No one has probably noticed but it has been quite a while now since my last post! Mainly due to things being very ahh... challenging might be the best word for it.
It all started at tender on 18th Sept... a few hours had past and everything seemed to be going great.. that was until we heard news of our 'extremely deep sewer' which was 5.5 metres deep and since we are looking at building only 1.5m from the sewerage easement our site costs were going to go up by an extra $8,000 just because of the depth of the pipe!!
Obviously we were devastated by this news and didn't continue on to our scheduled colour selection appointment in the afternoon...
Since then, we have been working to obtain fixed site costs for the pipe (should know this by early next week) and have been working to try and get a 4m setback instead of the usual 5m setback which is required in our estate... Yesterday we scheduled in our tender and colour selection appointment in AGAIN for Wednesday 15th Oct... hopefully they go much better the second time around!
Just found out today, after 2 weeks of waiting that YES we may have a 4m setback so this will help improve our site costs although are likely to still be quite horrendous..
So things are starting to look up again a little bit... at least for now :)
