It's the only one on the top of the hill which still is at frame stage. It faces the bridge (our back is to the sea), and yes, there's a red bin outside lol!
And now we have a bit of scaffolding around the carport, just to help you identify it a little better Dudleydog, we aren't getting a ducted system so I have no idea about price sorry. Our house is 21.20 squares, and we're opting for 2X r/c split systems. We have only done a quick look, but will go with 7.? kw each system. Since our house is divided pretty much into two distinct parts, we'll run one upstairs and one downstairs in the living areas. We're allowing about $6k for both systems, including installation, hoping we'll have a bit of change....while we would love ducted, we just can't afford it Have a nice day Re: Building in SA! 219Jan 30, 2009 1:37 pm Hi All
I don't think I have posted in this topic yet, but I am trying to buy/build a cottage (unit) in Aldinga Eco-Village. Everything has been selected now and the slab has been poured and concrete polished. The only hold up for me is settlement. It has been a long time coming and it was meant to occur this Wednesday, but they are having issues getting the money from the FHOG to use as a deposit. I am hoping it is all going to work out. My broker hopes to hear today from the banks. It should be all ok as I have been told you get your FHOG when you get the first progress payment for construction and I received that before xmas. I have only just discovered this topic, but look foward to watching the progress of other SA people's houses. I haven't had the time to read through the 15 pages, but I have had a look at the blogs and the houses look fantastic! Hope you are all keeping cool Kristy Re: Building in SA! 220Jan 30, 2009 2:12 pm Well we've got the contacts on our land. It has a soil report with it and it says classification s ys= 11mm so I'm hoping thats good. Its also got near level so not much retaining, yippee.
We still have to sell our current house and the saleslady didn't put subject to sale but has put subject to finance (she said if we didn't sell we probably wouldn't get finance anyway) and has extended the settlement to 20th July, with finance by 20th June, which I'm pleased with, should give us plenty of time to sell. We're living with my folks at the moment (yikes) in a villa house! But its all good at the moment, and we need to save us much us possible while we're here cos its going to be tight once we're in. Especially if we get all the extra caesarstone, pantry's and alfrescos that I want Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed.
