Pool looks great too Thanks navs. I am a bit worried about the pool now as it isn't being protected in the way I was told it would be. The pool company constantly talked about it being sealed with plank and mesh, so I paid $2000 for them to do this. Went around to check it out last week and the mesh is not covered, the holes in the mesh are about 5cm x 5cm. I am so stressed about the pool getting damaged during the build. I rang the pool company to get an explanation and he has assured me it will be fine, but I am still going to worry up until the day we have the pool handover. At this stage I am regretting putting it in before the build. Quote: Hope your floor tiles come in under budget On a brighter note we got our costs back today. The tile price is at the lower end of the range that we were expecting . I think we should do it but I haven't had a chance to talk to DH about it. I think he would be happy to stick with them because we built all of our colour selection from these tiles and I don't think either of us want to start the whole process again! Now just to organise finance and hopefully I can sit back and relax for a while and leave it up to the builder! Re: Building with Dale Alcock SOR 34Jun 27, 2014 11:02 am From my experience, get everything in writing - get those pool guys to guarantee it in writing and that way if it does get damaged you've got recourse. Everything verbal can be denied later. Fabulous news about the tiles. Yep the hard work is over for now, you deserve a wine. It's amazing how many moments you'll find deserving of alcohol over the next few months haha https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64434 Building our own custom design based on the Elwood by Dale Alcock Land settled - November Plans submitted to council - January Prestart - March Slab - 18 September Brickies - 23 October Re: Building with Dale Alcock SOR 35Jun 27, 2014 11:17 am Quote: It's amazing how many moments you'll find deserving of alcohol over the next few months haha So true! So many moments we have celebrated with a glass (or two) of wine. The house was demolished - bottle of wine. We made it through pre-start - bottle of wine I have a nice bottle of sparkling in the fridge waiting to celebrate when the slab goes down.

Looks like all the fences are out of alignment. Both neighbours have encroached on our land. Really starting to worry this is going to push back the beginning of construction. Re: Building with Dale Alcock SOR - will we ever start build 38Jul 03, 2014 11:47 pm Hi Tanyaw, Just dropping in to say hi and thanks for the demo company contact. Compliments on your selection of colours, tapware, and sink! We will be demolishing and building in Bull Creek so I will be following your build with interest. I have been reading in this forum for about a few months now and we have finally selected our builder and signed up with Redink. I was thinking about starting our build thread but they have not sent us the final PCQ plan yet Re: Building with Dale Alcock SOR - will we ever start build 39Jul 04, 2014 6:12 pm Hi Redsin, Cant wait to see your build coming along. There are so many houses being demolished in Bull Creek at the moment. Makes me feel so much better about our decision to demolish when I see the rejuvenation going on in the suburb. Quote: thanks for the demo company contact No worries, hope all goes well. Re: Building with Dale Alcock SOR - will we ever start build 40Jul 10, 2014 11:57 pm Following your build - good luck!
