Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 621Nov 13, 2013 11:31 am Thanks momomo, I’m probably being a bit overprotective but she’s gotten out before and when the gates were getting installed she bolted out! Already hired the bobcat summit use in the area. Martyn He did a great job and removed TWO truckloads of sand. He did the front down to what it was meant to be and its just blown straight back. Bit unfair if i have to pay to have it removed again. Martyn the landscaper took photos of the sand piles across the road and he even took pics of how much sand blows on the road and said he would try and get something sorted. Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 622Nov 13, 2013 11:58 am Aaaah, now I understand you. I hope you can get it sorted, and quickly, a landscaped front yard is loads nicer than a sandy one Our thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64272 Purchased land August '12 Titles Jan 27 '13 Prestart - Jan '13 Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 623Nov 13, 2013 12:11 pm Protect your pup!! Huskies love digging their way out, they're escape artists! Good luck with your landscaping Jessie, I'm doing my own leveling as well...I think I might regret it!

I know jaymak!! Shes a terror! It didnt even occur to me to do my own levelling i might have to do a bit out the front i think right before landscaping! Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 625Nov 13, 2013 1:16 pm Hehe I'm hoping to do most of my landscaping before my GSD gets to run amok in the house too...gah so hard to organise everything when the dates from the builder aren't firm!

I left my husky at my mums house until monday and she attacked my mum twice My backyard is sand, sand everywhere. If the bank gives me more money (fingers crossed!) the backyard will be priority, you must be so close!! Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 628Nov 13, 2013 2:19 pm Thanks Acey Its hard to keep up with everyone on this site via my mobile! How did you know! I have someone from NBN coming out on Friday to install the box inside the box! BOB2 is arriving some time this week So i hope to have internet set up by next week! Then Intelligent homes will come out I also got an antenna last week, its so good to have TV again I have no idea about the landscaping, im still pretty confused. I am not happy with what ive chosen and im not happy about what goes down the verge but oh well. I dont have to have those stupid peppermint trees out the front though Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 629Nov 13, 2013 2:33 pm Oh so we dont have to have tree at the front?? Bad thing is even if your landscape gets done because of wind direction and where you are your lovely new garden will just get covered in sand I may need get bob cat number from you. We have way too much sand! plus need dig out for planter boxes at some point. How expensive is he? Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 630Nov 13, 2013 2:46 pm Nah dont have to have a tree I know, ugh so sick of the sand! His name is Marty and his number is 0408004311. He is the bobcat and truck that you see in the area all the time. He charged me $500 for 2 truck loads. Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 631Nov 13, 2013 2:58 pm Oh thats good. I will write detials down, thank you Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 632Nov 13, 2013 3:39 pm Hopefully your nbn connection point will be closer to your place. The closest connection point for mine was on your street as well. The speed is nice, but not very noticeable. I am not bothering with intelligent homes callout, I think I understand the gist of the setup. My bob2 was doa, so using the older but better looking router . Oh and btw the bob2 wont be acting as your modem so you will have to set it up as a WAN. Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 633Nov 13, 2013 3:44 pm oh really. Hm they didnt say anything about where the point was. I got the 50/20 mbps. I dont see why you have to call them? I think im going to know if any of my stuff isnt working! Im sorry doa? As in dead on arrival? I thought the whole point of the bob2 was it was the modem... and phone. In one?! Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 634Nov 13, 2013 4:01 pm They will probably install the nbn modem in the garage where the circular hole was cut in the wall rather then putting it in the clipsal box like I thought it would've been. So you will have to drill a hole and run a small network cable from the modem to your data panel. You know what its like when building a house now, unless you ask specific questions people dont offer information freely. The nbn.co guy will be installing the modem in your garage which happens to have 4 network ports so you wont need a switch like intelligent homes told me I would. The bob2 will just be acting as your wifi and switch not as a modem/router . If I get around to it I will take pics for ya. And yes dead on arrival, supposed to be sending it back but that doesn't seem to have happened. Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 635Nov 13, 2013 4:03 pm Oh. I can still plug into the wall though right? Like i asked the iinet guy if i could plug my smart tv into the wall rather then use wifi and he said no. I asked why and his response sounded stupid lol Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 637Nov 13, 2013 5:25 pm Awesome, yeah that would help a lot! Haha i got a spliter thingo cause the signal is apparently really bad in our area. Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 638Nov 18, 2013 11:11 am I went to that sand/stone place on eighty road just after Pymmes Junction yesterday and there’s more than then I expected. The owners had no customers when i went in so i got a bit of a tour and went into their flower fridges. They were gorgeous, they supply their flowers to woolies. They also have heaps of plants, stones, pavers and so on. Just loved it, i reccomend having a look, will be going back for sure Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 639Nov 18, 2013 11:18 am I noticed that place Jessie we get our keys this week so with the NBN do I just ring who I want to go with? Any one with iinet? Hi all also building with New Generation Homes the Monterey on a corner block with a side frontage and a triple garage looking forward to moving Re: Jessies Build - Baldivis - New Generation - KEYS 640Nov 18, 2013 11:19 am Its a great place bclafi! Yeah thats right, im with iinet, so is acey You ring them and they organise the NBN people to come out. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
