Rain does ruin the building mojo though. Lots of ppl with their builds stalled by the rain it seems!

And found our windows bath and front door! I don't know why but man seeing that door excited me to no end ?

It already looks like a beautiful home. But I'm sure you won't appreciate the draught if they leave it looking beautiful like it is right now! Let's just make more beautiful by finishing it quickly from here as well! You could still have it finished as a giant steel framed camping tent?

Windows and door will help with keeping down the draught! Hope your kids will enjoy having a look around! I can't wait to get our son interested in the build again. It's not very exciting that he just keeps seeing dirt and a retaining wall everyday!

I remember the whole first parts I would get so excited and they would just look at me and mum it's just dirt, it's just a slab and whinge every time I said let's go look at the house ? Now they can see it's changing to a house the excitement is back so won't be long and your little man will be excited too Do you have a start date? They have put all our ducted and electrical in and put one door in the garage so I think they are getting ready to lock us out noooo ? Re: Our Forever Home Build 54Mar 27, 2017 6:48 pm How have I missed this thread? We are about to start building on an acre in New Beith and are currently renting in Yarrabilba (hi neighbour ). Our plan is quite similar to yours. Can't wait to follow the rest of the build. We are waiting for building approval and then should be good to go once that comes through Re: Our Forever Home Build 55Mar 28, 2017 9:24 pm Ladybugs2 Oh totally get that!

Yeah Start date was in February when they started the scraped the lot and then started retaining wall. And today, wife saw them finally put in the rest of fill! Which means, SLAB NEXT!?? hopefully before the rain but we shall see how Debbie affects the weather down our end... ah lock out... that sounds like the next painful experience, other than waiting for slab and frames to go up! haha...

So many road closures and flooded areas! I went past your house the other day (in a curious, non-stalkerish way lol). It is huge! How long is it? I am keen to see what ours looks like on our block. Re: Our Forever Home Build 57Mar 30, 2017 7:18 pm Second that ^ My parents are still out at Buccan and I remember how badly it floods. Hope it doesn't slow down your progress too much!

Hope it doesn't slow down your progress too much! I am not sure as our street floods so wasn't risking going out on the roads today, but i will be messaging my neighbor in the morning for an update, hopefully it's not bad! Re: Our Forever Home Build 59Apr 01, 2017 8:45 am Hope you and your family are ok! Sounds like Jimboomba copped a bit. Luckily on high ground it sounds but nonetheless other effects of floods can occur other than wet houses and ruined stuff..

I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17673 Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 45873 If you are in Victoria you have a statutory right to your own building inspector regardless of builder's consent.
