Our Windows and Sliding Doors have been fitted to the frame and the house bricks have been delivered ... here's hoping we'll have some walls to go with our windows soon!

After months of waiting, we are the proud owners of some concrete ...

More Progress ....

Go Eden Brae!!

We're officially into week 2 of our build, and there is more action on site ... although I'm not sure what these things are called ...

Are they the Waffle Pods??

Peirings and a Port-a-Loo ...

So we went for a quick drive by today .... didn't stay long cause it was so hot outside, but our peirings are done!

The site is all ready for the slab this week!

OMG .... Site Scrape ... Woo Hoo!!

Rich went by the block today and saw ....

Finally our house is starting!

Gary our Site Supervisor called today and said that the peirings will be done this week, then our slab is scheduled for next Wednesday ... Woo Hoo!!

Watch this space!

Site Start Appointment booked ...

Woo Hoo .... finally things are starting to happen.

We are booked in for our Site Start Appointment on Tuesday 6th October.

Council Application - Consent Granted!

Today our lovely CSO at Eden Brae emailed us to let us know that we've got our Council Approval ... Our house number is going to be 23!

Now the fun begins!!!

Settlement Day ... YAY!

At 3pm today we got the call from our Conveyancer to let us know that Settlement had taken place!

So after 5 months and 5 days after paying our holding deposit on the block, it's finally ours!

On the way home from work tonight we detoured by the block, and I only had the point and shoot with me, so the only decent piccie I got was of our tree growing out the front ...

Settlement next week ... Woo Hoo!

Our land has finally been registered, and we have a settlement date.

Settlement will take place on Thursday 27th August!

Pegs ...

This week we finally got some pegs!!

Tiles, Carpets and Electrical ......

What a long day, I'm drained ..... and broke ..... 6K on extra electrical (44 downlights to the living areas, master and front eaves, fab spot-lights out the back and sides, and more power points than we'll ever need!), and we'll know exactly how much our beautiful glass tiles are in a week or two!

The decisions I thought would be difficult were easy and the decisions I thought would be easy were hard ...

Daniel at Di Lorenzo was fab at helping us with our selections, and Tammy at Home Options was amazing guiding us through the electrical layout!

Our internal colours ...

On Wednesday 17th June, we spent a very long day in Norwest at our colour consultation ... here's our colour palette.

Bricks and Roof Tiles ...

The Plans ...

The first post ...

We've picked the block and the builder, paid the deposits and are waiting for The Dept of Lands to register our land.

It all started in early March when we first saw some Eden Brae display homes, and I fell in love!!

In late March we settled on the Saville 25 layout, and increased the size to 27 squares with Eden Brae's 'Expand your Manor' promo.

We've just recently picked our bricks and roof tiles and signed our contract with Eden Brae.

Our next appointment is at the Home Options Gallery on June 17, where we'll pick our internal colours and our kitchen ...
