done and also the meter box is in, so the next step is the drainage. good luck with it all.

It is near the high school. Our drainage was done last week and they are now forming up the slab. The builder has indicated that the slab will be finished by next Tuesday. So I to are hoping the weather improves. We were up there on the weekend and it seemed to be fairly dry after the rain we had last week..

I'm up here at the moment, staying at my parents house looking after their furbabies while they are away.... It has done nothing but rain for the last 3 days!! I drove past ours yesterday and we have had progress... plastic down, wire mesh and polystyrene are all down... just waiting for some concrete! Going to go past again tomorrow after work... crossing my fingers for a couple of nice days... cause I have had a look at the forcast and its rain till Tuesday next week!
