Your block is just lovely, I've been down in their before and it's very peaceful. Great progress you have too, not long till your slab will be boxed up, great to see that meter box in situ too. I'm so very jealous of your sandy soil Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 9Apr 11, 2017 9:28 pm Tribe7 Oh wow fleabee your a photo posting pro now!! Your block is just lovely, I've been down in their before and it's very peaceful. Great progress you have too, not long till your slab will be boxed up, great to see that meter box in situ too. I'm so very jealous of your sandy soil Thanks Tribe our block does have a little slope as it goes to the back but we absolutely love it PMSL as soon as it put one on I was like right let's do more I probably take too many pics when I'm there but atleast we have something to look back on. Our soil came back as an M so I was super happy with that! I'm hoping it'll be boxed up before Easter 🤞 Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 10Apr 11, 2017 9:32 pm Tribe7 Any colour selection pics to post? I'm sure I have a couple somewhere!!! Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 11Apr 11, 2017 9:41 pm WOW fleabee86 your running really fast with your build. We might finish around the same time. Our slab was done yesterday, our frames are on site minus roof trusses and chippies to start on Thursday. Mind you I can't see them starting a day before the long weekend. First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 12Apr 11, 2017 9:42 pm Our block has slope too, it's a good thing with drainage to be honest. Love all the trees in the back ground. Bahahhaha the more pics the merrier. It's so helpful to have photos and a time line, I've looked back on ours so many times for references. I think at one stage I had more photos on my phone of the house than my kids whoops. Oh seriously, your so damn lucky to have a M, I would honestly beg, pleade and prey to have a m, ours is a E. One of the reasons we avoided project builders, we got one quote for nearly $48k in site costs Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 13Apr 11, 2017 9:48 pm Awesome progress! Awesome house as well. I'm sure you will love it! How big is your block? Will you have to do a lot of mowing!? I hate mowing, partly reason why I argued for a town block rather than an acreage block.

I laughed at your hate for mowing, Mr T just brought a brand new zero turn mower and he is pining to go mow our lawns . Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 17Apr 12, 2017 6:35 am HENRY WOW fleabee86 your running really fast with your build. We might finish around the same time. Our slab was done yesterday, our frames are on site minus roof trusses and chippies to start on Thursday. Mind you I can't see them starting a day before the long weekend. Henry that's awesome! We have been given a practical completion date of the 19th October. I am hoping and praying it is before that though Keeping everything crossed that you have action before the long weekend can't wait to see your pics when it is up Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 18Apr 12, 2017 6:40 am Tribe7 Our block has slope too, it's a good thing with drainage to be honest.

One of the reasons we avoided project builders, we got one quote for nearly $48k in site costs Omg E and $48K holy moly!!! That's ridiculous! I'm not too sure what other builders class as site costs but ours came to $23K. But that's including the HSTP & water connection fees etc! I'm still gob smacked at that price PMSL I think I currently have more land pics ATM on my phone! It was bound to happen though Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 19Apr 12, 2017 6:45 am ruraldoc Awesome progress! Awesome house as well. I'm sure you will love it! How big is your block? Will you have to do a lot of mowing!? I hate mowing, partly reason why I argued for a town block rather than an acreage block. Thanks Rural! We have an acre and a quarter PMSL lots of mowing for hubby that's for sure! We're currently renting (same place for 3 years) and we're on a 600m2 block and with 2 active boys we decided we wanted an acre minimum. Mind you we will probably not like mowing after a few times of doing it Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 20Apr 12, 2017 6:46 am Thanks for the link Tribe! I will get on and have a look! I think this is the one that I started following last year but I don't remember it having anything added to it for a while Not much building go on in Croydon given the project has been on hold for years. Not sure how First Avenue Homes has time to build anything when it has four active civil… 12 44050 So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next… 8 32040 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 9201 |
