Hi all, I've been stalking the site for a few days now and decided to put in a post..
We are planning to demolish our existing home (any recommendations accepted gratefully) and build our new home in the street our kids know and play.
I am excited and scared sh*tless @ the same time. Im trying to get all the finance organised as we need to refinance before we demolish. we have a property assesment this thursday so fingers crossed the land value goes through fine. we have put a deposit on the plans with alterations we like and have our pre start booklet.. my head is spinning with choices. The only things i have decided on is the flooring, feature tile for our heavenly ensuite & our very very optional swimming pool..
We are building in Maddington SE of perth. (now biulding in Southern River's Riverbank estate)
Happy to hear from every body and share in your pleasures & experiance good or bad while you build or renovate( I'm way to whimmpy for that ) your home.
