I'm sure u used these holidays to settle in. Wish we had handover before the break, but it is what it is, will have to take leave to move in ...maybe in early Feb....if everything gets done by then. We just got told by Optus that they have no ports in our street so cannot relocate our NBN. Do u know if anyone faced this issue? Nbn shows our area is serviceable. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building Bayside : Our Glendale 45 437Jan 03, 2019 7:40 pm excited_builders Drew howz the settling in going?

We just got told by Optus that they have no ports in our street so cannot relocate our NBN. Do u know if anyone faced this issue? Nbn shows our area is serviceable. To be honest, we went away for Christmas to visit my in-laws... our BSC completely screwed up getting our kitchen cabinetry fixed, so we had to cancel Christmas at our house, and go interstate, as I couldn't get the rangehood, and subsequent cooktop and ovens installed. NOT HAPPY!! I'm doing the defect list next week into the portal - it's sitting around 30+ items already... If NBN show serviceability, go with anyone other than Optus. Personally, I'd be going with Aussie Broadband in an NBN area. Aussie owned and run, and all support is onshore now and in the future.

Had an extremely unpleasant encounter with the mother from hell of our neighbour with the rental this morning. After our beautiful new fences being put up, they decided to ignore the fencers' invoice, and sent back a scathing email about how dishonest he is, and that the fence looks "absolutely horrible" (sound familiar for those who've been reading my thread? Same woman, same attitude) So, he arranges to meet them this morning at 10am, and asks if I can be there to back him up, in that he built what they originally demanded. He gets here a bit early, so I walk out with my coffee and have a chat (he's a top bloke), and the neighbours parents rock up. She gets out of her car, and the first words out of her mouth are "what's that f'ing b'tard doing here?" To which I replied - "I live here, and we need to discuss your issue with the new fence." Well, from there on in, it turned into a complete ship fight ... Both her and her allegedly non-English speaking husband, who now speaks perfect English (amazing what you can learn in 6 weeks), proceed to lay into me and the fencer, to the point that I had two fists waved in my face, and being called an f'ing C, Mother F'er and bunch of other choice terms from both of them - yes - including a 60-70 year old woman!!! So I asked for the language to be toned down, as my 6-year old twins were standing on the porch watching me trying my best to get a punch laid on me and was told to get my f'ing kids inside, and that they'd say whatever the F they wanted to, so at that stage I told them to get off my property, or I'd call the police and have them removed. The tirade of abuse continued from the other side of the fence, including being told to "get out of my f'ing sight" whilst I was telling my daughter that the reason the "lady" was yelling bad words at me is "because she's not a lady at all". So, the fencer goes in to discuss the issue with them, including them complaining about the back fence, which had to be extended due to us moving the fence BACK to the survey line, which gave them 2 1/2 foot of what was technically our land via adverse possession. Demands made as to what they want done with the front fence, more abuse hurled at me over the fence, and punched fists into hands as they drove off. Afterwards, talking to our fencer, she's advised him that she's going to take us to the Magistrates Court, which we're simply delighted about, as there is absolutely no chance in hell she can win, given we have essentially given her $20k worth of land. I just wish I'd recorded the encounter on my phone, as it would be all over Facebook by now, or with A Current Affair... Be warned folks, there are some complete nut jobs out there... Wow you did so well to contain yourself. I don’t get it she’s got $20,000 worth of some of your land. And still they are not happy. And your kids were there watching. They should be ashamed of themselves. Can’t believe it. Feel so bad for you having neighbours like that.
