Surprise #1 a variation of $5,000 allowance for rock/shale - the only 'rock' i've ever found is sandstone which in my limited experience isn't going to slow down a digger much. I'm going to want to see any rock they hit before I let them draw on that allowance at all. Surprise #2 - the facade on the plans is different to the one on our tender. Hmm I wonder if I don't say anything do I get the facade on the plans??? Having the benefit of all the experience of the fine people here I'm now going to check all the measurements on the plans; the wide-eyed first time builder in me expects a professional builder to all be correct with the plans, the cynical 'no-one cares as much about your build as you' realist in me is going to have to nut through all of the drawings to work out what's going on. I'm reading all your posts on your progress with a mixture of excitement and fear! The journey continues...
