Jarrod is Our Builder

I have put up our first photo of the block, I had a call from Jarrod who is going to build our House, we talked through the Marker situation and hopefully have that resolved. Jarrod has our house on his agenda to complete, he wasn't able to give me a start date but with all the action that we have had in the last couple of days I would say that next week may see some dirt starting to move. So hopefully the next photo will see some action. The next edition I will try and add Video.

Street coming together

The 2 pink stakes in the ground represent our driveway off Castlemaine drv, temporary fences have been put up on either side of the driveway.

Same as below only on the left hand side of the street

This Photo is from Eynesbury Rd looking down Castlemaine drv right hand side

While there checking site markers we took some photo's of the street, there would now be 10 housing being built. In Feb there was none now they are popping up everyday.

Site Markers

Now with the stake I hammered in. You can see our built side fence on the Golf course side.

Site marker is the sqaure peg and the spray painted line heading towards the marker.(this was all there I didn't spray the line)LOL

Call from Chantze about missing site markers on our block that we needed to get rectified before any work can start on our block. They offered to get the markers surveyed at a cost of $1099.00. I said, not a chance in hell are we going to pay to get these markers found. We went to the block today and found the Markers pretty quickly, our neighbours temporary fence had covered the markers so I took my hammer with me and put the stakes back in place. took photo's just in case they were required, i will attach some of the photo's.

Mad Paperwork Dash

We had a phone call from Chantze (Metricon), she is our new consultant (we have had Max, Sylvia now Chantze). About some papers that needed signing, She emailed them through, I forwarded them to work, printed, signed then sent. Got a phone call from Chantze, she had not received my letter yet and asked if we could get them to her ASAP (this was at 4.05pm) she needed them by 5pm. I had just finished swimming at norlane pool when the call come through (picture this, speedo's,men's change room, talking on phone). dressed, in car calling Mel, to email Janine (world's best sister in Law) documents so that I could meet her at work,sign documents then to email back. Lets just say pressure on. Janine was a star and had documents ready when I got in the carpark of her work, signed them, then Janine emailed them back to Chantze by 4.45pm. Legends.

IT'S all happening

This photo shows all the work happening around our block, we know have both of our neighbours building, we only have 2 neighbours now whoo hoo. the house on the right is greybox and behind us is Metricon.

Bank to the PARTY!

We finally got news from our bank about our loan and valuation, we can look at it in many ways but the end result is we can start, back to the valuation part, not what we wanted, we wanted the block revalued at a more realistic price but unfortunately they did not change the value I believe to stand by there valuer rather then opening up a can of worms knowing that there are other values that we know about that were way off the mark.
It took 3 weeks to get our loan approaval through, so we sent our letter straight through to Metricon. Now comes the time to build (we hope)
