Our journey building our new casaview home

Monday, February 21, 2011

As of today

We have had word from our mortgage broker that the final construction loan is approved. That was just a formality really but it's another step. Now a valuer has to do a valuation on the expected finished product. That is happening today or tomorrow. Then we sign the final loan documents and the letter of commencement will be sent to the builder.

We sent back the signed variations discussed with builder last week. Concrete has been extended and we are getting an extra door installed at hallway near Chloe's bedroom. This will block sound when she sleeps and will give us an area for the dogs to be contained in. They can then go between the laundry, bathroom and hall. They won't set off the alarm and they won't be able to sit on my new lounge.

Michael and I went to the show home on the weekend and it's funny how things change in shape and size the more you look at them. We knew we were getting a much smaller yard, a large courtyard sized space but yesterday it just seemed a lot smaller. Well it looks fine just turfed but we want garden beds and water features and pergolas. We have to really plan this space well. There isn't the room to play with a million different plants like we did at out old place. We will only select the plants that did very well at our last home and plants that we really love and are in line with creating the environment that we want.
