Re: Owner building in Jimboomba 98Apr 17, 2015 6:47 pm Treeseachanger Arm yourself with pics of the grass to show how high it gets just before you mow. Next time council comes around you have evidence. As for the rest, there's no reasoning with some people. Tough. Can you contact the developers to state that the fill is part of your landscaping "in progress"? Shouldn't need to arm myself with pictures, as anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together would see that any cut grass now on the ground is still fairly short in height, so therefore when cut down it wasn't that tall to start with. It's not the council this time, it is QM Properties covenant people (who are according to the other neighbours, are friends of this problem neighbour!), who are on to me. QM state that I have to 'fix' things up within 10 days of the letter (14/4/15), i.e. disperse or remove all the fill. Last time I looked, no one else was set such a tight timeframe to do landscaping, so why should I ? Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.

Re: Owner building in Jimboomba 99Apr 17, 2015 6:58 pm On another topic, when we moved in our old 500 odd litre fridge decided to pack it in on the same day we did the grocery shopping. Luckily another neighbour round the corner saw my post on facebook asking for detail of a fridge mechanic, and loaned me his small fridge.... saved us, that's for sure, as we only had small bar fridges to try and store stuff in. Minimum charge for a call out was $88, and if it was just a regas on this 15 year old fridge, that was going to be close to $400, so I thought put that $88 towards a new one, and went out the next day and bought myself a 762 litre french door fridge with plumbed ice and water.... was planning on upgrading next year, but had to do something on the spot... thank goodness for interest free! Anyway, got it in the house, and 3 days later noticed a leak inside, so right now we're waiting on warranty for repairs, which should be monday now. Oh what a fun time we have here, last week my nice new DAB e.sybox tripped the breakers, so took it back under warranty and got a loaner whilst it went back to Grundfos for inspection, where they found that a gecko got inside for a bit of a buzz, and shorted it out. Have now got a nice new replacement. The pump shop suggested I get some flymesh and glue it on to the openings at the back where it would have got in... great for a pump that talks about IP44 rating, that a gecko can get in, so then water can get in.

Re: Owner building in Jimboomba 100Aug 21, 2015 10:42 am Haha you caught a live one!! (Poor gecko!). We found every time we've moved to a new place, some appliance has packed it in. We bought a place to live temporarily when we moved back to the city from country a few years ago and in one week the stove and the HWS there packed it in. Gee those vendors timed it right. Then when we moved into my mum's house ( temporary accommodation), our fridge decided to die on us. It's always something!! Hi VK, Think it's worth investing time in an Owner Builder course to equip you with basic knowledge on Australian Building Industry and its regulations. Also, I suggest… 11 25326 Hi all. Anyone know when the $11,000 limit was set in legislation for renovations in QLD? Ive been renovating for 5 years now and this was the limit back then. As we know,… 0 4914 Sorry but you have a crap builder. Probably too late now. For our last build I only spoke to builders who would allow me easy access (at no cost). I used my own sparky… 10 10665 |
