JOB START!!!!!*****!!!!!!!!*******!!!!!!!******

Yes, I can finally say we have a job start.  I was very excited to get the phone call today :)  3rd of October is THE DAY.  Two weeks and counting.

Still Waiting......

Well, tomorrow marks two weeks since we have had council approval and we are still waiting for Coral to give us a start date!  They told us it would be 2 weeks max so hopefully we hear something tomorrow!  I just really need something to look forward to at the moment.  Really lacking motivation and excitement.  Come on Coral, give us the call tomorrow!!!???  ;)

EXCITED!

Good News!  I checked on the council website and it said we had approval today :)  Have already emailed Coral!  Hopefully they will be quick in the next stage....bring on the slab!

Nearly there....

I have been getting on the council website every day to track our DA application.  It is finally our turn:)  Two weeks ago there were 14 homes in front of us, last Monday 4 and now we are it.  The last house before us was approved today!  Hopefully we will hear some good news in the next couple of days.  They have been averaging two days on each house over the last week.  I just want it to start! Don't think I can wait much longer.  Who would have thought that back in January when we paid our deposit we would still be sitting in council 8 months later.  Watch this space for some good news (better be)

At Council...

After our little DA complication, we finally got an email today to advise us that our application has been lodged with the Council.  Please, please, please council be quick..we have already wasted 4 weeks with a private certifier :(  Cross fingers for us!!

Frustrating News

We got a little bit of frustrating news yesterday!  We decided to go to a private certifier for DA approval, as we have been told by many that they are quicker than councils.  We received an email yesterday, after it has been with a certifier for 2.5 weeks, that we are still going to have to get approval from council.  They explained that some houses can just get approval from the private certififier but for some reason ours can't! Of course! They don't know this until a planner has looked at it.  So cranky, what a waste of 2.5 weeks :(  Who knows how long the council is going to take!  They don't have a very good track record.
Oh well, at least we can save some more money for when we move in.
Keep your fingers crossed for me that the council are quick!
