Having finally sorted out my Photobucket account it's time to add my build thread to the fantastic H1 forum!!
Firstly - thanks to everyone who has responded to earlier posts and provided a wealth of valuable information and opinions to date
A bit about us - I'm Emma, my OH is Steve and we have a DD who is 3. We live in Perth and this is our 1st build! We have already identified our land and builder, signed contracts and been through pre-start. Rather than putting our entire story to date into the first post, I will space it out over the next few days - small chunks make for more manageable reading I think!
Oh - and just to warn you - I love Smilies
So - In April this year we started the weekend pilgrimage to display villages - narrowed down the list of builders we liked the look of and in May, started making further enquiries with Dale Alcock Homes. Randomly, after an earlier exciting conversation with another builder we had gone out, found a plot of land and put a deposit down. Luckily, the plot was a standard shape and in a location we loved, so even though we didn't follow up on that exciting conversation, we had found a block of land we knew we would be happy with regardless. (Ignore the sign from the 'other builder' - that was already there for some reason!)

The DAH sales consultant was patient enough to cope with our ever changing list of 'wants' and sit down with us to work out what plan would be the closest to our dream home. After DH sending him a Playskool / Blue Peter version of our ideas, he decided we had to go and visit the Nautilus.

We were in love before we even got as far as the rear living space

That's probably enough for tonight so I will cover our journey to the point of contract signiture in my next post!
