Hey folks, I'm resurrecting this post. The reconstituted blocks now are almost luminous green. I've tried WET and FORGET, waited for 4 weeks then pressure washed and it doesn't work on the limestone reconstituted blocks. I've tried pure chlorine and left for 24 hours then pressure washed and...

Very exciting, keep us informed.

Lol, too funny.

I'm using Shahin from Elite Finance. Seems very good so far.

Thanks Westminster, it was a hard choice. But a very valuable lesson learnt. Something I could never have learnt in a seminar, course or any book.

Yeah its the cash from us that's stopping us. Its OK, we're happy with what we're doing now, the multi dwellings were just too expensive, risky and time consuming. PS we are keeping the triplex units, we're in this for cash flow.

Lol so true, I once worked in a team of 16, four of us were called Dave.

Cisco networking. Routing and switching plus a little voice. Just started working for Fujitsu in Projects, cushy role. You?

In IT, hate IT :D However love IT for giving me the dollars to develop property. You really know you don't like your job when the money is awesome, you work from home, your self employed and you still hate it. Should've studied architecture when leaving school but too much in a rush to...

Coming from a similar background. I would triple check you can even do the options that you are considering. Talk to council, independent town planner, people in this forum. I've been recently in a position where I had a bunch of options and none of them would work and its 1 year later and I'm...

Sorry Blacky, no photos. We we there as we're thinking of going with the same builder. Never thought of taking any photos, especially as they're not our units.

So were definitely going down the road of a triplex. Looking at builders now. Got pre-approval for the loan. Feeling like it's the right thing to do. Looking at it calmly without emotion. Thanks everyone for your input. It's been a hard slog but could have been a lot harder. Dave

Hi MTR, we visited your devlopment in Spearwood yesterday, no.8 and 15. Jumped from one unit to the other trying to avoid the rain :D The units look real swish, awesome attention to detail. The internal features such as the coffered ceilings and beautiful tiling makes a real nice impact...

Hi SOP, absolutely have thought about selling it. However we've been told we'd only get $600K for it by my PM, even with the DA. That number is not substantiated though (I'm currently seeking it through the agent who's renting it out). At $600K we'd make no money and possibly a loss. And...

hi folks, I could rant and rave about what's happened with this block. To be honest I've probably pushed this too far when I should've been more cautious. I recon I've been hearing the dollar bills instead of being sensible. Don't get me wrong though, I thought I was being sensible by...

So I called Stirling Council. They said they cannot budge on conditions and the build of the two dwellings must happen simultaneously. Also 28 days is up for appeal so I now have no option but to continue or to complete a new DA, which might not get approved anyway. They also let me know...

good advice, thanks Westminster.

If we were to meet council, should I take a professional so they can understand the jargon better than me? Maybe a mortgage broker? Also want to appear humble so maybe just my wife and I?

Yeah they (PM) knew it was always our intention to build on the rear first. However they also made it clear to Council that this was our plan. I don't know how they made this clear but I understand they've got a good working relationship with the council. However on all the applications it was...

Tyhans Westminster for your reply, Yeah I'm trying to think of a way round the simultaneous builds, see the info from the DA I received on previous post to cast light on why we may no be able to do it. I'm now way an expert at this so don't know from the wording if we have any options...
