Sold!

Not much going on so I thought I would take a trip down to the block to have a look. Well they have finally put the sold sign up! (The red lines show the borders of our block...roughly)

Took them long enough. While I was on site I noticed that they had repegged the boundary on the lefthand side. It's a bit different to what I expected as their (cascades) proposal showed a block of the same size next to ours. Instead we will have three blocks backing onto our left hand side. I like it better that way as we are further away from the houses and it's our dead side anyway. Please see my awesome diagram below for a better idea :)

We have also started thinking about some things that we need to put in before we sign the contract. What we want are all of the benches (kitchen, ensuite, laundry, bathroom) to be about 50mm higher. This will cost us about $500.

Then we want recess's in each shower to hold the saop etc. This will be about $400.

Lastly we have had several people tell us that we should get 450mm eaves instead of the "no eaves" option that most houses come with these days. If we go ahead with that it will cost an extra $4,000.

Lots to think about but probably better to do it all now rather than later, especially the eaves...
