Done A Deal With The Devil

This morning I signed my building contract. I have given a copy to my Financial Institution and they are hoping to recieve a valuation by Friday. Fingers crossed cos that's when my heating/cooling quote expires and I don't want to miss out on a good deal!

Simonds Gallery has also called me and I now have an appointment with them on the 19th August. I really need to think long and hard about colours and what other inclusions I want.

Wishful Thinking??

Just spoke to my CSO and she has booked me in for the 29th July to sign my building contract. Am I excited? Nope. I think it will take a while before I start to enjoy this house building process. Perhaps I don't believe that this event will take place, and am afraid of further disappointment.

Well nevertheless, I have once again extended my land contract till 13th August. That's when my LMI expires, so hopefully everything will be sorted before then. I really don't want to be in a situation where I have to apply for LMI again. It took weeks last time and it would also mean another extension on my land contract.

I had a look at my future street recently.. and it's a disaster. There are rocks and chunks of cement mounted in various locations. I don't know what the story is there, but it looks terrible. Next time I travel up there, I hope to remember my camera.

Vanessa The Undresser

So I was suppose to sign my building contract on 1st July 2009. Well this didn't happen, as I hadn't heard from the builder at all. I contacted my CSO, who already is my 2ND one, and she stripped me of my hopes.. I have to wait another 2 weeks... or there abouts to sign.

My deadline for unconditional approval on my land contract expired yesterday, so I had to ask my solicitor to get a 2ND extension approved. I now have until 27Th July 2009.
