They go in with the slab. Concrete gets poured over the top of them.

Found out that we went 60 odd metres over our piering allowance... just want to cry, such an expensive hit.. Like

yay another Monte Carlo. Out council took a while as well.
Good luck with it

Pretty much final payment and certificates for your house.
So close now.

Yes they have started building on that side.

It was really funny, there was this weird silence when I was around a lot of phone calls and death stares.

Just some advice for all of you. Be careful of your neighbours builders, we just discovered that they have been using our water for the brick work etc.. To top…

Hating banks at the moment.

Yep, but it goes for all houses.

We have started getting quotes now and will get the Insurance once we know the handover date and MDJ are organising the certificate.

Pci Tuesday and handover the week after hopefully. Busy busy times ahead.

Hi maxlucy.
Your situation sounds very similar to ours. Speak to your CLO regarding this. We went over the 150 days and MDJ were very good about it, we didn't get…

No problems. Getting that date out of them took a while, but keep asking.
We are building the Monte Carlo.

Since your up to tiling, i'll start from that point.
Our tiling started on the 30th of March, bench tops installed on the 12th of April, painting finished on the…

Last week was just hopeless. We were all delayed by the looks of the posts on here

A nice surprise to find the house almost complete, just hot water system to go.

I have to agree with you 100%, we have a rough date, but no set date. I have to tell my boss I need to move some holidays back. …
