Do you have your own block of land, of you buy it from the builder? Are you happy with the builder so far? Have you upgraded your inclusion list? Ozn Thanks to all for the warm welcome. We bought our block privately last year. It is situated in a new housing estate called Elmslea Estate in Bungendore NSW, which is about 40km north-east of Canberra. It is a great block running east west with true north to side and elevated to the street. We looked to buy in Canberra but were put off by the tiny block sizes and ballot system. The smallest blocks in Elmslea are around 800m2 and our block is 1620m2. We are building with Gracious Living http://www.graciousliving.com.au/ and we are extremely happy with the way things are progressing so far. The main upgrades we are getting would be the 3rd garage with rear access, extended roofline over the alfresco, stone benchtops in kitchen and laundry. We are supplying a few items ourselves that we weren't real happy with on the inclusions list like toilets and shaving cabinets. We will be out at the site tomorrow to get more pic's...the windows should be in this week.
