Contracts Signed

We got approval on our loan last week. We signed the loan contracts on Friday afternoon and the building contracts on Saturday. The bank requires an invoice from Coral before they release the funds for the deposit. We asked our sales consultant for this on Saturday. I'm a little disapointed that she made a note of this and sent it with the contracts snail mail. The bank is asking us for it but we have to wait until the contracts arrive to head office and someone gets the message to send the bank the invoice. Just wish she had of emailed them asking for the invoice. It could have been emailed to the bank on Monday and they would already have their deposit and we would be one step closer to being in council. Oh well at least contracts are signed.

Contracts Have Arrived

Very exciting to see a package from Coral on our door step yesterday afternoon. We are very happy with the detailed drawings and are getting very excited to see it come together. We are still a little in shock with all of the information sent. Just trying to sift through it all and figure out what needs to be done.

We are currently waiting for our lender to give us approval for our loan. Hopefully sometime this week so we can sign papers before Christmas.

Colours, Colours, Colours

We went to visit the colours consultant today. Wow there is a lot buzzing through our heads. Thankfully the tap fittings that come with the eclipse inclusions are great. We love them so no decisions there. Bricks, garage door and gutters etc weren't too hard to choose. We were a little put out when we decided we don't like the white ceasar stone benchtops we thought we wanted. This has now changed to black which throws us completely in a spiral on cupboard colours. We have no idea what we are going to do. We are thinking about upgrading the carpet. For an extra $800 we can get much better quality carpet that looks and feels a lot better. We are thinking it might be worth it. Ahhh decisions, decisions.

Tender Has Arrived

We had our tender meeting yesterday. Well bad news is they struck rock. So another $20k later and we have ordered the contract. Everything else looked good. Now we are just in the mad rush to hopefully get drawings in to council by Christmas. I know I am really going on a hope and a prayer with that but one can only dream right.We are just waiting on the contract to be drawn up and finance to be approved.
