That view ???

But who buys a water meter?? Really. Lol people

Why in earth would anyone want yo steal a water meter???

Don't stress Tungfsi. They over order quite a bit to allow for cuts and breaks. Your carpenter may have even grabbed some to level something up temporarily

Exciiiiitiiiiinnnngggg!!!! You can step it all out and finally get a sense of space

Yaaay!! Full steam ahead

I'm so glad you did this given everything that's been on the news this week. How awful ?
We are in the process of working through everything with APS.

A slab!!!!! Wahoooooo I hoped you had a celebratory drink what a huge milestone

I think it's the right thing to do hon. If it makes you feel any better, we spent over 2 years with a builder dragging a house to site only…

Nice loo Tungfai
I was surprised to see that the estate hadn't washed away this week!

Sorry twindad, I quoted you by mistake lol

Hi Melobius
We spent two years and sold our family home to build a "custom" home through one of the mid range project builders. In May of this year we…

Maybe they'll contact you when the slab is about to get poured?

Hopefully they'll be in touch soon, if not contact them lol

It's a bit exciting!! Have they told you how long they think they'll be at site for or a build time?

"Driving"

Oh that is for trenching and levelling. They put that down before all of the re-enforcing goes in
Your block looks almost flat now
I would be ftiving by…

Lol I'm always driving aimlessly around up there, we are probably passing each other in our cars

LOL, I was going to say the same thing. I went for a bit of a drive around on Monday and noticed that your rubbish was gone, this was just…

We are in the early stages with APS. They are a custom builder and are amazing. It took them two weeks to get us to the same place that a…

We are in the early stages with APS Homes after spending 2 years with another builder trying to get an undercroft style house to site. They bit off more than…

Hi Tungfai
All the best with your build, I hope it goes really smoothly for you!! I'll be watching with keen interest we are building in the same estate and…

I also keep meaning to say, apparently Mitcham charge a premium rate for vacant blocks, once a house is built the rates reduce. It's their way of encouraging people to…

It's really sucky. Be nice if you weren't charged for the honour of having those connections run past your block wouldn't it :/

Meshelf it's because you have a water and sewerage connection. Even if you don't have a meter, not toilet, SA water charge you for the privilege ?

Whichever builder you go with, insist on a breakdown of everything that they are including.
Unfortunately we found out the hard way (after two years of working with a builder) that…

First off there are so many lovely kitchens on this thread and I used them for inspiration.
Well finally I get to show a little of my kitchen/ scullery.…

Hi guys, I just thought I would bump this thread to see how you were going with Scott Salisbury. I adore their homes and they are at the top of…

Hi there
Are you referring to the shark grip at the top of the cupboard that you have in lieu of a drawer or cupboard handle? Where the cupboard or draw…

thanks or your reply honey. We are in a medium bushfire area but not sure that we would be able to get a pole house through our encumbrance manager.…
