Update… one hurdle but already half way over



So it’s been a little while since we have blogged, things are definitely ticking along, but obviously there are some things which are out of anyone’s control…

Ok so in terms of lodgments and approvals… we have approved and signed the building contracts with MJH which was a very smooth process.  Then we lodged to the water board for approval which is where our first hurdle was located… our building may potentially impact Sydney Water’s underground asset… so what does that mean for us you ask?  We basically require the application to be assessed by an Accredited Water Service Coordinator which will require a current service protection report (peg out).  This will cost us an additional amount, but nothing we can do so we authorized straight away to get the ball rolling.  We really don’t want any delays which we can control.

Our builder has also informed us that we have lodged to the Ponds Design Review Panel. Fingers crossed that comes through ok!!

Otherwise, I am slowly starting to put together an inspiration board for the furniture in the house… going with a style that’s eclectic, functional and a little industrial!! J Very inspired by Josh and Jenna from the block… we are obsessed!!! Go team Josh and Jenna!!!

Until we blog again!
