Thanks Monkeypantz. I hoped not too long with a mobile toddler in tow! We are excited for final drawings. We are still battling our bank, but have decided to adios them and move to another so depending on how long that takes, PD are ready to start. Still waiting on us :( But, strangely.... Drove pas...

Ummmm. The story sounds so strange to begin with! Why would he not deal with your wife by herself?! I'm sure in building a house, and decorating etc, many decisions are made by either one or the other spouse/partner involved and not both every time! Strange indeed! And, as a teacher, our policy is n...

We're still here. We have had a hideous time with finance, so are still trying to get all that sorted. PD are ready to go which is good, but frustrating! Aaagh! So as soon as we can get this nightmare of a bank happening, we can start immediately!

Apparently, the PD office is over run trying to deal with First Home Owners applications before the June 30 deadline. (Or so the lovely Carol tried to explain) Sounds like not enough staff, and/or not enough care for the rest of us at the moment! I just want my build to staaaaaarrtttt!

We had a phone call today; our BC has quit. New BC! We are frustrated as we have had quite a few hold ups and our start date seems to keep getting pushed back and back. It feels like this house isn't meant to be built!

Our PCVs have been slooooooowww! I haven't actually seen a document for it yet. Things keep getting "added" but I have nothing in writing yet. Should I be worried? Our BC is pretty on the ball. But I'd like to see something? Might actually chase it up Monday.

Soooooo impatient for our build to start! I feel like we are in limbo! Waiting waiting. It also means the longer the start delay, the longer I'm in this rental. Which is ok; but it's not our lovely forever home.
