Update, going slow.....

Well things are going along at snails pace ATM, very frustrating!!! We had another appointment with our drafty a couple of weeks ago with what we want and we are STILL yet to hear or get anything back from her, she is so b!oody slow.

But once we get plans back from her we will be able to get a more realistic idea on price as we will have finalised most materials, so that would be good (although scary too).

On a pain in the bum note, someone has been dumping fill on our block so I'm keeping a close eye on it in case I have to put a sign up

Well we had a meeting with our builder last night, very productive. Looked over prelim plans and discussed materials, so many to choose from but we pretty much need to decide cause it will effect how the plans are drawn. Spoke to our draftsman this morning, we'll be having a meetup next week to hopefully finalise plans.

We have had a heap of fill put on the block but they are yet to level it out

At the Beginning...

Ok well I guess I'll start at the beginning, our patch of dirt!! We purchased our block in Oct 2005, it's a fantastic size 1398sqm in Lighthouse Dr, Boyne Island. We're about 200m from the water and you can just see the water from a standing point on the block, so we should get a nice view from 2nd level of the house.

We have been chopping and changing and researching the house for quite a few years now, but we've pretty much finalised the house plans. We are wanting something that reminds us of a balinese style resort living.

Will have to upload some pics of the block now that it is cleared, previously a few treas ect on there but had it cleaned up at christmas.
