Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3943Aug 04, 2017 10:40 am  fleabee86Yay for soil test Yay indeed, the surveyor was onsite this morning too. I was puzzled why this man was on my block acting a bit strange in the corner and then I realized as I drove up the hill he was the surveyor checking the levels on the theodolite  .Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3944Aug 04, 2017 11:07 am  ruraldocDid u dig it out with your foot?! Haha congrats with the soil test! And fingers crossed... Need to stop by your lot one of these days to have a sticky beak. A good reason to do a stopover in your town....  Hahhahahha not quite, it's a awkward angle to take a photo on with the slope. Once the pad is cut you will see what I mean. Back of the pad will be around 1.5m high. Soil report will come back as a low E. We went with a house and land package (byo land ) with upfront fixed priced site costs. We got our site costs last week so the soil test won't affect the price woo hooo  Next time your on your way through call past, give us a beep we live just down the road from our block  Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3945Aug 04, 2017 11:10 am  bribiebellWhoo Tribe every bit of progress exciting just think in another few weeks you might be locked out of your new home!! https://www.homeone.com.au/member/bribiebell Thanks Bribiebell, currently planning like a madman for colour selections. Great to see your so close to hand over too. Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3946Aug 04, 2017 12:10 pm Do you still get to keep your infinity tiles now that you're back with M? Hopefully you get this show on the road soon, I would be so antsy if I were you... Can't wait to see your plan and colours  Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3947Aug 04, 2017 2:22 pm  charlibearDo you still get to keep your infinity tiles now that you're back with M? Hopefully you get this show on the road soon, I would be so antsy if I were you... Can't wait to see your plan and colours Hello CB, I can have them if I want as National tiles can just order them in, mind you I won't get the same price  . I don't think I'm going to use them as I'm going for a different look, Just trying to figure out what that is . Very god damn antsy we have been dealing with builders for so long and gotten no where. Not sure when the plans are due back or the preliminary tender. Won't be long though if they are getting everything sorted with soil testing and surveyors. I have a colour walk through next Saturday at Robina so I can prepare everything. I'll be doing colours, tile and electrical appointments alone so I'm gathering as much info as I can now so Mr T can help me preselect So pleased to see so much happening at your place too.

Can't wait to see your selections how exciting for you guys! Did your soil test come back the same? I was hoping it'd come back better for you guys. But now I've just said that I think Metricon do fixed price  Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3952Aug 14, 2017 7:14 pm Oh thanks Flea  . We are pretty excited about selections. I picked the tiles on Saturday and Mr T had a wobbly so I had to re pick them . Our damn soil report came back as a H2 yet our Neighbour is a E. slightly random but ok. Yes your right we have fixed price site costs, all up with council fees and N3 plus our water and septic tanks and travel surcharge it's come to $51,321.12  Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3954Aug 14, 2017 7:34 pm Oh my ...where did you find that treasure trove of mirrors??? I'm looking for one for my walk in robe.

Well done  Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3957Aug 14, 2017 8:54 pm  CorallakeOh my ...where did you find that treasure trove of mirrors??? I'm looking for one for my walk in robe. Hello CoralLake, My goodness the shop is beautiful, they have a seriously amazing amount of mirrors. The shop is at Windsor just outside Brisbane CBD I went last weekend and had to restrain myself Here is there website http://www.reflectmirrors.com.au Pretty sure they ship Aus wide and there prices are so good, the same size mirror I brought was over $2k at other stores. Your WIR would look incredible with a big statement mirror. So pleased to see your gyprock and joinery happening at your place too  Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3958Aug 14, 2017 9:04 pm Tribe7 CorallakeOh my ...where did you find that treasure trove of mirrors???

Hehehehe go for it, after the long and drawn out process you are having to endure you deserve a few treats. I found the wall paper I want to go with the mirror too but my budget wasn't impressed with the price. If the stupid exchange rate from the U.K. was better my budget could get back in the corner Re: Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast 3960Aug 14, 2017 10:11 pm Tribe7Oh thanks Flea .

That also means future things like shed etc could be cheaper Lmao Mr T sounds like my hubby Cant wait to see everything |
