I have started a thread here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=26772 Have your say (good or bad) on the things that affected your decision.

Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 471Dec 05, 2009 6:38 pm Have joined this thread now...am excited that we'll be able to put a deposit down in the new year with Carlisle. Have decided on the Bordeaux (switched from the Atlantique) and just waiting to secure land. Am already deciding on colours and inclusions Sliding versus bifold, timber v aluminum windows, facades, stairs... yikes. Doing my head in and I haven't even started yet. Will be going through Phillip at Tarneit and have been really impressed with them so far (see myother gush in the forum Why are you building with Carlisle ) Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 473Dec 05, 2009 8:42 pm Its good to see, Lindsay, that your happy either way - Bordeaux or Atlantique. Ive been to the Tarneit Bordeaux, it looks really good doesnt it? Have updated your details on the first page. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 474Dec 05, 2009 9:14 pm Yeah it does. Still a huge Atlantique fan, but hey I think I could do worse than the Bordeaux!! Actually love the Tarneit display - it really does feel like a home. They've done a great job in presenting it.

Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 476Dec 05, 2009 10:30 pm Took a friend down to my block today - was rather exciting to be able to say it's "my" block. Can't wait till I can say that about "my westburty 26". Just added colour swatches of my selections to my blog. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 477Dec 05, 2009 10:37 pm Hi everyone, I'm feeling numb right now, it has been a very horrible day. We had the PCI with Carlisle Homes on Friday and got Kevin to come and inspected our home as well. Everything went really great and I was so happy and looking forward to the new house. Today my neighbour who is also building a new house next door rang me and said I should come to the property because he spotted some broken windows and think someone has broken in. I went to the house and I was left in tears. Some people have broken into the house and vandalised it. They have destroyed nearly every room - kicked holes in the walls, kicked holes in the doors, threw paint on our beautiful carpets, broke the windows, the list goes on. I rang the police and they have come and gathered evidence. I have rung both my site supervisor and my CLE but they don't work on weekends and there's no other number to ring so they'll probably ring me on Monday. Just email them the police report too. I can't understand why people would do this, I'm a hardworking person who is looking forward to moving to her first new home. I already have already organised for my driveway to be done, curtains and furnitures to be delivered and now this has been pushed back to who knows when. Don't think I can sleep tonight. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 478Dec 05, 2009 11:16 pm I'm so sorry to hear... that is such an awful thing to have happen. So heartbreaking - I can't believe anyone would get their kicks from doing this to another person. Hope Carlisle manages to get this fixed for you quickly.

So heartbreaking - I can't believe anyone would get their kicks from doing this to another person. Hope Carlisle manages to get this fixed for you quickly. Thinking of you Thank you for your kind words Jayneylou. It's especially bad for my mum, she has heart problems so I have to make her stay in the car as she was already so upset. I could hardly bear to walk through the house with the police and looked at the damages, when yesterday I had such a beautiful home. Re: The CARLISLE HOMES General Information Thread 480Dec 06, 2009 5:50 am whereabouts are you building moogle? this calls for constructive action from everyone ,this could happen to anyone one of us. To prevent this happening again for eg those who are building in the sandarra estate should take turns in driving down after 9pm to check on things and report any suspicious activity, obviously the people who have done this are kids looking for a few kicks .Carlisle should cover the losses ,it only delays things and that cost the owner. 0 5309 We are at the stage on our build in Kilcoy, Queensland where we need to get our fencing installed but we cant get any contact details for our neighbours to give them… 0 6704 You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14849 |
