Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3164May 29, 2017 9:52 am I tried calling my SS about the recessed sliding door but he's on annual leave this week... thanks for letting me know mate... a quick email would have been nice. Emailed Micah about the door... hopefully I get a non generic response.

I heard back, he knows about the rebate and it's not going to cause any delays. So feeling a bit relieved. I also asked about the windows, they won't be changed until the house is nearing completion... I thought it would have been easier to do it now but nope towards the end GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3167May 30, 2017 10:06 am Can I win lotto Found some pendants I love but at £230 each I don't think so Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Or these for £795 each and I would cluster them at the end of the island like in the picture Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3168May 30, 2017 10:41 am I'm really loving the second ones!!!

Try not to be to heartbroken it looks like nothing is happening. Chances are your kitchen, bathrooms and laundry will be measured this week, so in 2 weeks you will hopefully have plans to approve. Plaster will likely arrive this week in your garage. Bricks harder as that rebate needs doing before they can do bricks there. But that won't hold up inside. I think they could make date if they really just keep doing stuff each week. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3173May 30, 2017 3:21 pm vonsta76 Where from????

Hey Shell, I saw the kitchen guy out there about 2 Saturdays ago, looked like he was measuring up, so maybe I'll get them even sooner... a girl can dream right? All that was meant to happen this week from my progress report was electrical rough in, I guess that's better than nothing. I hope we have plaster delivered this week GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3175May 30, 2017 5:17 pm Hi Charlibear We finally have council approval so the GJ build is about to take the next step! How long was it (or should it be) from approval to start slab?? I think at contract they said around 4 weeks. I suppose the fun and games start now 😦. How is your build going?

Congrats on council approval!!! Yay!!! I am definitely not the right person to be asking lol... we got out of council mid October last year and only got our start date mid Jan for a late Jan start. In our contract it says that we should have our start date within 20 working days from DA approval. Our build is ridiculously slow and I regret choosing GJ, sorry to taint your view by honestly their communication is appalling and we are into week 19 with windows only just being completed GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3177May 30, 2017 7:41 pm charlibear dillongl Hi Charlibear We finally have council approval so the GJ build is about to take the next step!

Oh well, we are in it now, no turning back! Let's hope I show as much resilience as you!! Yeah things went wrong in the start, just hardly any trades showed up and then we had all that rain from Debbie the b*tch and they claim 3 weeks of rain and no access to muddy driveway so I had to spend $2k to put in a gravel driveway so they could continue works... we've had one week of 19 hay trades have showed up every day I truly hope you have a better run than us - I wouldn't wish these delays on anyone cause it's just frustrating and heart breaking to see you house sit there and nothing happen for weeks on end...
