The first year they pretty much misled us as to where the land was in council. 3 months, 3 more months, 3 more months, then in another 3 months we settled on the land. Has been almost 12 months now since settling. We originally walked into Fairmont over 24 months ago. At least I wasn't paying off land for the first 12 months. The land was so delayed we made all our selections before it settled haha. We picked our colours/tiles etc almost 18 months ago.. can't remember anything we picked... Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 32Feb 27, 2015 1:32 pm feroshious that is just awful! Terrible of them to do that I go to Playgroup in Meadows in Fridays and this morning they are kerbing!! They were just around the bend at 10 am and by 11:45 they were up to about out block (57)! I am really hoping the engineers can get out there very soon now! At the pace they were moving today I imagine all kerbing on both sides would be done no later than mid next week? Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 33Feb 27, 2015 3:29 pm Yeah these builders can work fast when they want to. I grew up in Meadows (go up to folks every 2 week). Was thinking of moving into the estate, but went with Woodcroft as closer to home. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 34Feb 27, 2015 3:56 pm There is hope for us all yet! A friend of mine got notification today that her house will be ready in 4 weeks. She's building in the Barossa with Devine. 6 weeks in council and the slab was poured on jan 30th, roof went on on Tuesday this week! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 35Feb 28, 2015 10:44 am Hi Everyone, love this idea of a forum to get to know people before we move up to Meadows. My hubby and I have purchased lot 65 Aurora Circuit and we have 4 children, twin girls 10 years old, 1 son 8 years old and our youngest girl 6 years old. Am going up to Mawson Green tomorrow and hoping to see some progress. We r building with Hickinbotham the design is Rochester Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 36Feb 28, 2015 11:44 am Hi! 10yr old girls on our street! Yay! My soon to be 10yr old would love that! Where do you live now? Will the kids go to the local school? Our daughter wants to meet with the principal and then decide. I think your design was on our shortlist! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 37Feb 28, 2015 11:48 am We currently live in Hackham West and yes they will be going to the local school, to far travel everyday when we move. When my girls get home they will be so happy to hear that there are other children moving there around the same age as them, where we live now there are no children to play with and our street is to busy for them to go out the front and ride bikes ect, ect. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 38Feb 28, 2015 1:07 pm Hi! So glad to have you join us in our chatter Good to hear there will be lots of children around, and getting to know people in our community was one of the reasons we chose Meadows. I will be sure to check out the Rochester You'll have to let us know if anything new has happened down there after your visit tomorrow! Thats awesome news about the kerbing Jakki! We drove through on Wed and its looking a lot better than last time! One of our worries is the slope of the backyard - do you guys have any plans for yours? We def want a shed but are not sure how much flattening out and retaining we'll need to do... Also, your friend's house went up super quick - that is promising! I wish we could come down to playgroup but I work on Fridays... do you know if they do it any other days? Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 39Feb 28, 2015 1:16 pm With our house the study is our 5th bedroom, but it's a lot bigger than our current 5 bed home. I will definitely post tomorrow after having a look. We have been told that our home want be ready till March-April 2016 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 40Feb 28, 2015 3:39 pm That's great! We live in a street of kids now and it's great having them out riding bikes and scooters all the time. We went down there today (again) and both sides of the road have ALL the kerbing in! I'm keen to see what the next week holds. I'll be on to our builder to get that engineer out there now! We are worried too-we were told by Ben that once they have shaped the land the fall will be 1-1.5m sloping across from the back left to the front right and for the full 41m. I'm not so sure that will be right though! I still have no idea how to add a photo on here to show you our scribbles. What we want to do is level the block so the lawn is level with the house then have a retaining wall further back. back right corner, and i guess we either dig that out too and retain behind it or have it up higher. Hubby wants car access to it-that's the ONLY thing we are arguing over with the whole build haha. I want a nice open garden, not a driveway through the yard. My Step Dad's brother has a bob cat and a truck so we are hoping he will do us a good deal-so maybe would could get an even better deal if we both used him lol. It's just his second job he does occasionally No playgroup is just the Fridays. The Church in the main street does a music class (2 i think) on Wednesdays and it's $2. I havent been as we go to the playgroup at Charlotte's school on Wednesdays but next year if she moves to Meadows Primary then I will probably go. Apparently the Kindergym at Strath is really good so we might change from Seacliff to Strath perhaps. Wish you all the best.
