Small but significant steps have been made since our selections a couple of weeks ago. Over the last couple of days the Developer's Approval has been given to build our house, without any changes required and the bank have finally managed to find the contract I sent them (only two weeks later!) and given us the approval for our finance. It would seem that we've nearly cleared the last of the hurdles on the way to getting the build actually happening. Next up is the Casey City Council granting the building permit and it'll be time for us to get out to the block to clear the debris left by other builders on our land.
Without getting too ahead of ourselves, what with the building yet to start and all, we've been putting in some thought about the important additions to our new house (no, not the driveway, landscaping or even letterbox) but the pendant lights to go above the kitchen bench and the roof mounted speakers for the living area! For some reason they seem like the most irrelevant things in the grand scheme of things, but also two of the easier ones!!! Of course, we're hoping to pick up a couple of nice designer items on our trip to NY for the new house somewhere along the way as well.
It now looks as if it's going to be a race between Metricon to start finally building our new home and us heading off on our holiday. There are only 19 days (14 work days!) left for them to take the chequered flag first. Not that I'm counting though!

If they do manage to start before you leave, you might not recognise the block when you get back!
You probably know this, but if you look at anything electrical while in NY, remember the USA work on a different power standard to us, so make sure it's compatible. Other than that, have a great time picking out memories.
I'm sure you will probably have some action on your block before you go!! So exciting!
