I went down to the block on Thursday 13/12/07 to check if the earthmoving equipment was there ready for the site scrape on the 14/12 (the revised date).
But didn't i get a surprise when i drove down the street (which by the way is all abuzz with building activity!!!!) to find a toilet on our block....... at it has already been scraped and set out!!!!!!!!

Woooo Hooooo how happy was i?????
The revised timeframes given were:
14/12/07 - Site cut - COMPLETED 11/12
7/01/08 - Set Out - COMPLETED 11/12
8/01/08 - Drains
9/01/08 - Underground Power
10/01/08 - Concreter to start
We can only hope that the drains, power and concrete is on-schedule for first week back in January or earlier would be great too....
No fences yet though, no problems there.
Had a small issue with some tradies from Carlisle Homes though. There is one of their homes being built 2 doors down, and they sent an apprecntice over to gather water from our tap!!!!
Anyway i sent him packing and the next day we went back with a padlock to lock the meter.....that should put an end to their theiving days!!!!
But i suppose i'll have to keep it unlocked when our builder starts back on site.....don't want to hold anything up now because of lack of water now do we????

Hi - following you blog with interest. I particularly like you time table with the revisions. Great idea!
On the water situation - isn't the builder responsible for paying the water charges up to handover?
The might be stealing their own water.
Keep up the good work!
Hi guys, thanks for your comments, i thought that the timeline would avoid any confusion to our blog visitors.
Re: the water, the tradies using it were from a Carlisle Homes site, 2 doors down!!!! We have already paid a drainage charge but are yet to recieve a water usage bill, so we will wait and see. Either way we will have to remove the lock soon as our tradies will need access to the water...
