Tender

I swear i just aged another year in about 1 minute today!

Ah heck, we have more slope than we had anticipated, 3 metres over the house.  But they have made a really good go of the layout of the house and we really like what they have done. 4 steps in the middle and enough room underneath to put 2 more rooms down the road; a games room and shed for now and probably a bedroom later on if needed ;)

Of course with all those extra bricks comes the extra price... not exactly what we had bargained on, but we really like the end product and we are willing to put those luxuries on hold like landscaping for a little while!  (we are just going to have to simplify :)

We are happy with the prices of the extra power points and light points! And they have been willing to let us finish the ensuite ourselves with our lovely stone basins!!

We are looking at finishing around May 2012... 10 months from walking through the door.  Not what we had planned, but what can we do right?  Asking around most builders guarantee around 9-10 months as a large builder from first meeting to handover so considering our start we are not doing too badly!
