Site Start

At last! Our Metricon CSR informed us this afternoon that our file has finally been released to construction and we can expect the slab to be down within 20 working days.

In the meantime, the scrape/excavation/fill, peg-out, plumbing etc. can now begin. We'll also be expecting an introduction from our SS.

The last month has mostly been a three way tango between the bank, builder and ourselves to get all the paperwork finalised and signed off.

Six months after the first sales appointment and deposit, it's fair to say that the excitement is now starting to build up. :)

Meet The Neighbours

By sheer luck of timing when we visited our block today, we were fortunate and delighted to meet our neighbours on both sides who happened to be visiting their blocks at the same time.

Olga, Louie and Alana to our left, and owner builder Andrew to our right - who was there with his family inspecting his site cut.

Everyone was lovely. Our daughter Mikaela and neighbour's daughter Alana started playing together immediately - was great to see.

Council Approved

After having to re submit our plans to council due to the positioning of the retaining walls.

Our DA status on the Hills DA Tracking website finally shows us as approved. Hurray! Now we just need the determination documentation and stamped plans, then we can take that to the bank (or so the saying goes). Hopefully we will get the stamped plans this week...
