And so it begins...

Just so you're warned... yes, this is another load of ramblings by someone excited about their home build. Yes, I may blather on about the virtues of rectified tiles, pyrolytic ovens and semi-frameless shower screens but hey.. it's pretty exciting to me so gear up I'm going to blather anyway. It'll be nice to have a record of our home building journey. It will be our first ever home of our own and we've saved pretty hard to get to the beginning so let's hope for the best!

• The block

We have a decent frontage. From the left our boundary starts at the middle of the T junction and ends just after the road before the green box on the right of the pic. The photo was taken at 6pm and the western side is looking nice and shaded by the trees on the neighbouring block. According to our builder that light pole should be smack between our block and the block on the left but it looks like we get a pole in our face, a bit of a worry when it isn't the same as the plan the builder has. They keep telling us not to worry, so.. we won't... much! As long as it doesn't block the driveway I guess. A bit annoying. Nice to see the house going up nearby. Not too much longer till they start ours so they tell us.
