Electricity and Water

24 August 2010 - The developers of the estate have planted a tree in our nature stripe today. It's a little Gum Tree.

25 August 2010 - We have been pegged out and by the looks of things the builder has kindly built us a swimming pool where are garage was going to be.

26 August 2010 - We have pipes along with a big mushy mess!

27 August 2010 - We have electricity and even more mush! The pole with the red top and wires sticking out is the electricity. There will be a meter box attached to this soon.
Who's idea was this to build during our wettest winter in a decade!

Site Cut

Our site cut was done today. We also have a port-a-loo, temporary fencing and a rubbish cage.

Site Start Dates

Our building permit was issued 10th August. Site cut will be 20th August and slab poor will be 1st September. All of these dates are subject to the weather and anyone living in Melbourne will know we have had nothing but rain lately and the long term weather forecast is suggesting more of the same. Of course this rain is great for the 10 year drought we have had, but, not so great when your trying to build a house you have been longing for!

Our Tap

Our build has begun. Well almost, we have a garden tap. It's this the nicest garden tap you have ever seen?

Paperwork Compeleted

I have finally been allocated a site start date Wednesday 11th August. The building permit was applied for today and should be issued by the end of the week. I'll have more photo's to share in the coming weeks as the building begins.
