We are onto our third as well.. Love the lounge light. Any progress is progress i guess. Thanks gr8ly. Yes, in the big scheme of things we know it's all going to get there eventually but we are just tired of living in our rental and impatient with the process. I think husband and I are as bad as each other re trying to be patient.

Finally made it to the Easter break and have a little time to update re our build. After a number of weeks post-Christmas where not much occurred, under the new SS there has been a great deal of progress. We are now technically at 'practical completion' although there's still a few things to do before . . . [insert drum roll] hand over! There's been a few glitches in the last week, rain notwithstanding, including kitchen benches that needed adjustments to ensure correct placement for our stove top under the rangehood and downpipes that need final connection to avoid more pools of water around the site. Also still to do: * install air cons * install security screens and doors * driveway and bits of external concreting. According to our schedule all of this and site clean should happen in the next week - approximately. But we'll believe that when we see it! However we understand that the Easter long weekend has impacted upon some of this, so we are attempting to stay positive, although when trying to coordinate a move from one property to another while not having a definite date for handover - it is rather fraught with loads of frustration and an occasional 'gets on my last nerve' tendency to get snippy between us all, husband and two adult children included! But we can finally see light at the end of the 18 month process of selling our family home, deciding to build, having a failed negotiation with one builder through multiple designs to settle on another builder, again working through a number of designs - to now seeing it all starting to come together! And of course the gazillion decisions that needed to be made between then and now! We are actually starting to get excited which is a luxury we haven't allowed ourselves for a while! I've attached a few update pics but will throw up a few more once the rubbish pit that is our front yard has been cleared away. Hope the Easter break has been suitably relaxing and rejuvenating for you all and that the keyword for all your build processes whatever stage you are at is SMOOTH!

You must be so relieved the end is in sight. Building a house is such an emotional and financial toll. Your remaining bits and pieces won't take long at all. So excited for you Re: Brisbane Build with Dixon 60Apr 02, 2018 4:43 pm gr8ly wow! it's all happened really quickly for you joggles - love your staircase and lights, and that view is amazinggg!

It certainly is a draining process all around. We said after our first build we would never do it again. But here we are! As a teacher, I'm on school holidays now but we're not likely to be able to move until we have just started the new term. So I will be back at work and husband and children will need to coordinate . . . hang on that doesn't actually sound like a bad plan. I think the reality will be afternoons and evenings of Mum coordination of the family troops!
