    Yay our build has started, the site has been cut and the slab is getting poured this week. Because of stage 4 lockdown where we live now can’t go down & see our progress on the build ☹️ Will have to rely on our SS to send us photos which he hasn’t yet. Has anyone else started building yet?

    Great news Polly! I hope it progresses well! We haven’t decided on a builder yet. We are in Stage 4 too, so no visits either. We were lucky our fencer posted us a photo.

    We went with Metricon it’s been 8mths to get to this stage. We had a local guy from the island mow our lawns & he sent us photos when he had mowed the lawns, haven’t had any photos from our SS yet showing us what they have done so far.

    Hi there Polly, congratulations on your start. Mine starts in about 10 days I hope. How exciting at last. I’m living on the estate very close to my block in Wallaby Grove. What is your lot No. and maybe if you would like I can at least take some photo’s for you and send them.
    Whew what a journey its been. What time frame have Metricon given you for completion of the build?

    Hi Lexi I hope you are well. It’s been very quiet on this chat but nice to see that some action is happening at last. If I can help in any way please let me know.

    Hi Faye, that’s exciting for you too, who are you building with again?
    My name is Wendy I couldn’t use it as my nickname as it was already taken so I used Polly, anyway I would love if you could take some photos for me, it’s so hard now with this lockdown & not being able to travel more than 5klms from where we live. Our lot # is 656 Firetail Grove the corner block of Gahnia Grove & Firetail Grove, are you sure you don’t mind? I would love to see what they have done so far.

    Also Metricon gave us a 15 week build time frame.

    Our slab was poured today received an email this morning from our SS saying slab was done, I emailed him back asked if he could send me some photos because we can’t go down because of restrictions but he didn’t get back to me so I sent him a text but he said he had already left the island, so no photos

    Hi Faye,
    They are such great photos thank you so much, I managed to turn them up the right wayIt’s so hard not being able to go down to see it ourselves & the SS doesn’t seem to be too caring about us wanting photos of the stages. It’s so exciting to see how far the build has come already. Your build should be starting soon too shouldn’t it? You did the right thing moving down there before all this pandemic started.
    Wendy

    My pleasure Wendy. Mine is supposed to start on Thursday. My moving here was purely because of Covid. My plans had to change when covid hit so that’s why I am down here. In hindsight its great that I am here so I can keep an eye on things. I will keep my eye on yours and send photo’s again.

    Hi Faye,
    Yes you did the right thing moving down to the island, that’s exciting for you your build starting this week, yay. If you do get a chance to take more photos of ours that would be lovely of you, I think our colourbond roof goes on tomorrow. Can’t wait to move down the island really looking forward to it & meeting you. Again thank you so much for doing this. Wendy

    Hi Wendy, yes at long last! Cut and fill on Thursday, set out Friday, piering and retaining walls being done today.
    Your roof hasn’t gone on yet, but you do have gutters! I’m going out later to look at my block so will send photos if your roof is on.

    Hi Faye,
    That’s exciting for you, is your block on a slope? Re-retaining wall? Are you having a waffle slab? Who are you building with?
    That would be great if you could send photos of our roof on our SS sent me an email today saying roof was going on today & tomorrow, but didn’t sent me one photo ☹️
