It's been ages

Was thinking the other day... we signed the building contract in January, here we are in May, and we don't have a start date. On the weekend, I drafted up an email, with my perspective on things. I never remember things taking this long last time we built. Halfway through May and we've witnessed a friends house go up. We've also found a construction happening locally, which began demolition only 2 days before ours. Look at their progress. Our friend is building with Plantation Homes, and the local build is building with Clarendon. Both builders that we had approached when negotiating on builders. This is starting to get out of hand. Weeks of thinking and being confident that our building is on top of things. To find out we didn't even have building approval yet. What the???

Because nothing has happened since the site cut, I thought I would show you how things are going on other sites

Landscaping done

Today the ground was wet, but the landscapers got the job done before lunch time. I also noticed the house had a big tidy up and looks nice and shiny. The countdown is on, and the handover inspection has been booked. 3 Days Paint to front of wall Stair/handrail polish final coats??

Now we have power

Today the meter was finally installed. After receiving a notice that it would be completed with 10 business days, it finally took 12 business days. Landscapers were back to scrape and level the yard ready for plants, edging, gravel and turf. Can't wait to see the finished product. Fences were installed on the front wall. Judging by the pictures, it looks like the blinds are going to be installed and carpet started soon. What's Left 10 Days Paint to front of wall Stair/handrail polish final coats??
