What the ???????

We officially paid our 5% Deposit today, after nearly 12 months of changing and swapping things around. Totally our doing, as we nearly bought in one estate and changed to another that the titles were released on in Feb 08. The builder (well Nathan because we haven't really spoke to anyone else up until now) has been fantastic.

When I went to the office today to pay the deposit, I was informed that Sth East Water have some issues with our being 3.3 metre from the rear fence line, the easement is 2.5 and our building envelope is 3 metres off the back fence. "So it shouldn't be a problem", I said. Wrong!

Apparently they (Sth East Water) have not laid the pipes exactly where they should have been and we need to loose 360mm of the back of the house.... I am beginning to get some sort of phobia to rulers and the 300mm agenda.

Anyway back to the drawing board now to see what we can do with the plans....

Bloody ducks............& Platypuses....

We should be getting our first official, Bill soon. The official deposit in order for the application to council for the building plans, hopefully that should only take about 3 weeks, probably 2 if Easter was not upon us. But by the time we get back from the break, we should be really close to a start date..... Yippeee.....

Our exterior colours for anyone interested will be exactly the same as the display home for which there is a link at the top of this page.

Our interiors colours and designs are yet to be selected, we will do this also when we get back from Easter break.

P.S.... I hope every ones Easter will be as enjoyable as ours and don't forget to keep safe.......

Let the games begin........

Building Contract signed sealed and delivered........ Let's get a wriggle on....

Ahoy, my matey's. I see land.........

Well, well, well! Bugger me!

We have settlement on our block of land, Yippee....

We have only been waiting 4 months, we were originally suppose to have title release in Oct 07. But the developer was running behind schedule. Not to worry, now we have to get the contract signed which should be in the next few days and then go and pick tiles & carpet and paint colours for the inside. Everything outside has already been chosen, it will be the same as the display home.

Let's get the party started..........
