future neighbours

We met a couple of our new neighbours while visiting the block on sunday. They seem nice. one couple was saying they had some of their windows stolen ( their house is currrently being built) and a house further down the st , had all their windows stolen. When you dont have people living in your st the thieves abound. Lucky we are starting later this year by then we will have people living in the street to keep a eye on things.. still not happy about the builders mess on my block it gets worse each time i go there.. my neighbour said throw it back.. yeah not a good idea to cause trouble at this stage with the neighbours.I have been taking fotos and informing Pd about it anyway.

Took a drive to Cardina lakes Pakenham . PD have their Lifestyle range there. Im going to be building a Heywood 28 and PD dont have one built ..well so i thought until the sales lady said theres a Heywood 28 around the corner being used as a land sales office by Peet . I went around and the guy was happy to unlock it for me and i had a look inside and took lots of fotos. It was great to finally get a birds eye view of how big our house was going to be. It was a such a mess in side and no furniture . without the furniture and decor to look at you can actually see the real thing. Iwas worrid about the size of the 2nd shower in this house is smaller i got the tape measure out and the width of the door is 530 millimetres .. its sooo narrow. I had to turn side ways to get in. and im a small build. A big person wouldnt get through the opening.this is a huge design error. On my plans our shower seems to bigger than this one hopefully we wont have problems.

upgrade of paint product

We have decided to upgrade our paint. The paint PD uses is a Washable Velvet, which in our opinion and the opinion of a trade centre (which i wont name)isnt as good as Wattyl ID and Solar Guard. We used ID and Solar Guard on our last house and finger marks and grease wash off really well. So this upgrade will cost us an extra $1,300 which is money well spent, as if we went with the other product we would have to re paint alot sooner and and spend more.

Our sales consultant said that we will be getting the drawings in a couple of weeks to look over, then they will send our file to construction and apply for building permit in nov building start dec !!!yippee!!! not long to go now:)))))

We wanted to have mouldings around the front windows . This would have been a upgrade of $800 decided to leave it . We

the lake and wetlands

im jealous

had to give megan from pd a copy of my infrastructure levy receipt so hopefuly things will start moving. went for a drive to our block noticed two blocks have had their slabs poured i was soooo jealous!!!! why cant that be us????): the land next to mine has been scrapped that block is for a pd prestige im told and two blocks down is a pd access. i guess the lifestyle range like mine is more popular thats why mines taking longer to get started. most of the houses in my street will be pd. i have shots of the land and heywood display in my camera and fone will have to download them here.
