I need to stop. I want to call them but also don't want to be put on the bottom of the pile So I need to get a hobby in the meantime ha ha Re: First home builder! 32Oct 17, 2016 8:56 pm I checked my DA at least 40 times a day it was horrendous because it just wouldn't change I feel your pain, it's so so hard to see no change. Don't call council, mate of mine that works in council as a DA officer (not my council) says when people call he picks up their file and purposely puts it on the bottom without looking at the file GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: First home builder! 33Oct 18, 2016 5:22 am charlibear I checked my DA at least 40 times a day it was horrendous because it just wouldn't change I feel your pain, it's so so hard to see no change.
