Solomon's didn't accept the letter from the bank in the end so we had no option other than to pay the flooring up front with solomon's to reimburse once payment received from bank. Not what we wanted to do but had little choice. Once we'd done this when our broker found out he didn't like the idea of relying on solomon's to do the right thing do was able to negotiate with bank to reimburse us immediately as a 'once off' so all good ... love the flooring btw. Carpets are so soft. We've been working everyday often early morning until late at night getting everything ready and are mostly there now. Feels a bit surreal.

I’m impressed that you have curtains up already! And equally impressed you have the equipment for making sticky rice!

Yum Ha ha, I agree with your wife there 😄 Re: 1st home build Clearview SA with Hickinbotham 119Sep 18, 2018 9:23 pm Been busy digging the retaining wall in backyard getting that ready and the perimeter concreting was done today. If the weather holds up they might get the driveway done tomorrow. Waiting for neighbour to complete their bricks before the fence can go up. Everything coming together fairly easily now and soon i can get stuck into the landscaping more. Loving the house.
