Some plans and site plans

Here are some plans and a site plan...only the basic detail ones given to council, not the full construction plans.

Block cleared today

The building area of the block has been cleared today. Was done by Newcastle Earth Moving newcastleearthmoving.com for $1500. I think a vey good price. included stump removal and all. Not the clearest photos as I only had the mobile phone camera.

Photos of Block

Here are some pics of the block prior to being cleared. It slopes down to the front of the block and a bit from right to left. heaps of trees and undergrowth to b cleared. Will be nice to have trees around once the house is built tho.

Contracts Signed

Today we have been to Montgomery Homes office and signed the tender and contracts. The fire protection level went down from level 3 that we had in the tender to level 1 after review by council and the rural fire service so that has taken $3000 off the tender price.

The block should be cleared some time this week as well.....then we just wait for the excavations and building to start.
