Quick house update
Jan. 18th, 2010 01:47 amWell, today we did more than just talk about it... not much more, but a bit. We spoke to the people who build the house we have decided on. We discussed the changes we want made - most of which are ok except for some queries about the kitchen rearrangement. We'll see what happens.
Also, Parramatta council has a requirement that the garage be set back a minimum of 30cm from the rest of the house. This is going to cost us extra money and I'm not sure what the purpose of it is. I presume that it's to reduce the aesthetic (or not) impact of the garage on the total building, but I'm not convinced that adding 30cm onto part of the house will make a significant difference to that.
Now there's quotes to happen, site inspections and lots of council paperwork. Argh! I think it should all be easier. But then, I want my new house yesterday. :)
