There was Movement at the Station...

...for the word had passed around!


A drive by the block this morning has left us with massive grins! The siteworks have started, and boy have they made light work of it! I am honestly surprised at the progress they have made. I drove past yesterday afternoon around 4pm, and they had made a start but you could barely tell, apart from the sight of an excavator sitting in the middle of the bush with no visible sign of the track he'd used to actually get in there! Today they are probably 65% through, and it was only 10.30am!

Taken from the side of the block, roughly half way along the long side. The big tree between the two machines is inside where our Garage will be.


I always knew an acre was big, but with the thick scrub and trees, it was very deceiving as to just how big it was. Oh my, it is HUGE!!! I am so excited (and a little daunted thinking about the landscaping of it). 


We also paid a visit today, to the air-conditioning supply company who the builder uses. We are  ecstatic with what we are getting! Up until now, all we knew was that it was reverse cycle and that we got a bargain. Today we went to co-ordinate diffuser outlet locations with them to ensure that we wouldn't have to move them to suit our future light fitting placements. 

Turns out we get a fancy touch pad system, and the touchpad is white and silver which matches my kitchen perfectly (score!). The main living/kitchen area is "common" but each other room in the house becomes its own zone, so we can have all or only one room running at a time. I was expecting 3 or 4 zones, and having something like all back bedrooms linked, and maybe the master and theatre in a separate zone. Having them all programmed as a separate zone is fantastic! Very happy campers, so far! 


Stay tuned - hopefully this time next week I will have some slab pictures to share with you!
