Red Pegs

After doing some googling and reading other peoples blogs on building, it seems the red pegs are the beginning of the build. It marks out the boundary and it's in preparation for site scrape, cut and fill. So I'm hoping next time I visit the site it will be cleared. Probably in 3-4 days time. The weather hasn't been great though, there has been a bit of rain, so that may hold it up a bit. I will find out on the weekend.

Looks like they have put some pegs in the ground for the string line. Yaay something has started! Saw it today forgot to take any photos but here is one taken from the back, that's the Blue Mountains in the distance.

Land bought!



And land finally registered!

Just waiting this week for a letter from the bank to say they are ready to go, which needs to be forwarded to the builder. Start date still estimated early to mid June although mid seems more realistic. Found out house number will be 7, that's a good number!

And the building is about to start

We are going to keep a record of the building progress, the construction certificate was just issued, so thinking it is about 3 weeks away from the start of the build. Will update status and photos here as it progresses. So far it has been pretty smooth, although a few surprises meaning having to pay extra more than once. Moral of the story is when building a project home add another 120k to the base price at least! The location is at Gregory Hills a new estate suburb of Camden council in Sydney's south-west. The builder is Clarendon homes, we didn't make too many change to the original plan.
