Oh no you poor thing not having a computer do you have to fight your children for use of their one?? Hope you get it back soon so we can see those pics!! Loretta Hmmmm -- little work on the site today The guttering and fascia, which was delivered yesterday, is still sitting on the Council nature strip (nobody bothered to even put it inside the gate) and the roof sarking has just been chucked over the temporary fencing and is sitting in giant plastic bags. DH saw a scaffolding guy there this morning and he added to what was already there in preparation for the roofing. The SS assured us the guttering and fascia would be completed today, however, with nobody on site and all the materials (incl lots of fixing bits and pieces in cardboard boxes) just sitting on the nature strip, I have little confidence the roof will be on before Xmas *shrug* Oh well. I suppose if somebody steals the materials it's @llcastle's problem, however, it will cause us a delay because it will have to be re-ordered and re-delivered. On the plus side, they surely can't ask for a progress payment for the roof without it being substantially complete...or can they??? As for the computer, I hijacked the girls computer!!

Re: Not All Castles Are Alike...Bricking is finished WOO HOO!! 58Dec 22, 2009 6:01 pm That's disappointing Pix...I think all the tradies are flat out atm.Spoke to our builder yesterday & he confirmed this as he is hoping to get our bottom roof finished before Christmas. So looks like we are all in the same boat Loretta Built The Jenmark with Cavalier Homes Macarthur. http://camdenacres.blogspot.com/ Thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17870 We are in - front landscaping begins Re: Not All Castles Are Alike...Bricking is finished WOO HOO!! 59Dec 23, 2009 8:36 am Hey Pix, I understand how your feeling - our lock up carpenter was on site 2 weeks ago and "almost finished" (according to our CSA and SS). Yet we have not had ANY work done since last Wednesday. I phoned the CSA yesterday who said lock up will now not occur until after the New Year. So one whole week without any action, and now, there won't be anything until mid Jan as they will all start their official Christmas Break today. When I commented about vandalism over the Christmas break, I was told the worst they could do was smash windows. Hopefully nothing happens though. Hopefully for you, your materials aren't stolen. More time to try and save money (Have to look on the bright side) Blog:http://tamdaz-themajestic.blogspot.com The Majestic - Henley - Adelaide Thread:https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20635 Day 200 23-4-10 Re: Not All Castles Are Alike...Bricking is finished WOO HOO!! 60Dec 23, 2009 10:56 am Thanks for the support Loretta and Tamdaz I just got off the phone with the SS who knew *nothing* about the materials being left on the nature strip. He told me he'd spoken to the contractors today and the guttering and fascia was finished. Ermmmm...NO IT'S NOT!!!! All the materials are still on the street and have been since Monday. I asked him if he was ok with leaving it all there over Christmas and I think he was a bit shocked. DH went past this morning (early) and said it was all still untouched and nothing had been done. I'll drive by soon-ish to double check because SS seems to be under the impression it's all done. Oh and needless to say the roof will NOT be on before Xmas. Doesn't really bother me but I would have liked to have been in the loop and have been told. It's now scheduled to go on mid January.
