You must be glad to be in. AFM, we had piers done yesterday. What a mess that makes to your block. We think slab is being poured next week sometime. MR and Coastie, what have you had done now? We should be able to work out when we are all being done. Also, how long does it take for plumbing to be done? Is this next step after piering? Then formwork then slab poured?

We have been told 2-3 weeks tops at beginning of this week so we have given notice and FINALLY we are no longer paying rent as we pay a few weeks in advance! From what we can see there is only - hot water system, carpet, door handles, fly screens, alarm and painting the outside render when the rain decides to bug off! They cleaned up the last pile of rubbish the other day and actually leveled our block a bit for us too, very happy.

Also, it's good to see you've got the laundry next to the family room, the Wentworth that we built with Beechwood 20yrs ago has the laundry next to Bed 3, it is such a nuisance ! Re: Who is building with Beechwood 1415Oct 29, 2011 12:19 pm MR, i hadnt seen your final plans, WOW, your living rooms are huge. Cant wait to watch your build.

Very sweet of you both. Springtime- Ahh yes, the Wentworth. Extremely tiny laundry off the rumpus and next to my bed 4. In those days, I changed ONE thing and that was the linen cupboard. Base price for that house which was very big in those days was $85,000. LOL!! My site costs were $6000. The good old days. Hope things start moving for you soon, and other builders are reasonable with their quotes for finishing your house. What a nightmare you are going through. But at least you know where you stand now, at long last. Acrebuild-I changed a few things after contract. I remember asking you about the cupboards you put in your family room to get an idea of costs. After asking you, I went ahead with my changes. So glad I did. Just had a look at your photos. I'm loving your chandelier. Very posh indeed.

Re the Wentworth, our site costs were $6000 too! must have been a standard thing for them back then, & quite agree with you about the laundry .... But like I said, I love your living space, it's HUGE !!! Re: Who is building with Beechwood 1418Oct 31, 2011 7:15 pm Been a bit quiet in here lately. MR and Coastie, any action since slab was done? Any idea how long slab is left to cure before framing? We had plumbing done today. Have no idea when slab is being laid as formwork was meant to have been done today. But this was held up as plumbing was not done.
