Trying to keep people up to date with our build is nearly impossible. Hopefully this blog might make things a little easier...

Deposit paid

Well, after plenty of reshuffling with the design we have finally paid a deposit to McDonald Jones. 

However, we don't know our total amount or design changes yet! Unfortunately there is a price rise coming, and the only way we could secure the lower rates was to pay our deposit upfront with the written promise that it was refundable if we were not happy. Yay :) 

So, apparently our driveway is causing a number of issues. Because of the slope on the block we were presented with a number of ideas in order to get the correct gradient on the driveway. 

Firstly, to set the house further back on the block. I didn't even consider this as it would leave us with very little backyard which wasn't an option. The second option was to have a 1029 split in the house, which is massive, and the third was to lose the 2m of storage we had put in our garage. Unfortunately we had to lose the storage, and have requested to have it placed on the side. We'll see how that works out!
