One thing you should consider when its time to get the house painted, is to see if the painter can roll out a colour for your car whilst he's there. Its already sealed and primed, so it shouldn't cost that much extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha...I'll pay it though it was tied in nicely, I only realised right near the end of the sentence Brennan...well that's interesting... Jen has a substantial amount of cash coming which is the only way we can afford a 5 acre block AND build relatively soon so it might not be an issue.Chippa...yeah my brakes are working fine so far, I've bled them before, back when dad showed me how, good on him. We didn't know about moving the caliper vertical though. Funny thing is the brakes only feel marginally better with brand new fluid in there. Braided lines one day maybe...Arron, I think you're right about the fuel. Since using V Power the rubber on my rear KU31's is flaking off in big chunks, must be the extra power and not the many heat cycles they have endured Also Jen liked the houses from Stanford, we'll get a ballpark price and see if they are in our range, ignoring any special deals.

I guess the builders can now be a lot more selective about their trades so what's more important is how they deal with problems!I reckon you can't go wrong with any of the builders in the ABN group though Edited 14/09/11 12:28 AM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Donkey Dick Member 801 Member For: 14y 8m 28d Gender: Male Posted 14/09/11 03:01 AM Share Posted 14/09/11 03:01 AM To get a quality home, you need to go through a small construction company such as Total Construction, operated by Ross (tinyplums) & Matt (Esky). They deal with a limited number of projects at a time, meaning attention to detail is there. Big companies such as Dale Alcock & Gemmill load each supervisor with 30+ homes at a time, meaning alot of the work (all subcontracted out to smaller specialised companies) is not checked appropriately/at all.You get what you pay for in the house building game, much like any other service these days. If you want perfection you either have to go owner builder or open your wallet & prepare to be shafted... Without lube (Unless of course you use Total Construction)./Shameless Plug.
