Stage 7A - Complete - SO WE THOUGHT!!!

Hope you can view our house plans above..

Well so much for thinking back at the beginning of Aug that we were ready to go.. Stage 7A is still in the titles office awaiting approval... yes it has been over a month with no word of what the hold up is!! Once it is finally approved we still have to wait another 14 days to settle and then hopefully all systems ago!

As promised I have upload our house plans.. very exciting - 36sq including garage, veranda and alfresco that looks out to the 11th green. Nice big open kitchen, my dream pantry that I could sleep in and the study I can't wait to get in and make my own!! Just realised this is an older drawing... oops... but just minor changes since, re: change to the kitchen bi-fold window and moving the island bench closer to the sink.

It feels like a life time ago now that we finalised these plans and picked external and internal colours, fixtures and features...

The only positive to waiting for our titles is that we have been saving, saving, saving...
Fingers crossed we hear this week in regards to a settlement date!!

Ciao for now :-)

Stage 7A - Complete & ready to go!!

Finally - Stage 7A is complete...

After waiting for months due to Eynesbury having to employ a new company to construct the roads, we finally got word today that our builder, Greybox Homes are able to get on site and start soil testing... :-) This is very exciting and it has been a long, long process to get to this point!

We firstly put a deposit on our block back in January of this year (2010). From then until only Friday of last week (6th Aug), it has been a bumpy ride. First of all we sat down with Greybox and decided that we would like to build a custom home. Argh!! If I had known what is was going to be like I think I might have just opted for the stock standard one... how do I explain... constant miss communication between us, Greybox and the architect, things missing from our contract, incorrect spelling of our names - the list goes on and on...

Anyway, hopefully with a bit of luck the process will go a lot smoother from now - not holding my breath, especially reading other blogs from people who are building in Eynesbury and with Greybox... but I will keep you all posted as I am sure there will be plenty of things to write about and a lot photos to post on here ... next blog I will upload our house plans... :-)
