Re: The Rocks Place - The Summit - Mt Barker SA 131May 12, 2011 5:14 pm What a relief for you to have the sale signed off.... Everyone in the building business is complaining how quiet it is, so you're right, don't take no for an answer. Someone wants your business!!

You must be sooooo relieved. I hope the settlement goes smoothly. At least you're through cooling off. Good luck with working something out with your builder. I wouldn't accept a price increase either Re: The Rocks Place - The Summit - Mt Barker SA 134May 13, 2011 6:29 am I'm so happy you've finally had some luck with selling your house. Hopefully the builder gets back to you soon.

No backing away from it now. Hubby heard back from the builder last week and guess what......... they are going to build the house at the original price, as long as we can get a letter from our agent and our broker (might need to borrow a little for first payment) by close of business Friday. They say the first payment will be due 60 days from start. So depending when they start we my or my not have settled. I can finally get a little bit excited now and I suspect I'm going to open that bottle of Moet and will probably consume it all (might give the hubby a little sip, he's not much of a drinker). Just can't wait to see some action at the block. Re: The Rocks Place - The Summit - Mt Barker SA 137May 19, 2011 2:37 pm By the way thanks to all that continue to read and leave lovely comments. You have all helped to keep me going and to be honest there has been times when I have thought, why are we putting ourselves through all this. I hope that it won't be long before I can reward you all with some pictures of my build. So I'm sending cyber hugs to you all.
