The extensions to the garage and the theater added about 34K to the cost of the home but will add more than that in value (when was the last time you managed to get two cars into a 'double garage'. Has become a bit of a joke! We also added 4.8 metre wide bifold doors to the rear of the home which will open out to a decked entertaining area and 13.5 metre lap pool. That will just about take care of the back yard but that's all we need. There will be a small front yard for the cubby house and we have a nice oval just a 100 metres away at the end of the street for the young one to play and for us to walk our staffie Jasper. Onc, yes the shops at Hornsby are awesome. Westfield is a great shopping centre with great shops and yes, the food court and produce is awesome for the area. Glad that you enjoyed your stay! Cheers all.

I am sure this time you will be able to do all you wanted and more...and in the end your mortgage wont be as big hopefully, so you can go on a cruise around the world to recover from building!!! the pool and bi folds...YUM lets hope you can start soon.

Re: Building our new home in Hornsby 178Oct 19, 2010 5:12 pm Hi Kiwi, Westminster will be using a private certifier rather than go through Council channels. We are going with complying development which means if Westminster get all of the required info to the Certifier and it's in order, then it should be approved within 10 calendar days. I would expect, with all of the detail required for CD applications it should take a few weeks. Fingers crossed. Will keep you posted. How are things going with your place. Another tremor over your way I believe?
