Looks like decent sized yards.
Huh, I don't know if we have soakwells in Vic. The rain just makes the ground wet XD

It sure is a good size. I can't wait to get in & start doing it up. I miss having a decent backyard. The place i'm currently renting has just a strip of garden bed along the back fence and a gravel pathway. It's a good thing the back of the house faces north so i can sit in the sun under the alfresco even on the sunny winter days. I've already started planning both front & backyard. Going for a classic formal european layout for the front. The backyard i'm keeping fairly basic. Making allowances for small garden shed & clothesline which will be shielded by a hedge of viburnum tinus maybe; also thinking a pergola or a gazebo in the corner which will get the late afternoon sun; paving of course, and garden beds around the perimeter I'll post a pic of my preferred garden plans once i've decided on it. Now i gotta work out what plants are included in the front landscaping package (hopefully the same as my previous house).

My CLO phoned yesterday to advise that the brickies should be starting next week. I also received the first invoice from the builder yesterday too. Promptly forwarded that to the bank. Today, my bf & i went to check out the block together. He seems very interested & impressed with how things are going. I think he like my choice in bricks too Building SOR with Dreamstart Homes Customised Dream Dior/Summer Sensation https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=83776 Re: Doing it again 128Aug 30, 2016 3:51 pm I received a call from my clo yesterday, informing me that the brickies were on schedule to start Wednesday. Lo & behold, I drove past my block to find that the brickies had already made a start on the back walls. I'll go back again later on today to take pics.

The pics really don't do the bricks justice - they have a pink/reddish tinge to them that doesn't really show well in these pics.
