Update!

OK Well since our build has officially started i shall get my butt in gear and try to keep up to date with the blog!

24/10/09 - We put our official building sign up today! Woohoo!

29/10/09 - Block has been excavated. Hooray finally we see something after months of changing this and that and finalising plans! 2 weeks later we had massive holes dug ready for retaining walls to be built.
Things have been frustratingly slow! Slab was suppose to be poured today (20/11) but nothing has happened for over a week and we still have those big empty holes! Called our consultant today who chased things up and called me back with news that the retaining walls should be going in next Tuesday 24/11. Lets see! Hopefully we should have a slab before Christmas!

Its so hard to be patient sometimes :( but we will get there!

The beginning...

Ok first post!!! Getting the hang of this blogging business thanks to hubby!

So we have signed up with Rawdon Hill, gave them our holding deposit and now waiting for the final price and contract! Also waiting on finalised drawings after a few changes to original drawings! Building the Hawthorn (on display at Lyndhurst!) Wish things would move a little quicker.

Settlement on land was due yesterday (17/07/09), however due to the delays at the bank we have pushed settlement back to 31st July, 2009. Getting ready to pop the champers!

Colour consultant Janette called yesterday to book in our consultation, yet to confirm date! Went looking at bricks today! What a job. Considering Austral Canterbury or Lawson. hmm......?
