Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 12Oct 31, 2013 8:53 am we got a prestart date 6 December now it's time to go through our list and mark the items into wants and needs we also need to study the budget to make sure we have a realistic budget and not some made up budget. We are going to start by working on our budget backwards from the grass and fences right up to adding storage space in the games room. Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 13Oct 31, 2013 10:33 am yay for prestart date.. very exciting.. sounds like you have a well thought out plan to budget Home Group WA Monte Carlo Timeline on Page 1 Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 14Oct 31, 2013 2:00 pm Thanks nicci We so don't want to end up short at a later date and have a unfinished house Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 15Nov 01, 2013 2:55 pm the other day we got a bill from the council for the rates, great a other big bill to pay! today we got a letter from the settlement agency, I was so hoping for a small check and not a other bill. so i took a look at the letter and this is what it said "We are posting a cheque to city of rockingham today to pay the rates in full and enclose a cheque for the sum of $$$ being refund due to you" yes a small cheque, a win for us! Re: Sharon's build with home group WA 17Nov 04, 2013 4:08 pm Congrats on having a prestart date I loved making my selections although I agree that not knowing prices beforehand is a bit frustrating. To help ourselves out prior to prestart we made two selections our chosen upgrade but if we couldn't afford it we had already had back up chosen from the builders standard range as well.

The kids hate it because there's no house there! There was about 15 blocks that were release at the same time as ours and out if those 15about 8 have started! We know that ours more than likely won't start until February! Prestart is still 4 weeks away! I am wanting to go back to the tile shop (third time) to look at plan B for the main part of the house and bathroom tiles! I am now thinking of going back to our first choice. I can't pick my roof colour or the garage door colour until I get the mortar colour. I have picked the colour for the front door RED! For we are wanting plain colours for the house but so you can see the front door it will be red! We are looking forward to having prestart finish so there will be no more changing colours or other things to the house! I don't like waiting UPDATE: We are now having JARRAH stained front doors. I's a bit like the red doors only safer!!![/ Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17615 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9571 |
