My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=24970 Re: The Manor with Ventura- Slab Down! 3Oct 18, 2009 7:03 pm Great looking plan Starbabe!! Very spacious. I'm building with Aussie Living - a division of Venura myself I'm awaiting delivery of my bricks at the moment My slab went down on the 7th October. The slab needs to cure for a couple of weeks apparently. My CRO estimates that my bricking should be starting by the end of next week! Re the photo's... i have no idea! I normally copy the IMG code from photobucket also... viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: The Manor with Ventura- Slab Down! 4Oct 18, 2009 11:10 pm Thanks Jodie You are just ahead of us then! Will definately keep track of your progress! That's what I thought about the slab too, fingers crossed! Hey can you actually see my plan posted here??? I can't see it! We liked this house because it was quite roomy. We have a little boy and are planning more kids in the not too distant future! Our last house was tiny and we didn't want to outgrow this one too quickly!

Will try posting some siteworks/ slab pics 2moro and see what happens then! My little guy is almost 3 and full of beans!! He loves visiting the site just so he can play in the sand!
