First look at our block by Metricon

This morning the new Sales Agent arrived at 7am as promised to see if we could build. Whilst he didn't fill us with confidence, he felt that it could be possible to do within budget. He hammered in a site marker for the surveyor to come (within 3 days) and then drove back to his office. Once he arrived at work he phoned, took credit card details from us and that's it, $1500 deposit, the wheels are finally turning!

The house plan we have gone for is fairly stock-standard with only a few minor tweaks. The major inclusion is the Colonial facade which adds $50k straight up - it does add a 'window seat' to the master bedroom, something my wife has always wanted in her 'dream' home.

Already there is a TO DO List!
1/ Clear the regrowth from where the slab will go.
2/ Council approval to live in current house whilst new house is built.
3/ Search for the lot plan of this block.
4/ Get finance approved.

It's a start, we're excited - well, I am, I think my wife is more anxious than excited at this stage!
