It's all a go!

Well here we are February 2012, what a road it has been to get here!

After weeks of chasing quotes on driveways, fences, landscaping, stat. decs etc, our home loan application has finally been APPROVED!

Now it is all happening! Permits are being applied for, levies are being paid and money is flying out in all directions (mostly to the builder gladly!)

We were very unhappy to find out the builder expected us to cover the bond on the asset protection while they were building (a council footpath insurance) - but I am extremely happy to say the builder has agreed to put up the bond while I only pay the actual permit (no-refundable) charge.  Another potential stress avoided! Imagine trying to recover costs if they do damage to council property!

I will get pictures up as soon as we break soil...although with the house 1.25 hours away it may not be as regularly as I would like :)

Hanging out for the start date!
