This week we have received the green light from the private certifier, so we are now just waiting for a site start date! You may have noticed that I have added a site start counter, with a guessed site start date of the 14 April.

Plans in for approval

Four Months to the day since we started the building process with Metricon. On reflection we have come a long way, yet not as far I would have thought or liked.

We were hoping for building to start in Feburary, and it seems more likley that it will be April or worst case May even if I have to personally start the building myself!

On a positive note there does appear to be some things happening!

CSC advised that plans etc have been given to the Private certifier and within 3 - 6 weeks we should know if we have approval.

Emailed Signed contract to the Bank for them to spin their wheels.

I find the banks to be inflexible when it comes to contract variations etc. I keep telling them it's likely to change another 100 times yet before we are done, and they don't seem to get it.

Received a letter from the BSA saying Metricon have insured our house build with them YAY!

Looks like we are finally starting to see some progress! Praise the Lord, was starting to think that the house might never get built!
