Noticed quite a draft and high pitched whistle coming through our front bedroom windows the last few nights with…

That's about right I think. Ours was just over a week but that's because there were 7 blokes working on it and we waited over 6 weeks for brickies to…

We were also told they were a fair bit more expensive so didn't do it. The. Again we were also told it was way more expensive for 2.7m ceilings but…

I think it's optional. Our neighbors recycled water main does not look like it is connected. I think you will require a rainwater loop to be installed if your not…

It's pathetic and petty from realtysa. They have taken our money and don't care about their customers anymore. Their excuse of 'we don't want to spoil the aesthetic of the…

We have not really had the time lately to follow up too much more with the council - to be honest I got so worked up last time I didn't…

Haha. I'm in a very different situation here MJT. I've been meaning to let you know what's going on but not got around to it. It's a very big problem…

Hmmm I'll have to look because they are the ones refusing to or not letting us do it. Even at our own expense. I'll look around tonight. We've been having…

Where does it say that? And who told you that? Through realty sa or the council? We're having a hell of a time getting it corrected.

It's a lovely place to live! We are extremely happy living I. Seaford meadows. Fairmont built our place and we love it. A few issues here and there throughout the…

Ahh I thought you were building down at Seaford meadows! Must be getting mixed up with someone else

Oh cool. That's good news. Are you train station side or shopping centre side?
Our driveway invert (the kerb ramp bit) is 4m wide, yet our block is 15m wide and…

Has any of that land where your building settled yet heather? We love nearby and are wondering why no building has started there yet. It looks like the land has…

I don't remember the name. It was a lady though and she was really nice and helpful. We were stressed at the beginning but got more relaxed as we went…

We had loads of trouble with questions about fibre optic allowances. No one seemed to know anything about what was required. Luckily I have a friend who is an electrician…

Seaford meadows. Lots of grange brick houses.

Plenty of grange down here.

They have proffered builders and trades but they are still just sub contractors. If you look closely most of the signage on vans are just magnets. At least they are…

... And we're in! After an epic weekend moving and starting to dig stormwater drains we are finally seaford meadows residents! Lots of work still to do but looking forward…

Our slab was down around the 20th of jan. PCI was Wednesday just gone - 5th August. Our original estimated PCI date was 21 July so not too far off…

We were really lucky we talked our salesperson into including loss of lights for us so we had a light switch for everywhere we wanted down lights. 40 for each…

To be honest i was really happy with the electrical work other than the height on the outside lights. We got a few TV point lights at about 1100 to…

Is that the elec appointment at Clipsal? If it is we didn't do that. We sat down with a friends mum who runs a lighting store to do our lighting…

We had our PCI today! I have to say Fairmont have been excellent the last month or two, they have been extremely helpful and really pushed hard to get trades…

Make sure you think about window coverings too. We chose to make the most of our space and chose 2.4m wide doors and windows in much of our house and…

We're making our own, spotlight and a sewing a machine isn't as hard as it seems. Custom curtains and blinds are silly prices. 40k is well over the top, bugger…

One other thing we found important talking to friends in real estate and thinking about it more carefully is the three way main bathroom. This is more guest friendly and…

That's so similar to our house design, if a little bigger. We decided it was more important to not build so close to the boundary on the garage side though…

We were told that any footings estimations couldn't be finalized until the kerbs were in so they could get levels correct, which now seems to make sense however our house…

Well I must say the last week Fairmont have really impressed us. They contacted us when they said they would and we now have a really lovely person in the…
