Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide-MOVING! 284Sep 22, 2011 9:06 pm https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide-MOVING! 287Sep 28, 2011 3:40 pm Thanks Noelz, Well still no cigar on concreting so getting DP footy mate around tonight to price paving as he will probably do a good deal if we help him with it. Couldnt believe he is coming only 24hours after our phonecall and still have not heard back from ANY concreters. SO WE HAVE MOVED IN!!!!! Im loving it but not loving the boxes and lack of furnitue. We have TV now which a blessing and the splash back went in Monday and lights were in on Friday. I will post pics tomorrow as dont have much time today. Carpets also look amazing!. So soft. OUr other lounge is being delivered on Saturday, hoping to buy letterbox and washing maching on long weekend as I have another 3 days off next week to get settled. Just missing the dining table which wont be here til November. Better go and purchase some bar stools off ebay as only have the couch to eat on and not too comfortable with eating pasta off a brand new couch. Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide-MOVING! 288Sep 28, 2011 7:02 pm Congratulations on moving in I am sure it won't be long before you are all unpacked and it feels like home !! Not good news about the concreters Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide-Decorating :) 289Oct 31, 2011 2:05 pm Just realised I havent posted on my own thread for over a month oops. Well we've been in for a month now and slowly getting there. Unpacked my last box yesterday Sorry Ive been really slack with photos, still have no internet and internet at work wont let me upload to photobucket but on the phone to telstra now to get it all connected so I can have internet at home. Inside is now done a few more things to do more decorating wise but all the big things are done. Laundry hopefully gets fitted this week so thatll be nice. Also paving on the driveway should start this week (weather pending) who would have thought we would still be at the mercy of the weather gods? After all my rants and raves re concreters we ended up going for paving, turned out much cheaper too (luckily we know someone in the trade) so will be nice to not walk dirt all through the house. 3 month maintainance is up in a couple of weeks and only have 3 things on the list. a leaking toilet and the kitchen outlet pipe - only picked this up yesterday. Looks like someone put a massive hole in it and just siliconed it back together now thats coming off so leaking water. also 1 item from handover still hasnt been fixed (re-align all windows and doors). all in all pretty happy. Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide-Decorating :) 290Oct 31, 2011 2:59 pm Yay ... lucky you not too much wrong. Look forward to seeing some of your "moved in" pics ... I haven't taken many either since moving in ... must get my finger out!

Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide-Decorating :) 291Dec 09, 2012 9:58 am Just signed up on the forums and found this thread. It's been really great reading it and seeing the progress you have had. We are building the Lyndhurst so it's funny to look at the photos you have taken of your house as it gives us a good sneak peak minus the 4th bedroom. Looking forward to seeing more pictures once you've settled down and got it how you like it!

All going ok, front yard has been completed and now pretty established. Had all the major back landscaping done (done 2 levels of bluestone rocks) and done the paving and laid some grass then we hit the dreaded neighbour issue! We are currently seeking legal advise but basically they have built 1m higher then us so are responsible for 80% cost of a MUCH NEEDED retaining wall but are not coming to the party. say they have no money so unfortunately everything else has been put on hold because of this retaining wall (not to mention the flooding down the side of our house because of their lack of stormwater catchment and not being able to pave down the side so hoping not too much damage is being done to our slab. In the meantime been busy planning our wedding and doing bits and pieces. Still not 100% happy with my decorating but im leaving that to not having the money to spend. Overall happy with the house but a couple of little things im not happy with the finishes but just need to have some time to spend fixing it up (to my standard) and Ill be happy.
