Block is not contained within the construction fence yeh? Is that how u r able to hav done ur shed and fences? Our whole block is gated off and we can't get in anywhere! Yeah that's correct. Our block is 3000sqm so they have only just fenced around the house. It would have cost them to much $$$$ to do the whole block. Daz Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 9923Apr 15, 2015 7:30 am Oh damn I'm jealous lol I wish we still had access to our block! Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 9924Apr 16, 2015 9:07 am Looks great - so happy to see you excited about your build Can i ask, regarding bricks - do you find these bricks are more brown than grey or vice versa? I seen them on a house in the flesh and they looked grey and now everytime i see them in a pic - they look more dark brown Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 9925Apr 16, 2015 9:09 am Yay!

We are getting pegged Monday and scraped Wednesday! How Exciting. Good luck No Update from Us so far this week, I actually have kept myself away from the site for almost a week. (Amazing) I blame Day-light savings stopping and lockup. We are however meeting our SS onsite tomorrow morning to get an update of where we are at, check on when bricks are starting and approve our Tiles that are being delivered today.

I seen them on a house in the flesh and they looked grey and now everytime i see them in a pic - they look more dark brown When we saw them originally on houses they were definitly dark grey but now ours have arrived on site they are dark brown. I still love the colour but very different from what I remember lol Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 9933Apr 16, 2015 4:45 pm jomarshall Yay!

Building the Bronte Executive Grande at Windella NSW Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 9937Apr 17, 2015 6:12 am Thanks guys! Those bricks are looking great Nat and Dan! Must be soooo good to see progress finally! Creedy, house is looking great! Week 13, gosh they have flown through it! Daz 4 Bec, looking good! I think we have similar colours in our kitchen too.
