A fence and a tap!
We have a fence, after a letter asking for us to "urgently" send approval, we negotiated a taller fence and agreed to have it done, even though we would prefer not to have the fence up for the start of our construction, we didnt want to disadvantage our new neighbours. The fence has been up nearly 2 weeks and their back fence and other side still aren't done, so I guess there really was an urgency lol

We also more recently have a tap! We have water, it's starting!!!!! YAY!!!!
We also got our final council approved plans and have sent them back.

Bricks & tiles
We went past an Austral display and decided to go have a look at a big version of our bricks and roof tiles on the weekend, I think they will look great
The tiles are the charcoal shingle style ones, I love them!
The red tile is about the colour of the redwood paint on the verandah piers so I think the colours will look great together

Finance is done!
We got our final finance approval so we can relax abit now! (not that there was any doubt but it's nice to have it on paper!)
Time to start thinking about selling the unit, we will put it on the market once the slab is poured, so maybe 6-8 weeks away, scary stuff!

Contracts done!
Well we signed the contracts, and now they say about a month worth of work and they will start.
The developers approval is done so just got to get the council stuff done. Have paid our first deposit.
Have sent the contract in to the bank and should hear by the end of next week for final approval, after valuation. It's all happening now!
Still haven't heard back from the fence people
