In the coming weeks we'll have our Electrical appointment, to place power points and lighting.

Our tile selection appointment isn't until just prior to lock up stage, so we've got a few months to think about what we'd like to do, I think we've got a vague idea though.

It's great to be finally making progress, its going to be a slow process, but worth it in the end!!

Tiny step forward

Finally we've taken a baby step forward!

Today I received an email from our customer service lady to say our contour survey has been completed and they're currently compiling everything to submit our DA to council!!! Yippeee!!

No word yet on our land registration, but the loan paperwork has been signed off on and returned, so we're ready to roll!
We did notice that there are street names up, we're not 100% certain what our street name will be, but if it's what we think it is, we are pretty happy!!

I'll update more in the coming days, tomorrow is our colour & interior consultation, so looking foward to locking all of that in. We will still need to do our electrical consultation in the coming weeks.

Until next time..........

Rain rain go away!

With all the rain Sydney has been having, the final earthworks to link the two parts of the estate together been delayed, which has delayed the registration of our land.

We have spent our weekends looking through display homes and trying to get a start on our internal colour selections, so that when we sit down at the colour appointment we will have some idea of what we like.

Our landscape plan and builders plans have since been approved through the SCR board.

Here are our plans so far, there are a few things still to be tweaked before we sign off on them.
