A little closer now...

We have been out to the block and we have a tap...hurrah! :) Who would have thought that something so little would get me all excited. While out at the block, we have discovered that we are not the first to start building either. :( LOL! The block next to ours already has its brick-work started, (and has a whole heap of dirt half of which is piled on our block) at least 3 other places have their slab and a couple have their taps/electricity boxes. We said "howdy" to a.... I guess I can call him a 'neighbour' that is building just up the street from our block. He was walking around on his slab, lucky thing.... but I guess soon enough it will be us doing the same thing too. We haven't met the people building next to us yet... I already feel sorry for the poor people who have to live next to my brats kids!!
Some good news too...the bank has approved the loan...again... and our financial advisor got stuck into them for taking so long, so the bank...bless their corporate heart... has decided to start the 12 month bridging loan from this loan approval rather than the first one for the land. So that gives us the 3 months back, which is great. :) Hopefully that means that we may even be able to move into the new house before selling this one, which, in turn, means that we wont have to find somewhere to rent between selling and end of building.
Only thing we need to figure out now is schooling for next year.....
