We have been approved!

So, a big cause for celebration..... we have the approval in our possession. Yeah!

So to celebrate here is a look at the floor plans, it's not big but is sure is pretty. Of course it sailed through the Basix needed these days.

We went to the block on Sunday and chose the tree for the tree house and also the hammock. Don't be surprised if an application for a pool goes in soon as well.The block is beautiful and green from the rain, I will post a new photo soon.

Calls from council

So I did actually get a call from council last night, 6.15pm to be exact. Yes your plans are finalised, signed off etc. Yes I will put them in the post and have a good day!

Today I get a call from council, yes the plans are finalised, signed off and would you like to come out and pick them up? Mmmm a well oiled machine if ever I have seen one.

"Perhaps you could pop them in the mail for me like the kind gentleman said he would last nigh". Oh OK I wonder how many days it will take?

How does council talk to your husband when you know he is in a meeting?

How clever the council people are.... they are able to talk to my husband on the phone even though he is in a meeting in another state at the time of their conversation.

Let me explain something council people, I don't know about you but my husband does not make calls to council to see where the DA is up to or ask any other questions. That is what I do, he doesn't know your phone number or the DA number. Do you all think it may be time to consider there may be two people with the last surname building in the estate or that you are giving the wrong information to the wrong person (scary)

The sad part is this is the second time I have had the conversation with them......

How long does approval take?

So now we are at June 25th and guess what.... still nothing.

Every time we speak with favourite council lady it is a different story. The fire place is fine, the plans have, from what we are told, passed everything they need to. They must have been shown to everyone in the state by now. Last week they were signed off by the "last person" who needs to sign off on them. So what is the hold up? Maybe it is the environmental group wondering why we need to cut down a few trees, One would hope not considering there are over 40 new ones already planted.

I just wish they would hurry up, long gone is the dream of being in by Christmas, Easter is now more the plan.

The builder, Leslie Paton, is off overseas on Friday for 3 weeks, will it never end? Maybe council will have their act together by then. Oh lets hope so.
