Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 157Oct 19, 2009 5:14 pm prom38 Hi Sam Thankyou. Yes very excited, anxious, etc. coming up with more stuff on the list of to dos each day, eg fence, driveway, make sure curtains (this one I'm a bit nervous about) installed by next week before we move in, removallst for the big stuff, ring council for the bins, etc. etc. We thought of getting a building inspector as well, but somehow that got sidelined. However, we kept a close tab at each stage of the building process and my husband has years of experience in the building trade so he sort of knew what he had to check on but yeah I think it's a great idea as it is the biggest expense in one's life and to have the assurance of a professional behind it is just a relief! All the best with your PCI on Friday. Which one did you build. Can't wait for Thursday, when I can put my own key in and would not have to ask for my SS to see the house!!. Cheers Prom38 Good luck for your PCI!! I presume your not a fan of blankets and sheets on your windows - or temporary blinds? Neither am I.. Blinds were an absolute MUST for us. Isnt it a great feeling to organise everything for your new home?? Although at times it can be stressful..! We didnt get an independant inspector either and were satisfied with the finished product.

There are load bearing things in the way. /quote] What??!! So theres ABSOLUTELY no way you can have the double shower??? Are you sure?? Will you still be going ahead with the Thornleigh? It would be such a shame if you cant build the house because of the shower size... keep hassling Carlisle and hopefully you can come to a good conclusion? Hope things work out for you MrsG.
