Where is 'here'?
- Almost 3 years after purchasing a sloping block of land in Lucilla Ridge Macquarie Hills.
- Approximately 2 years of researching, designing, re-designing the floor plan of our house with numerous builders including Hotondo Homes, Huxley Homes, Montgomery Homes and Tullipan Homes.
- 7 months since we received a tender from Tullipan Homes for a custom design home.
- 2 months after receiving Council approval of our development application.
and...
A day after signing contracts with Tullipan Homes.
A feeling of relief, happiness, joy and a whole lot of anxiousness has come over us... however mainly excitement!
In March 2011 we bought a block of land in Lucilla Ridge Macquarie Hills after my Mum & Dad had purchased a block for themselves. Who wouldn't want to live two doors away from their parents/in-laws? Well, we would :D
I've decided to create a blog mainly to document the process of our build and record significant dates. I am completely new to blogging, but thought this would be an ideal place to start. While this has been a long process for us, it was always our goal to save as much as we could to commence building at the beginning of 2014 in order to be settled into our new house before Ashton starts school. Having bought the block when Ashton was about 18 months old and pregnant with Ryan, it's hard to believe that construction will be starting very soon.

We are thrilled with the custom home design that we have created over the years to fit in with our family's needs. We have 'future-proofed' our house not with NBN requirements but
with an extra bedroom if a baby #3 were to arrive* as well as downstairs being reserved primarily for the children as their 'haven' something they'll appreciate even more when they're older (as will we)!

The 'selections' process is now complete (and if I can work out how to upload pictures, I will!) and we're very pleased with our choice of colours throughout the home.... fingers crossed it all comes together!
