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... :-)
