We’re famous…

The internet definately works in strange ways. Like that fact that we have applied absolutely no search engine optimisation effort to this blog, yet still we appear as number three in the Google list after two entries from Porter Davis.

But it gets stranger… like when we were at Point Cook today looking at the progression of three Regent houses being constructed around the corner from our block. We saw a couple in a car eyeing off a house and we thought that it might have been theirs, so Michael approached the open window to have a chat - quite innocent as we were wanting to find out if they were our bricks and roof tiles (sure, it was a different house but the colours looked good) - but no, it wasn’t theirs, they were just doing what we did when we were selecting colours - driving around pointing at people’s houses.

But anyway, we had a chat and found out they were building the Regent 23 and have been in discussions with the exact same superb sales consultant as us - they are still finalising sales details, but heading down this same path. So we pointed out the three Regent houses on that stretch of road, and headed on our way.

Just as we are heading back to the car, we get stopped by one of the couple who had a few questions - she asked “do you guys have that blog online?” (yes paraphrased, but that gives you the jist of it). Laughing, we had more of a chat about our experiences so far, what to look out for, what to expect at appointments, and agreed the raised kitchen is a little, well, dangerous. But we’ve already talked about that one.

So, to the new Regent 23 couple, you’ll no doubt be reading this shortly - and all the best on your adventure - drop us a line and say hi again : )

The waiting game

You may be wondering why we haven’t posted for a little while. Well the answer is simple. We’re playing the waiting waiting waiting game. The things we’re waiting for are (in order):

  1. Land to title (about 3 weeks)
  2. Final mortgage documents to sign (the bank won’t issue them till the land titles)
  3. Settle on the land (mortgage payments start!!!)
  4. Get start date
  5. Start building!

With a bit of luck all will happen quickly, especially the land settlement! We may have to put a rocket up BankWest for that…

Oh, and we’re STILL waiting for PD to get back to us with our contract variations.  Its been 5 1/2 weeks since we signed the construction contract.  Seriously, does it really take that long???  grrrrrr!!!!!
