As some people know - we've been waiting about 19 months for our land to look something like a building block. We have our builder & design picked out, our wishlist of upgrades and changes and are starting on landscape ideas. All we are waiting for is the gutters to be put in - apparently that is all the builder needs to do the soil test & contours as the gutter tells him where the level of the land is.
We took our mortgage broker out for a look on the weekend - and though we couldn't get on to the block itself - it appears that a gutter is now in place! (Sorry the shots are blurry - we are about 500m away and I was using my mobile phone camera)

The white circle is the approx location of our block
And here is an enlargement:

We also saw the same piece of earth moving equipment taking down small trees on the block (I wish they could leave them there!)
I will be investigating further in Thursday - perhaps the construction site manager might let me take a wander up there. Or I might just sneak up - every time we drop by the site office is open, but no-one inside!
