Hi All,
Some of you may know me through your threads that I have been lurking around on, but I am not actually builidng a new house but my son and his fiance are building their very first home. I am just as excited for them though as if it was my own house. Scott and Kelly are a young couple in their early 20's, who have been together for 4 years, both live at home still and have recently got engaged. They thought now would be as good as time as any to get their foot in the door to owning their own home.
So I will try and update as much as I can with their build but it can be a bit of an effort to get the photos etc from them.
So far it has taken 7 months from signing their contracts to today. It seems to have been a very long process and I have been more stressed than they have, but maybe I am not a patient as them hehe.
They are building the Kingsborough at Munno Para West in a new estate. The block is 12.5m wide x 33m long, so not too big for them and not too small either. Where they are building happens to be in the middle of both sets of parents houses, so it nice and close for visits.
The last week has been very exciting for them as they had their start date confirmed and were released to construction. Kelly drove past the block on Tuesday and saw some pegs had been laid, Scott drove past Wednesday to find the portaloo and block had been levelled, then went past yesterday and found trenches had been done!!!!!!!
They are so excited, and so am I for them, to finally see some progress after 7 months.
I will try and get their selections as well to share to everyone can see what they have chosen and post some photos tonight.
Cheers
Jo
