Browse Forums Building A New House Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 805Aug 18, 2016 10:44 pm Wellard2ndTimers Robina Congrats on getting your keys. We also thought it was very unexciting. OH suggested maybe one of the bosses should come and shake your hand. But it is fun to finally get into your house. Enjoy Apparently at Dales you can request to have Dale himself hand them over! We'll be right on that one Armed with the knowledge it is a bit lacklustre I think I shall arrange a picnic with a bottle of bubbly on the lounge room floor for our handover day! Good idea!! Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 806Aug 18, 2016 10:45 pm Thanks everyone!! Seems like the hubby thought decking our 50sqm alfresco would cost about $5 so looks like painting is off the table. Booo Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 807Aug 18, 2016 11:04 pm Oh no, my husband wants everything to cost $12! Painting yourselves then? Spuddles I would love for you to do the party popper thing Our Custom Dale Alcock build in the Village at Wellard https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78620 Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 808Aug 18, 2016 11:27 pm Congratulations on getting the keys! We had a few friends around for pizzas sitting on left over paint tins the night we got our keys Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 809Aug 19, 2016 12:13 pm That's a shame, I'm just starting the painting process, I really don't mind it as I know the job will get done properly and I know what product is going on the wall for certain. I do also like the satisfaction of seeing the finished job.

We are a strange lot lol Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 813Aug 25, 2016 9:08 pm Does anyone know what the rules are around damage to a curb? Our block was cleared today for our driveway and the bobcat cracked the curb. Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 815Aug 25, 2016 9:18 pm No idea but doesnt it *** you off they cant just do something right the first time Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 816Aug 25, 2016 10:38 pm I think there is a sum in your contract that is given to the Shire for this type of stuff, but before it's too late I'd be hitting up the builder to repair. Otherwise the council will com after you for costs. Thats my understanding. Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 817Aug 26, 2016 8:57 pm It was our concrete guy Decka, not HGWA unfortunately. The hubby was going to speak to them today. Will let you know what was said Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 818Aug 28, 2016 12:05 am I know I'm late to this part y but congratulations on the keys!!!! Re: K & L's HGWA Build Baldivis 820Aug 28, 2016 4:17 pm Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 17153 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10259 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9420 |
