Jim the Texan is my husband. Just go onto facebook and do a search for Wallara Waters group and make a request to join. Michelle will then authorise you.

I dont have his phone number with me at work but will look for it when I get home. His name is Arthur and he seems to be the preferred…

I could have written this same post last week. Went to check on my locked up house and counted 30 cigarette butts on the study floor. I lodged a complaint…

Once your land is titled and they redo your soil test go out there and visually confirm that holes have in fact been dug in the ground. I have a…

I agree completely. I would have been happy to pay the money for the piers had we needed them but paying extra for an overengineered block is money I could…

We were also told we need piering due to the result of a soil test which we knew was never even done! After contesting this with the builder the soil…

Also as an FYI you cannot apply for an extension unless the application for the FHOG has been submitted to the SRO. You will need to include the reference (UIN#)…

I am also building with PD who expect payment within 7 days (???). I withheld my payment till after the inspector had been and then till after all the issues…

Yes it is red. Ive always wanted a red front door, even before they became trendy. I hope not everyone in the street also has a red door! So what…

Thanks Michelle.
My bricks arrived today, at first they looked darker than I expected and I almost freaked out. Then i walked around them and saw a few different shades. I…

Im secretly happy that we were forced to choose a new brick. I didnt realise how popular Jarrah was at the time we chose it aboit 12 months ago. The…

We have been victims of the Boral brick drama and have been forced to reselect our bricks. Unfortunately we have been unable to change any of our other colors as…

The sales reps at Boral suggested Leura as an alternate for the Jarrah. They then provided us with some local addresses of houses that have used this brick. I am…

we've helped them with what appears to be some much needed quality control.
You would think this would be true wouldnt you? Unfortunately the soil test of the customer with…

If I was being charged for the upgrade then i would be calling Boral to confirm this and then calling my builder and ripping them a new one. In our…

Just reading it has made me relive the entire drama, thanks Tony. LOL. Cant wait to read about the soil tests (I will need a maragarita by my side as…

Our Jarrah brick (cat1) is also not available and we were offered a free upgrade to any boral brick (from any category) as long as its available. We have chosen…

When are you going to mention that despite all the dramas associated with the build that you are very fortunate to be blessed with some wonderful future neighbours?

oops. They are woodland gray too. The front door is wattyl scorpian (red) but if necessary I am sure we could get this changed.

Our brickies were due to start next week but due to the Melbourne storms causing the asbestos filled roof of the boral plant to cave in our bricks are no…

just testing

Can I ask where you got your king size bed from??

I dont blame the engineers at all, after all they can only work with the information that they are given. Im a career geek too, just with test tubes instead…

I do have this for the soil test that was not done. They even managed to generate a report on the results they got but I can state with 100%…

I should probably take a step back and explain a little about the background of the situation. Our builder commisioned a soil test and we were informed that the soil…

This is probably a really stupid question but can someone explain to me what engineering is? Our builder has told us that the engineering report for our block was completed…

Holy cr@p!! Thats like a trip to europe every 2 months lol.

What do you anticipate that your fortnightly loan repayments will be? Take that amount every fortnight and put it away in a savings account. Its also good practice for living…

Actually this is the CBA's fault. I pay them enough in interest that they can afford to hire more staff to do their job. After all isnt this why we…

We only have the one loan with CBA and did not have to contribute all the funds at land settlement. I do agree with you that the construction aspect of…
