We still found a couple of things missing on the contract. We'll meet with consultant tomorrow and loan manager next week. We've done our sums and all looks ok. We did find a small retaining wall and concrete plinth on our siteplan that we didn't know about and had been overlooked so we might have to arrange that before construction. I'm just waiting for the day we're at your stage and the worst is behind us. Hope you have a good sleep and a great time sorting out the extras over the weekend. You're on the home stretch now.

I just worked out the the house is called the houghton, rather than you building in the township of houghton (and hence my comments about Inglewood, the next town along the road ) It wont be long now, and so much quicker then I have been able to manage.

Soon, very soon. That's one good thing about Rossdale, they tend to pull in the build at the very last minute and you get to move in earlier. But on paper they are a pain...plenty of buffer on hand over date, but I suppose that saves the customers from disappointment if they were over optimistic on the time. We got our house a good 2 months earlier than what was on paper. Supposed to be end June but got it end April. End Feb 09-Deposit and paperwork Nov 09-Slab!

It's great to see the photos from start to finish. I love your kitchen colour and doors. I always wanted routered doors but alas, no dollars for them this time either But I'm getting my wall niche in the entrance (with down light). (even though hubby isn't overly thrilled with it. I figure we have a smaller house and I want something to make the entrance a bit special. I've been niche shopping and have found some ideas of what I want to put in it. Can you see I'm starting to enter in the fun now that it's getting closer?
