Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A block in Mernda! I've paid the holding deposit and need to check the contracts and then go back next week with the rest of the deposit and sign the contracts! I got sooooooo nervous when it came time to actually say yes and do it and then put the money down! OMG I HAVE LAND!! This is the biggest most important thing I think I have ever done financially and lifestyle wise and I'm doing it all alone which also adds some stress. Of course it is all subject to finance, so I can pull out any time I want to if I start to panick. Once it's all signed and everything I will start a blog for it all OMG I HAVE LAND! -breathes deeply- 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

My wife felt exactly the same as you and she isn't doing the home ownership thing on her own!! But it was the best decision we ever made...Don't panic...it just gets better once you actually own a home on that land Look forward to seeing your blog http://www.rentfreeatlast.blogspot.com/ Building in Berwick ----------------------------------------------------------- "Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams Re: I have land! 7Feb 01, 2009 5:24 pm yaaayyyyayyyy LISANNE!!!

I'm glad it's not just me Black Rain!! The land settles this month, but I am pushing it out to the end of March so I can save a bit more money first.

I have my block on hold and am signing contracts this week. And I'm doing it alone so I know exactly how you feel. I think I am going to drive my family mental with all my "should I, shouldn't I". Hope it works out well for you.

You might like to think about starting a blog when it comes time. It's a great way to share the excitement of the build with other people who can understand your excitement. (I know you might find it hard to believe, but not everyone is excited about taps and port-a-loos ) Re: I have land! 14Feb 01, 2009 9:51 pm Congratulations Lisanne and welcome to MV I've been living in MV for about five weeks now and I love it Hope it all goes smoothly for you. Ditto what Back pocket said re the blogs Happy at Home Re: I have land! 15Feb 01, 2009 10:28 pm thanks backpocket, i hear what your saying about talking to people who are just as excited as you! my family are already sick and tired of listening to me talk about houses and driveways and bla bla bla - that's why i went looking for a forum just like this! 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: I have land! 16Feb 01, 2009 11:24 pm Congrats Lisanne...

LATEST: Frame Complete http://metricon-mercer.livejournal.com Re: I have land! 20Feb 03, 2009 8:04 am I'm starting to worry now I haven't done the right thing! I love the block and its location, but I'm just stressing that I don't have all my finances sorted and how im going to organise deposits etc for the building - ARGH! I think im just having an emotional day and it's all just getting to me.... gotta try not to worry so much, it will hopefully all work itself out! -breathe-
I spose the worst that can happen is I just delay building as I will just need a couple of more months to save, but still need to be done by June 30th for the grants. -breathes deeply- 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
