Building our new home :)

Follow the progress of our new home being built here. Will hopefully update insanely and with every minute detail as we go.

The story so far:

After the arrival of Maggie in June, we realised we just couldn't squish into this house much longer, we had well and truly outgrown our first teeny tiny home! We debated between buying established or building new, and soon discovered it was much more economical to build from scratch than buy an established house in our area.

We finally found a block of land we loved and put a holding deposit down on July 29, pending finance. Finance all approved and full deposit paid by mid-August.



Since then have just been working on finding the best house for the money we could squeeze out of the bank. We finally settled on the 'Millbank 2300' with Simonds with a few changes (added a wall across DINING area to make it into BEDROOM 4, put doors on STUDY, deleted window in FAMILY W8, and added extra sliding door in FAMILY in lieu of double window).



We have booked a site starting date of November 2009, with house to be completed by April 2010. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and we will be in our new home before next winter!!


Cheers
