Starting from the beginning again!!!

We got our Consolidated Tender back and were very happy as there was a few thousand $$$ taken off for the site costs,but when we worked out how they were digging out our block we weren't very happy with it. We held off signing our Tender and went looking at other blocks and there was a nice big (huge) 1/2 acre corner block that was flat, that wouldn't need retaining walls anywhere!!! We spoke to the developer and MJH and everyone agreed we could do a swap, so that's what we did. We started the whole process again with MJH Oran Park(he is the best). We went back to the original floor plan of the Monaco 1 and have added a double garage up the back of the land as we have 2 driveways, this will be a "Workshop" for my husband. It will go straight to CT and we can have our colours appointment at the end of this month as previously booked so we should stay on track time wise.... We are extremely excited now, we will be able to have chickens and the developer said we can even have 1 goat, I don't think that will happen.

Bricks Arrrggghhhh

We have been to pick our bricks and didn't really like the range from Austral except for an upgrade Gertrudis Brown. We went and looked at PGH Bricks and really liked a few of them, although they are all upgrades as well. I haven't got a picture of the Gertrudis Brown but that's what we are going with after getting a price from McDonald Jones for the upgrade its not too expensive.

Deposit Variation & Pre colour Appointment

We accepted our 3rd Deposit Variation and are waiting to get back our consolidated tender.

We have had our pre colour appointment which was great, a little overwhelming walking in and all you see are colour charts on every wall. Our consultant was great, she went through our folder and gave us a little tour. We have been busy every weekend going to the display home to check this and that. We have been out looking at flooring options, i think we will go with 600x600 porcelain tiles and last weekend we went to look at bricks!!! Aaahhh how scary - we have picked 2 from the selection ranges and 1 we will need to get a quote on "Getrudis Brown".

Our 1074m2 Block

8/10/2012 - Our corner block in Bingara Gorge, Wilton. We are building the Monaco from McDonald Jones.

A little bit about us: There are 4 of us myself, my husband and our 2 teenage children soon to be 17 and 14. We have lived in our current house for 13 years and have finally found the courage to move.
