Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A little/big change of plans now - we are expecting our first child, so we are going to stay at our current property until the house is finished. We have also been working with builders to get the house built possibly to lock up to speed up the process. Not quite what we'd planned however we are having to be a lot more flexible We are about to hand everything into council, just doing basix and the engineers report for the slab Build thread http://tinyurl.com/llgc7yk Re: Acerage 1st time Building S Highlands *owner build/kit?* 188Feb 09, 2015 1:30 pm MnT Just came across your thread and have now subscribed.

Re: Acerage 1st time Building S Highlands *owner build/kit?* 193Feb 18, 2015 8:50 pm Cat-Dunc thanks due early August! We haven't submitted it yet - but the plans are of the little loft house waiting on more quotes from builders and even considering a transportable again - trying to do whatever we can to reduce the stress - it is difficult living over an hour away, and trying to manage 2 properties - grass is mental so just seem to mow and slash everyday Build thread http://tinyurl.com/llgc7yk Re: Acerage 1st time Building S Highlands *owner build/kit?* 194Feb 18, 2015 8:50 pm AKB Congratulations Bb7 that is wonderful news Thanks so much AKB Build thread http://tinyurl.com/llgc7yk Re: Acerage 1st time Building S Highlands *owner build/kit?* 195Feb 18, 2015 8:54 pm Treeseachanger First Baby!!

Re: Acerage 1st time Building S Highlands *owner build/kit?* 199Mar 14, 2015 2:53 pm Still on the family property!
