I love your house photos and floor plan. I have also just built with Hickinbotham with an incredibily similar floor plan and had hand over last week, but we have so much to do stilll! I was quite suprised with the esky gift basket provided when i got the keys! Now comes the exciting part when it can all start to feel more real and more yours!
