Isn't it funny how at the start of this process site costs and added upgrades were so expensive but you soon learn to get what you want you need to spend the $$ unfortunately.
Enjoy your celebrations xx
Yes the budget/expectations have seen a few revisions upwards . Fortunately we have had more time to save with the land delay, not long enough to cover that jump but we had been pretty cautious with what we spent early on and mentally allowed for it to go up.
I was too conservative with some things though, I wish I'd gone handless for the bathroom cupboards, another couple of hundred seemed too much amongst the all the upgrades, now it seems silly that I ever worried about it. We probably should have put a fan in the alfresco too, I was worried we would never use it, but with our low roof it will be hard to in the future. Oh well, must stop thinking about these things.
