Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 85Apr 18, 2018 8:27 pm ![]() Its looking good! Wow your SS told you to keep out 😂 your house is going to be finished in no time at all. I feel like they just scraped your block yesterday 🤗 Hopefully, it keeps going along smoothly. He did mention that he was the SS for the Newport display homes, so we told him that if our house is finished the same as those, we would be happy. 😂😂 Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 86Apr 18, 2018 10:42 pm How good does that outdoor area look! Great progress. SS told us the same thing about keeping out. Got scolded this week for querying something which I could only have know about because I’d been on site 🤷♀️ Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 87Apr 19, 2018 7:26 am ![]() How good does that outdoor area look!

We wanted a big outdoor area. That's a bit naughty - LOL!! Not too worried about being outside the fence as there aren't any houses either side at the moment. I will ask for a walk through in a couple of weeks. Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 88Apr 19, 2018 8:41 am ![]() ![]() How good does that outdoor area look! Great progress.

Unfortunately between kids, work and how far we live from site can only possibly organise a visit with SS for a weekend, will have to see if that’s possible. If not will just have to wait for PCI.

Can't hurt to ask. How much longer before it is supposed to be finished? I don't think my hubby will want me anywhere near the site once things start to progress. He knows that I am really bad with seeing stuff half done. It is probably a good thing that they don't want me on the inside of the fence. ![]() Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 90Apr 19, 2018 11:38 am Unfortunately between kids, work and how far we live from site can only possibly organise a visit with SS for a weekend, will have to see if that’s possible.

My mum went past this morning and said that there were 3 guys working and looked like most of the wall frames were up. Hope to have some photos tomorrow.

Our slab got poured this morning, so we have been told frames next Monday That would be exactly the same as us with slab pour on Monday and frames started following Monday. We saw the Energex man there on Sunday, so he must have hooked the power up. I rang Origin on 12 April for new connection and then they were there on 22 April (10 days). I can't wait to see it, but can't get there until tomorrow. Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 94Apr 23, 2018 1:50 pm ![]() ![]() ![]() Frames have been delivered and are being started today.

Yes we have been told to chase up the power company as there's still not power on site, the box is there, so hopefully it can be sorted before Monday I enjoy you being a week ahead of us, it's like i know what to expect before we are even told before our SS ![]() will check back in on your topic tomorrow for some snaps Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 95Apr 23, 2018 2:27 pm ![]() Frames have been delivered and are being started today.

It's so much fun walking through your rooms (even though you've been told to keep out - i so wouldn't listen 🙊😂) Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 96Apr 23, 2018 8:45 pm Couldn't help myself and had a quick visit to the house this afternoon. Walls are up with roof trusses being done tomorrow and gutters and fascia being done on Thursday.

Outdoor area. It actually looks the way I pictured in my head. Such a relief. Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 98Apr 24, 2018 7:01 am ![]() Wow!!! Look at your outdoor area😍 cant wait to get mine concreted!!!! Hope it looks as good as that! Just so happy that it looks the way I had imagined. It won't be long and your outdoor area will be finished and you will be living there. ![]() I wonder how long it will be before the site fence goes up ![]() Re: Coral Homes - Grange 25 (it's started) 100Apr 24, 2018 10:02 am ![]() How exciting, such great progress. That huge window is going to look great. There isn't much room down this side of the house, so we are planning either a vertical garden or one of those nice screen panels on the fence outside the dining window. The big window will also let in a lot of light. I just love windows and seeing we are on a small block, I thought that we may as well bring in as much light as possible. We spent close to 2 years in a process with TA. It was horrible..... we got to tender, and the first cut was 50% over our budget which "they care such about meeting ".
