Tender Appointment

Pretty nervous, tomorrow morning we will have our tender appointment. We are both already stressed out as we're told it will take over 3 hours to go through the documents. Let's hope we thought about everything we want and that we will remember it tomorrow... Hubby is not the patient type, I won't be surprised if after a couple of hours he's going to try killing the PD guy.. We'll see how it goes. Cross my fingers.

Went OK....

Had to insist NO carpet (even if its an upgrade).
Double Glazing throughout (not just on the front where people can see).
The Staircase ..... We managed to get what we want (we think)

Our new home

Hi!

Moved to the country just few months ago and we already out house hunting. This is how we like to do things: fast and painless. Let's hope it will be so..

We decided a couple of months ago to buy a lot of land at "Heritage Springs" in Pakenham (near to public transports and shopping centers and it looks lovely).

We looked at different builders and decided for PD: it seems having very good finishings and good reviews.

The home will be a Marriott 44 (I know the 48 is the one in display everywhere, but 44 would suit us fine) with a Retro facade.

We will start the building in November but in two weeks we are having our tender meeting: very scary, we are not yet sure of all different upgrading options. Even if most things we want are on our list, as soon as you read someone else's blog you find out there are things you never thought of which are very important like split heating/cooling system, or the number of power points you need... I believe this will be the real headache: how to organise the interia, as the rest seems pretty easy.
