Wow that was quick with the building contract!!!! How long did that take? I'm about to update our blog and you can read about all the CARP we've been going through! How exciting for you all! Can't wait for updates! xMadmel
Hi Mel, the building contract basically took about 2 weeks from the time we settled on the land. But keep in mind we have been working at this site plan for this house since last May, adding, removing and swapping bits and pieces. So all in all, I guess, we finally agreed on everything the same night we singed the contract. We should get the first invoice, for deposit, in the next day or so. Then they can apply for council plans while we are away in Merimbula for Easter. Yippee....
