Building Approval Recieved!!

We have been advised today that we have received our building permit approval....

Fantastic news!!!!!

One more step closer to having our beautiful new house.....

A little bit of a compromise on the location of the house on the land.....we had to move it back by 300mm, to make it 4m off the corner boundary. Funny though, we thought that we were already 4m back from the boundary line but obviously we were not.....

But we are now.. (lost you yet?)

No problems, as we still have a couple of metres at the back between the alfresco and the rear fence so that is still fine...

We are very excited to see the dirt turned over, will keep you updated....

GO HENLEY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Construction Drawings Are Ready!

Well, we've been advised that the final drawings are ready and we should recieve them sometime this week. Will have to go over them and make sure everything is okay before signing them....
We've also been advised that it is about a week before they will start on the site. I'm sure that it will pass very quickly....
We will still go and check the block every week so see if anything has been done....just in case LOL...

WATER, WATER, WE'VE GOT WATER !!!!!

WOW, we went to visit our piece of dirt (again) yesterday and we were very happy to see that the water meter had been connected sometime between Wednesday 7th and Friday the 9th of November!!! I wasn't there when we visited on Melbourne Cup Day on the Tuesday.

Very exciting for us as we should have movement on site within a week or two now. My bet is about 1 week then it will be go, go, go for the site scrape.

While we were there we also met up with one of our neighbours, and they only have 2 weeks to go before they move in!!!!!

Gee we are so excited about a water meter, imagine us with only 2 weeks to go!!!!!!!

I think that we'll be blithering idiots by that time....

Must check the status of the building approval with "T" - our CSO and will update again soon.
