Plot topped off, surveyed and pavements in

Just nipped up to the plot on our way to the Swan Valley for some dinner and everything is feeling a lot more finished all of a sudden.

The plot has been pegged out and topped off to say that its complete apart from some minor grouting which needs to be done on the retaining walls its all ready now.  All the surrounding plots are done also so it cant be long now until they have completely finished our road.

The land surveyors were up yesterday so final plans can be finished now and sent to shire for approval although we are still waiting for the costings from the builder for the prestart items which is quite annoying as we should have had them last week...

Apologies for the crappy photo quality only had my iPhone on me

Prestart done and land mortgage signed

After our 4 hour prestart meeting yesterday we have put in all our requests to the builder and have to wait about a week now to get the new costings back, expecting quite a lot of extra money for everything we want but hoping our expected budget is about right so we dont have to compromise too much...

Also went to the bank to sign the mortgage for the land if everything goes well we should have the land completed by Monday.
