Blog List add 593Jul 21, 2010 9:37 am Hi Everyone Our plans are at Council now and we officially know our street number!! SO exciting! Min - any news re: your frame? missionhome: it has to be timber lapped and capped fencing in The Ponds - no colourbond. I'm not sure of the prices - perhaps you can google it. Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year? Blog List add 594Jul 21, 2010 1:58 pm Hi Everyone We have been checking the progress of our build in the weekends. It remains at bricking stage. I have to say, it's fairly painful watching our bricks grow. I am thankful however that it is at least, progressing. Hubby went on a shopping spree over the last 2 weeks and took advantage of the Clive Peeters closing sale. We picked up a new fridge and dishwasher which will be delivered tomorrow and stored in what is already a fairly crowded garage. This saves the guys from taking it up 5 flights of stairs to our rental unit because there is no lift in the building. Even so, it wouldn't have fitted in our unit so they will get their first use in the new house. Yay! We bought the F&P integrated dishdrawers so am waiting on word from the kitchen people who will quote for the matching panels. Last week after checking out a couple of carpet shops, we decided to purchase carpet through Carpet Call. We chose a plush Redbook carpet with luxury foam for all the rooms but the gold rubber underlay for the stairs. Both the gold and foam were priced the same but the foam felt great. It's a fairly dark colour carpet but looked good against the different colours of our feature walls. Now we just need to finalise the tiles for the entrance foyer and decide if we go with timber laminate for the open kitchen/family room or stick tiles right through. It was an expensive week as the airconditioning company also advised that we take 15, not 12 outlets originally specd and the alarm company suggested we add more internal sensors and control pads. Costs sure mount quickly. We have had a number of variations come through at around $1k each. It's just mind blowing. Anyway, I thought I would share an update of where things are at with our build. Finally, I noticed that the moderator removed the thread I referenced a page back about a free building seminar by the Bella Vista building inspector, HK Ryan. If you go to his website, http://www.hnkryan.com he has posted the notice there and simply asked for an email to register your interest. He will hold it when he has 20 people interested. He has about 8 at the moment. Happy builds everyone. cheers Berny ----------------------------------------------------- http://serenityattheponds.blogspot.com/ Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year? Blog List add 595Jul 21, 2010 2:04 pm missionhome HI all Can anyone tell me what type of fencing is must in the ponds area? and how much these t;ypes of fences cost? How much roughly is wooden fence per meter? Need help to decide and budget. thanks Hi, I think according to my neighbour a few weeks back, the timber fence mentioned is around $70 per metre? cheers Berny ----------------------------------------------------- http://serenityattheponds.blogspot.com/ Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year? Blog List add 596Jul 21, 2010 8:46 pm Hi Berny, We saw your brickies working very late last Sat arvo, so hopefully they will be finished very soon. We were thinking Carpet Call too it was interesting that between Norwest and Castle Hill there was a bit of a difference in cost. Quote: took advantage of the Clive Peeters closing sale By the time we got there, they were sold out of everything, the place was bare. Probably better that way anyway. Quote: Min - any news re: your frame? It is supposedly definitely being delivered first thing in the morning. Well the ground floor and upstairs floor anyway. Chippies are also apparently still going to be there. I will not be at all surprised if it doesnt happen though. So many times we have been expecting it that I am not actually believing it will ever happen. I loved having a look through one of my neighbours houses with stairs, plaster and stairs over the weekend. I hope I get to that stage one day.(soon) Quote: we officially know our street number Looks like yours is moving along smoothly. The street number is very exciting just wait till you need to fill out a form with it listed. Fun ! Has anyone seen Acquah around lately. I cant remember if the slab was finished yet Everyone cross fingers for us. I will update the blog from my phone if we have a frame.

We chose Norwest, sure hope we were on the right side of the ledger Thanks for the brickie update. SS is saying that we may have the gutters and fascia installed next week. We were just wondering when the roof was going to be completed. I guess that's next? All the best Min with your frame issue and I hope it gets resolved quickly cheers Berny ----------------------------------------------------- http://serenityattheponds.blogspot.com/ Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year?

Definitely have heaps of updates for you all as we have finished with the slab and our frames are up as well as roof trusses. Bricks also delivered but waiting on available brick layers to complete the job. Sorry to hear about your frames being delayed Min. They better be of high quality when they're finally delivered!! We still have to uproot the tree that's in the way of the driveway though. Will probably swing by this weekend to do that. Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year?

Just wondering if any other Kalinaites are here. hullo! we are in barkala way, and philandamanda are our neighbours. Our land release was about 2 weeks late to register, so I think we are pretty lucky. Why the long delays do you think? bad weather?
