It's been a while since I mentioned how our plans for home building are going so far.
Last time I spoke about it, we were getting ready for our meeting with the building company, to sketch up our plans and to figure out our internal and external colours. That was back in March. Since then, it feels like not much has happened - which is apparently normal in the grand scheme of things. We waited for weeks for our builders, Allcastle Homes, to finalise our official plans and to work out our electrical pricing and BASIX certification, and it was finally, FINALLY, sent off to Blacktown City Council on April the 8th.
So what happens now? Well, we wait some more. (Of course!) I am the most impatient person ever, so I am finding this whole process horrific - and it only gets worse once the actual build gets started.
I was optimistic and hoping that by the time the wedding rolled around, we'd have already gotten our approval and had a slab laid ready to get working on, but now I'm not so sure. The reason we got started on this build last December was in the hopes that it would be completed by this December, but every agonising day that we wait around, that dream is looking less likely.
If you're up for sending some good building juju our way, we certainly wouldn't say no to it - here's hoping our council approval happens sooner rather than later so we can get on with it.
Do you want to actually see the home we're planning on building? Here it is!
I can't wait to share more details about the process with you, once more is actually happening. :)

Cool! It looks very chic/modern.
looks big!
Waiting for home things is the WORST. For us, it was closing and getting the keys that felt like it took forever. Now, we actually have the home and are just working on getting it the way we want it before we live in it.
Yours... is beautiful!
It's BEAUTIFUL!
Gorgeous! Very modern! I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like :)
Oooh! I love it! I know the waiting is a pain (believe me, I KNOW). But trust me when I tell you it'll all be worth it when you and Jase move in and get settled in and everything is just the way you want it.
