Re: emotions!!!! 2May 01, 2011 2:29 pm I've been exactly the same. We settled on our land about 8 months ago a d paid deposit 7 months ago. I think the hardest part for me has been all the waiting. We got DA approval 1 month ago and are now waiting for the construction cert. I think once we start building and I can physically are progress things will be a bit easier. Just remember you are not alone Re: emotions!!!! 3May 01, 2011 2:45 pm Most stressful thing I have ever done - but I do have control issues! I find it really hard to let people do things for me because when I am not doing it myself how do I know they are doing it right!! I have a great builder and I told him I have control issues - I check on the build every day and talk to the builder either by email or phone whenever I have questions and I always feel more calm after talking to them. Anyway - I think everyone feels the same way because it is such a big expense and you put so much time into making decisions. Good luck - and hopefully you will have more than faces when you start building! Re: emotions!!!! 4May 01, 2011 2:50 pm You're not alone. Building is just so stressful. It's hard not to think about anything else sometimes. I find the whole waiting game very hard to deal with. It's frustrating to see no action when all you want to do is move in. I thought I was a patient person until I started building. At the same time, I find it very rewarding when I see progress being made and something new has happened at our building site. Makes it worthwhile.

Don't speak too soon I was mid 40s now early 50s life is sweet Re: emotions!!!! 7May 01, 2011 4:39 pm Rest assured - you are quite normal!! We have so much emotional, not to mention financial investment in our new homes it is bound to be a rollercoaster. Only today, after 14 months since we bought our block have I come to the decision that I will no longer stress the "small stuff". This past month I have been quite overwhealmed and have now decided that I will reserve my emotional hat for the positives and reserve my business hat for the hard stuff.
