Hello !
I've been a long time stalker...lurking for far too many hours in the "things you forget" thread over the past 6 months while we have been preparing to build our home. I swear the CSO thought I was secretly a builder with some of the impressive questions I asked thanks to that thread !!! We have large stacker doors in 2 of the living areas and I wanted to make doubly sure the tracks were recessed, so I asked in person, then in email, then sent the plans back and asked the recess to be noted on them...wouldn't even have occurred to me to ASK without this site !
We are building an Eden 31 with Rawsons, we haven't changed the basic layout except to add a deck as our block slopes like Mt Kosciusko (very slight exaggeration there).
Last Friday the surveyors were on site and we knew there'd be some action this week, well yesterday arvo I drove past to find excavators going flat out cutting out the foundation. So I guess we've definitely started ! A little bit disappointed with the lack of communication, the only reason we knew anything was happening at all was me ringing CSO several times last week for an update. Don't worry, I'm emailing today to express my thoughts !! (Our CSO is brilliant but I'm sure she secretly hates me already!).
The clock is ticking for us as I am due to have our second baby in October, in around about 28 weeks, and we have a 25 week build time in our contract... so our BEST case scenario is moving when I'm 9 months pregnant ! I don't even want to think about worst case scenario please !
Anyway I'm very excited to finally be in a position to have some progress to report and start a thread I've been lazily blogging at [url]housesweethome.blogspot.com[/url] where you can see exciting pictures of block, tiles, carpets, etc - and the most exciting picture of all - the diggers working yesterday !
Look forward to sharing the journey with this great community.
