Looking forward to seeing your build. Thankyou! Hopefully it's all. Smooth sailing from here. Aiming for august handover. Hopefully. As our short term runs out in sept hahahaha Glad to see you get through it all! Fingers crossed for a stress free build Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 32Mar 04, 2019 12:45 pm awesome guys keen to see some progress Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 33Apr 02, 2019 8:04 pm Looks like things are coming along nicely at your block. Not to sound stalkerish, but we are building in the same area and there isn't much blue steel going up apart from ours and yours Hope things go smoothly from here, sounds like you have had some huge headaches along the way. Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 34Apr 02, 2019 8:20 pm Hahahaha, stalk away mate. its not an overly hard one to find being where it is where abouts are you building? yay neighbourino's! it sure has been a mental ride. would i do it again? for sure, would i use weeks? so far yeah, but the bank....omg. the bank can go fist themselves. that saga would be a whole website on it own Things are coming along really nice now. roof went on today, all our glass has been delivered and should be in by the weekend. we have had a quick walk through and its really starting to come together and look real. its the hardest part i have had to deal with, not being able to visualize it but now thats not so much of an issue Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 35Apr 02, 2019 8:31 pm Looking fabulous. We are over the bridge from you, in the Lakes releases. You can spot our blue steel pretty easily We are a bit behind you, as only have one wall bricked but no roof, but we will get there. (I will add, we aren't building with Weeks though.) We were relatively lucky with our bank, but there have been a few frustrations along the way we could have done without- hoping they all fade into the distance once the build is done and we are living happily in our new homes. And yay neighbourino's indeedy! Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 36Apr 02, 2019 9:05 pm I reckon I know the one. I quite often walk around and check out other builds to see what the go is. get ideas, admire, etc. another friend I have made via Instagram and a #virginiagrove hashtag is over your way as well, so there are lots of happy new friends to be made. Im sure hoping that August comes quick and i can get busy finishing the place and forget all the crappy but necessary parts of this journey. Do you have a build thread on here as well? its that stalkerish curiosity i guess Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 37Apr 03, 2019 6:50 am No build thread on here. Our house will be all the more visible once the bricks are completed, as we are the unfashionable couple who chose light brick and a light roof. We love it, but it isn't for everyone. But do post the occasional pic on insta, so will check out #virginiagrove Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 38Apr 07, 2019 11:48 pm Iguanatan No build thread on here.

Not coming along too badly at all! personally I think light colours look awesome together, but ultimately as long as you love it bugger anyone else right? We went dark roof and light facade to break a mid point between our neighbours but at the same time be a scheme we liked. Hopefully stand out a bit more once the garden is done with some timber additions in the front. Can't wait to see how yours comes along. Not far behind us!!! Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 39Apr 07, 2019 11:53 pm The lid is on, glass is in, gas work done.... It's all starting to come together nicely. Especially in terms of being able to see it all physically as I've really struggled through this process to visualise things like room sizes n layouts. Not to mention colours and textures 😂 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Weeks Custom build - Virginia Grove - SA 40May 25, 2019 3:33 pm The chaos of life has prevailed. we are still back and forthing with the bank about all sorts of fun stuff but I don't really care at this point. Things are still progressing and as long as that's the case im happy.

Just the way it is. 1 5627 Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment? We… 0 12002 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 26322 |
