Aubin Gardens -Stage 9 & 10 - Come and meet your neighbours!

Is it against the rules or something to have that map on here?

Welcome to the loop/neighbourhood LauraGeorge

edit: don't mind me... I see the map was moved from the 1st page to further down..

omg that thing is hideous! looks like a prison or a chook shed

I have been told it will be out hopefully week 3 or 4 of december!

Another one has already been taken as of a couple of days ago!

i have a white kitchen (warm white gloss) and zuccero (almost white) benchtops. we chose a dark grey 600x300 porcelain for splashback.

Friday is bin day... christmas eve is recycling week, apparently from the 17th Jan they will be making recycling weekly.

Does anyone know if the landscaping voucher from terranovice can be declined so that we get the money instead.

I would rather do my own landscaping.

cheers.

oh ok cheers.

how much is the voucher for?

and for those that have used the voucher (shon?) am i right that it includes some plants, turf and basic reticulation?

Howdy Neighbours!!
I came across this forum last night when I was googling trying to find out what that huge building is on Lyon/Gaebler. Now I know!! woohoo.

So I am mostly surprised that I didn't come across this forum any earlier...kinda jealous that most of you already know eachother. lol. I managed to read thru half the thread, and will try to catch up on the rest later. Hubby & I were disgusted on the story of the "dumping" in the bedroom. We noticed the other weeked that our front yard reeked from the portaloo. Yucko.

We have built on lot 370, and have taken a million photos of our block and house, and probably have a few photos of Bellingrath Way to share. I must say, Nearmaps is awesome! I showed it to my friends at work today.

We are building with Aveling Homes (I've seen a couple of houses of theirs on Adromeda), but we used a Scott Park design and modified it. Our house got to lockup stage in Dec, but has kinda come to a halt. Builder decided to put our spa taps in a completely different location, and then asked us if it was ok.???? Stupids. So now our tiling got delayed (woulda been started before Xmas), but now won't be started until mid Jan. Oh well - they get their last payment late now!
So we aren't far from Handover now. Getting a little excited.

Oh - I forget your name, but the owners of Lot 372..... when we had our tile meeting (the day we discovered our taps were in the wrong spot), we could hear some very loud doof doof dance music coming from your house - at 8am!! ha ha ha, we had a good laugh at the labourers taste of early morning music.

Well, that was a longer post than I had intended... I look forward to getting to know you all. You all sound like a good bunch of ppl so far

Hi AG,

We were told that it would be finished by end of Jan, but with the tap debarcle, we expect that it'd be more likely end of Feb, so hoping to be moved in end of March, early April.

Our SS has only been in touch with us once during the entire process. I'm a but peeved off about that. We are none the wiser, as we've never built before. I actually received a call from the office once to tell us our "fortnightly update", and I told her that we've never had a fortnightly update, and to top it off, the info she gave me about the next job they were starting on was about a week old, and the job had already been completed! I've never received an update from them since. The only info I get from the builder is when I ask them, or when they contact me to either advise our bricks and pavers have changed or out of stock, or when they ring me the day I received a progress payment invoice to ask me to pay it. Cheeky buggers. I don't know many people who love their builders though.

We are going past the house tomorrow arvo to see if there been any progress this week (doubtful).

Oh - and you may notice we've had a fence frame erected between ours and 371 for ages now. The fencing contractor obviously started the job way too early, and had the cheek to tell the labourers off for mess still on the property. The builder told him off for going there too early, and he told them that the Owners (me) had told them to start!!! I don't even know who the bloody fencing contractor is! And now the fence frame has already been damaged.

I don't have many nice things to report ATM, can't wait till it's all over and we have our house finally!
