If this had've come up 9 months ago when we got council approval, it wouldn't be such a big drama. But unfortunately for us, no-one at the builders has given our job the care and respect that it deserved and we are left to try and sort out all these issues when we just want to move in & forget the whole thing! Hopefully once this is all done, I can post some details and photos of my lovely little acre and quarter and regale you all in what has turned out to be possibly the build from hell...

Nomie- looking forward to seeing pics of the place! AKB- Do you have any pictures yet? At the moment I'm wondering how to go about eradicating 'paddy melon' or 'pig melon' from our block... We have a good amount of grassy feed but the melons are starting to take over so we have to act fast!

Yep we have booked in a removalist for this Sunday after noon. Crazy week for DH and I. We are in a bridal party for our friends wedding on Saturday. Will have to take it easy on the drinks so we are right for the move the next day! Haha. Build thread : /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=60288 Re: Anyone with Acreage - Come Say Hi 313Jul 09, 2013 12:22 am i am building on an acreage and can't figure out how big my veranda should be, it's at 1.8 now but i'm worried it's too small. we do have an alfresco at the back but would like the verandah to run at the back and the front of the house. The front is biggest concern as there could be not enough room to have some sort of sitting area. Any suggestions? Re: Anyone with Acreage - Come Say Hi 314Jul 10, 2013 5:16 pm Our verandah is 1.8. It is wide enough for a walkway and we have a bench seat by the front door, but it isn't really big enough to sit around as an entertaining area. Our Alfresco at the back is 5.2 x 7.2. Paul Re: Anyone with Acreage - Come Say Hi 315Jul 18, 2013 11:48 pm Ours is 1.8m wide as well (on the new section) on the old I thinks it's 1.5 I agree big enough for a bench seat or a couple to sit - not big enough for large entertaining (but wouldn't you do that in your alfresco area anyway?) Opps Elle sorry I didn't see the reply - Yes I have photos in my build thread we are at roof stage <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Anyone with Acreage - Come Say Hi 316Jul 25, 2013 9:42 am Hi, In the last 3 years I've gone from 1000 acres to 46 acres to 9 acres to 5 acres, weening myself off it. 1 4761 Wish you all the best.
