Hi Sfern,
Our house has reached the fixup stage. My blog does not reflect it as i haven't had the time to update it. But everything going well.

Within a week of the slab being down, the frame was up and looking wonderful! It's been 3 weeks2days since the slab went down, and the windows and sliding doors are all in and the roof is going on as we speak. It's so exciting! We had been thinking (thanks to Devine's severe lack of communication skills) that it was looking like March, but then my husband spoke to the site supervisor the other day who was trying for Christmas! He now estimates almost everything will be done by Christmas but they'll have a few things to finish after the break. So now thinking end of Jan. It would have been so perfect if it was done by Christmas, especially since I'm a teacher and I have to go back Jan 24 so I'll just miss out!

EdenBrook Pakenham 118Nov 19, 2012 7:03 am Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that you can get your front garden taps moved if u need to.. To be honest we never thought about it but when we started our frog landscaping planning we realised how annoying they are right in the middle. I noticed most people's are in The same spot too.. We had ours moved right near the left edge of our block so try aren't in the way anymore. Cost is about $350ish as the the mains needed to be 'frozen' and it took about 2hours. Was worth it for us as now we don't have to plan around them. If anyone wants the number of the Plumber we used let me know Re: EdenBrook Pakenham 119Nov 21, 2012 10:28 pm Hi Everyone, This is just a article that i read in the news.... http://www.itnews.com.au/News/319326,gr ... dband.aspx This really sucks.... Hi Wateman, did you get connected to the broadband and how are the speeds? Re: EdenBrook Pakenham 120Nov 22, 2012 11:43 am Swedil Hi Wateman, did you get connected to the broadband and how are the speeds? Hi Swedil, We have internet through Aftel currently (not on a plan, just paying month to month) on a 50MBps plan. To be honest with you, the speeds have been perfectly fine! I checked them regularly, especially early on, and really couldn't complain. There have been the odd times when it has been a little slow, but honestly after coming from another house in Pakenham on standard ADSL internet, this internet has not been an issue at all. I am a reasonably heavy user too, with downloads and such (*Computer Nerd) and as much as I would like the 100MBps speeds if available, the speed I have received has been fine so far. I think most of the issue that article is referring to comes from the early days when Multinet were the only provider available, and the early residents could sign up for the 100MBps speeds, we moved in not long after Multinet were no longer allowed to sign new customers, so in the end we might have just missed out on all this mess! I honestly wouldn't worry about the problems mentioned in that article. I think CNT have learnt their lesson, they aren't offering speeds they can't provide now, and they will be watched closely by the ACCC and all the residents too. Just keep an eye on the speeds you get, and complain if they seem less that what you have paid for. |
