@GEOnTREY - Fantastic news that they've made a start for you guys! I hope by the time you're reading this, the frame (inc trusses!) is all done! :)

Yes we do want a front fence. Ok with developer but might be a different story getting approval from City of greater Geelong.
We will have exposed aggregate driveway.
