Our plans!!!!!

Just to fill you in the front of our house is facing the reserve where the road hasnt been built yet!!!!!
So thats why the garage doors are at the back of the house in front off the battleaxe
entry. If you know what Im trying say LOL A bit confusing...

Thought Id better add some pics...OUR BLOCK!!!

The 1st pic from front corner looking over to the otherside..
2nd one is looking at the back fence n DH trimming the trees...
3rd one is from the bottom of the drive way looking to the front n the reserve....
4th one is our to-be main drive way...Our block of land is 1198sqm (Sort of a battle-axe)What is meant by sort of???
Well we have 2 road accesses although the road out the front near the reserve hasn't been built yet and not sure whether it will ever be done, We don't mind at all no cars driving past the front nice and quiet except when we eventually get a train go past...LOL

Yes we are near the train line which there is hardly any that use this line...

Time to start....

We have decided to start a blog to share our building experience with all of our friends and family who wish to take this journey with us. We started on this wonderful, but incredibly stressful at times, road in late 2008
We are new to all this so please bear with us...
Land Purchased: 08/08
Pre Approval from bank: 07/10/08
Finally found "D" house:06/09
Tender signed:07/09
Contracts signed -09/09
File gone to permits department to prepare for Council lodgement:26/10/09
House plan:Willowbrook 290 AVJ

I have always said to my DH I would never build... LOL
And now look at us, Yes We are building... I gave in...ARGH!!!!

We brought our land just over 12 months ago.
in the Wollondilly area NSW, Tahmoor WOOHOO no traffic or traffic lights...
It took us 12 months to find the right house plan for the family so here we go lets get the ball rolling.

I must also add that my darling brother is a Draftsman and offered to design our house to what we wanted,But I am one of those people that "CANNOT VISUALISE" things which will make our journey very hard and frustrating my poor DH....
