Quick update

Just a quick update to advise that we now have our approval from The Ponds (received on the 07/07/2010). Our new brick choices were acceptable to their guidelines (which is great as we much prefer our new bricks).

Our plans have now gone to Council for approval - this will take anywhere from 4-6-8 weeks. The waterboard will also complete a sewer pegout during this time.

We have received the rest of the quotes we were waiting on - and just need to finalise and sign the post contract variations. After all of this is done, we can finally put away all of the copious amounts of paperwork and await the approval of our plans by Council.

According to the "unregistered land" link - our land is now due to be registered on 30/07/2010. This could change - however, to date, the delay in registration has had no impact on our progress.

Keep you posted with updates in due course :-)

An update about nothing...

Well as the heading suggests, we have a whole lot of nothing going on at the moment. Well, that's how it feels...

Ok - so we have now chosen our new brick colours and added extra planting to our landscape design (rear yard) as requested by The Ponds Review Panel - so hopefully now we will get their approval as soon as possible (as our original assessment was rejected).

We have been for our electrical, staircase and flooring appointments too - so that's all of our appointments out of the way.

Besides that we're just awaiting on a lot of quote/s from suppliers - of which some we've had to chase up on numerous occasions. These quotes are not paramount to our file moving forward - however, we'd like to have them all finalised anyway. Some things are just dragging on for too long! We're remaining patient and staying positive - hopefully this week we can finalise some of the quotes and post contract variations :-)

Re: Land registration: it's now listed at the 16th July...Here's hoping.

During this period of inactivity, we have been able to focus on our wedding plans, which is very exciting :-)

Will post again soon when we have more to report. We will be heading out to The Ponds again within the next month :-)
