Hi Everyone
I'm Anne. My husband Jason and I are about to start building a house with Met9icon. I have become very interested in Ricci & BMP' s thread about their journey so far, so I though I would introduce myself and start a new thread about our project.
We currently live in the inner northern suburbs of Brisbane. I am a stay at home mum and Jason is an electrician by trade, currently working as an electrical projects manager. We have 2 boys aged 5 and 3. Our dream has always been canal living, we just thought it was a long term dream. Jason loves his boats and fishing.
We have renovated many homes over the past 10 years plus but have never tried building. We have only been in our current house a little more than 2 years with plans to lift it and do a full reno. This was the house that I wasn't going to move from until the boys finished school. We put a pool in this time last year! If someone had told me at the beginning of the year we would be moving by years end I would have told them they were crazy But as luck would have it house values have jumped and by the time we spent 150K plus on the reno we could build a house on the canal and end up with a similar mortgage.
So we bought a block of land on Bribie Island and started looking for a builder. I look forward to telling you all about our experience to date and going forward.
I have started a thread in "building a new house" called Met9icon building - canal
