I've been playing around with the Chief Architect products and they are very good for helping you visualize and plan your space, but I haven't tried to create a movie out of it yet. I used MyVirtualHome to create the video, if your fluent in Chief Architect you will have no problems using VirtualHome, Just ensure you have a powerful video card otherwise it can be a bit slow rendering when moving through the building etc. I know what you mean by weather delays, it was just my luck to have the wettest winter in 10 years in Melbourne during construction, it took forever to get to lock up thanks to the rain. How you finding managing the build from Seattle ? I suppose you collaborate with Gary via email most of the time ?

We nearly bought land in Springthorpe but ended up at University Hill. Springthorpe's a gorgeous estate though. Best of luck with the build.

I hear you have fibre broadband internet at University Hill ? I am struggling to get ADSL 1 in Springthorpe. Re: New House - Springthorpe Estate Macleod - Custom Home 17May 19, 2011 12:46 am We decided against it because of the restrictions on the builders you can use - we had fallen in love with a house already but wouldn't have been able to build it - plus the fall on the available lots was a little too much to build anything similar. Yes the fibre is a big bonus as i work from home. Already dreaming about it! I heard the ADSL was all full in Springthorpe, so you might be best with mobile broadband? Re: New House - Springthorpe Estate Macleod - Custom Home 18May 19, 2011 2:52 pm Sounds amazing - you must be desperate to move in! I know your street, gorgeous area. When we were looking it was a couple of blocks on Sugarloaf and Lookout (I think it was called something like that) that were serious slopes. We're building with Burbank, at lock up now so a few months to go for us still. We find where we are currently that the wireless internet is often faster than our ADSL2+ (we have both), so apart from it being a bit pricier, it should be a good substitute until they roll fibre out in your area.

Yes I am hoping its quick enough to allow me to work from home, I don't want to trudge into the office everyday in the city if I don't have too.
