I can’t believe I have not updated this website in more than six months. So much has happened since this the last update, I believe our tender revision was only up to Revision 5. Eventually the tender revisions made it to Revision 7 before we signed the contract.

It has been a long journey to get to where we are and it only feels like we’re about halfway through the entire process. What a time to be attempting to build a house especially with the current world health situation and the new strain setting all time highs in case numbers in NSW. Building a house is definately not for the faint hearted, it is stresseful but very exciting at the same time. An a huge amount of patience is required and the ability to work through roadblocks one might encounter. If ill prepared I think it has the potential to cause an enormous amount of financial strain.
