Well, the deal is done, we officially signed our lives away this evening on the contracts, specs, plans of The Jamieson. Very scary, but quietly pleased that our new stage in life is to begin in about 7 months.
Apart from a couple of last minute variations (i.e. off white mortar at $1400, but they conceded on the bulkhead in the entry) all went smoothly. James couldn't believe how organised we were with every bit of paper they requested handed over to him. He said we were the most organised people he had dealt with this year, and in fact we will jump the queue as about 4 other clients are still yet to supply their paperwork intact.
He disappears into the background now - but assures us that if we have any queries, he is still there to help, which is good.
Now the builder will apply for a permit (currently 14 days approx.) then must be on site within 21 days of receiving the permit, so I am guessing David may get a birthday present (30th March) with a site scrape. We are off to Coonawarra that weekend to celebrate, so I may have to get my trusty neighbours to take photos if anything happens from Friday - Sunday!!
After such a long wait, we can say we are starting to build next month!!! Yippee!!!
