I'm going to ask our CSA on Mon to pass on our contact details to our neighbours in an effort to get them in the loop. Regarding the retaining wall cost, I'm starting to think that most on McCulloch & Horizon will potentially need some sort of retaining wall built if we want a level backyard. Also if you're on a block where it's cut then potentially the cut side will require something, although will be slight and shouldn't be too expensive. My understanding was the cut & fill retaining walls were covered in the contract. I'll ask the question and see what comes back. Thanks All John & Sam Hi John & Sam, You have probably noticed your neighbours have joined us With regards to retaining walls, we were informed by Charles at our tender/contract signing that we would be responsible for our own retaining walls. We apparently need two small walls on either side of the house, towards the front. I guess to make our yard level we will more than likely need to build an even bigger one in the back yard. It will be interesting to hear what they come back to you with. There has been a lot of speculation as to who is responsible for the retaining walls. Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 876Feb 08, 2014 11:30 pm Kimmid You have hit the nail on the head I get so angry when I think about the house to the point when people ask me house the house going? (for the last 3 years ) I find myself getting so annoyed I have to ask them not to talk about it . The only way I have dealt with it is by not thinking about it at all ! When I then explain that nothing has changed they then tell me I should get out of it ( which we can't ) not that we would if we could . Me and Tammy were so excited for the new year to start and we're being really positive thinking we will definitely be in by Xmas 2014 but after the conversation with our csa on Friday that's not looking promising .
