Hi Lia, that's interesting... we're also with ANZ and they did complete a valuation our block. Their valuation was 116k short of the purchase price.

That's a long, long drive Pedro, at least you're going against traffic for some of the trip. King Georges Rd is a nightmare going the other way - hubby…

Oh Pedro, you're a brave man I just couldn't do it... I'm a Liverpool supporter. How does living with the in laws suit your work commute? …

Oh I'm so glad to have found this thread. After almost going ahead with another builder we've decided to do this and I must say we're pretty excited about…

Hi Pedro, Just wanted to drop a line and say how lovely your blog is and that your plans are fabulous. How exciting!

Very exciting SC1225! We're at a similar stage ourselves, organising our current home for sale and agreeing on a building design.

Wholeheartedly agree Doozie. Good investigation is required to find the right school, Naplan results are only a part of it. Our son's school is one of the…

Beautiful photo Stonecutter1309. I must remember to cost up under floor bathroom heating!

You are organised Pedro. We are going with the Nova Terrace facade, Manhattan 42 (with extended rumpus). I'm glad you've heard good things about Acton airconditioners, I have…

Thanks for that.... abbreviations that I can't work out drive me loopy:-)
Yep we've settled on the Manhattan, it was a tough choice between Eden Brae & Wisdom. We've…

Enjoying reading this thread. Learning lots as always! But could someone please let me know where/what GF is...

Looking great guys! Nice to see clear blue sky as well.

The time will come Stonecutter1309;-) I've heard rumours that even the systemic catholic schools require a small percentage of non catholics enrolled, it's related to government funding apparently.

Hi Deletedpenguin, you're house is looking good. I'm particularly impressed by the speed in which the frame went up. Will definitely say hi next time we're there.

Hi Stonecutter1309, yes that would be us. We're finding ourselves there a lot. If you see us out there we'd love to say hi in person. …

Hi SCR_wannabe, we are in a similar position to you, we've just finished our 'pro's and con's' table and decided to go ahead at Stonecutters. We're at the very…
