After thoughts and Hiccup #2

A last minute change to my plans...... I think the round water tank will take up to much space in our not very big back yard so have decided to upgrade to slimline water tank for $1318. I just think it will look better.

Hiccup # 2 is that because we decided to tile to the ceiling in the two bathrooms, we now have to change our windows. We have to have pop out windows instead of sliding ones for some maintenance reason that I don't quite understand.

Also, because of the additional tiling we now have some additional costs that we were not expecting

Return visit by the plasterer to fit the bathroom cornices after the tiling is complete $384
Additional cleaning charge due to additional tiling                                                      $274
Awning windows                                                                                                          $624

We will also have to pay a small additional fee as the plantation shutters price for this windows will be different

Not exactly thrilled given that none of these costs were mentioned when we asked about tiling to ceiling! Knowing it was going to cost me an extra $1000 may have impacted my decsion

Hiccup #1

So I knew it was all running too smoothly..... apparently the paver we have chosen ( because it was on the list we were given ) is not allowed in my estate. SO, because we were given the wrong information, Eden Brae are ofering us an upgrade to a coloured concrete driveway at no extra charge.

Gotta be happy with that as that is what we wanted in the first place but didn't want to pay extra for it.

Happy days and thank you Eden Brae. An onyx driveway will go nicely with out monument roof

Land Registration

So, it has been a long few months waiting for our land to register, but finally the day is here! It's very exciting that we can now start the serious stuff to get this house ready to build!

We have as much paperwork completed with Eden brae as we could so we are on track to start building in February 2015!

Our lovely almost flat land!
