We were at our place yesterday.... met our neighbours and so on! We were discussing this telstra high velocity stuff. They have handover this week and don't have it in their home..... When i said we got told we would be able to watch telly or have a phone line without it..... We stood in our driveway and were shocked by the number of antenna's????? I thought and am sure we couldn't have them.... hence why we are a velocity area???? Do you guys have all the wiring in place???? Thanks heaps...

I thought and am sure we couldn't have them.... hence why we are a velocity area???? Do you guys have all the wiring in place???? Yes we have all the wiring in place... It is silly if you don't wire up for it, as why have an ugly antenna on your roof if you don't need one, or an ugly satellite if you don't need one. Also if they want internet or a phone line they will need to do some type of wiring up, even if it is two points (phone and internet). In a single storey house this is still quite easy after handover but would have been much easier to prewire.

Love Kirby xoxo yeah delfin don't seem to be too strict on the convenants... house 3 doors down from me has exposed aggregate driveway and it stated you weren't allowed to have that.. Re: WakeboardAndy's house. render painted. new pics sat 13th Jun 555Jun 14, 2009 10:34 am It's an real pain in the A*s.... You'd think, that they had gone to all that touble to have rules and guidelines..... than to not care. It's weird! I've already told them i'm not getting them to approve a thing! You know they have built our house without a eave down one whole side of the house..... in solicitors hands right now..... could be months before we hear from king or delfin.... so we simply won't settle! Why pay for something were not getting! Love Kirby xoxo Texas Aston Joe became our world on the 20th December 2007 Pregnant again this time Due on Xmas Day..... We must have a thing with December!

Why pay for something were not getting! Yeah we did that for the south side, but we specified that in our contract, you can see in the photo there is a bit of the eave that wraps around 1m on the side to look like there is eaves on the house from the front. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ At first delfin didn't approve it and said we need eaves for the whole house. But at first they said we didn't need it on the south side.. So I argued with the convenants person as it would have cost us money to redraft and he agreed with me due to the house being 8m from the footpath at that point that people from the street wouldn't notice it due to the next door garage blocking the view. So he approved it like that. But if you have paid for eaves all around the house then that is what you should have gotten. Re: WakeboardAndy's house. render painted. new pics sat 13th Jun 557Jun 14, 2009 10:58 am Yeah, see ours is exacly like yours..... however we paid for our whole house to have 450ml eaves (apart from the boundary line at the garage obviously). And yet..... they have only supplied 300ml eaves to remainder of house and nothing on that other side (believe it's north north west side of house). It's amazing how they can change the "RULES" when it suits them! Wish we could do the same when it comes to life or games.....

Once they do their inspection and leave our final cheque at the branch then we can have our final handover inspection.. so hopefully not too long now!!!!!!!
