15.05.12 Now with the Planning Department

       The Bronte Blog has had a little renovation and a slight name change. We are thinking the house name plate (included with the house) will be 'Notre Maison'. Quite simply - 'Our House'.

        So... this past week we have accepted the 'Consolidated Tender' (agreed inclusions, building costs, variations etc) with McDonald Jones.

Of course there were more costs... upgrade to a H1 slab is required due to soil test report indicating lots of clay, which means an additional $6k. ka-ching! ka-ching! Here we go.......................

Now we are waiting for the 'Planning Department' to get back to us with the finalised drawing of our floor plan and electrical plan... hope to hear from them in 2 or 3 weeks to see and sign off.

In the mean time we are still waiting for an appointment to go to 'Colour Studio' and choose our colours, fittings and fixtures. We are guesstimating it will be 1st June!

        I am guessing once all this is done and we get through 10 weeks of waiting for Council approval, we might start preparing to build by late August, early September. Add 26 weeks + 3 weeks Christmas break... that's an estimated mid to late March for completion... so add another  4 weeks just because and we might actually be in by Mid April!

        A long way off but still very excited.
