Re: Our Coral Heron:We're in and LOVING IT! 18Feb 12, 2009 9:37 am After waiting so long for things to happen on our patch of grass, pictures of portaloo's, dirt, and churned up dirt are super exciting to us. Every day we're one step closer. I met a guy on Tuesday who is doing a quote for polished concrete for me and I think its going to come in quite reasonably priced. I've seen 2 of his jobs now and my concern is that the sealer he uses has a yellow tinge to it which gives the concrete a brown tone. Nice if its brown you want, but I'm looking for more a of natural grey colour. So, I'll have to have a chat to him today and see if there's something else we can use. This is the sort of look I'm after, not sure if we can achieve it though:

Congrats for getting to block finally cut. I drove past there yesterday and saw you place getting started... Hope this rain isnt holding you guys up to much. Love your colours too! Seems as our street is the "big house street" both of the houses that have slabs next to me (on the left) look pretty big too, great news for us, because its not like we are getting little rental specs built near us, like in Easy street. HOME- is where your story begins! Re: Our Coral Heron:We're in and LOVING IT! 20Feb 18, 2009 1:34 pm The rain is making me want to cry right now .
The block has been scarified to 600mm because of the clay soil and is currently filling up like a swimming pool. The plumber can't do anything until the rain stops and the water drains. They're checking daily and our SS was adamant that he'd do everything possible to get us back on schedule again, but this rain looks pretty well set in. We must be cursed. Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14759 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4837 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24262 |
