Not much too report

Well, it seems to have been an age since I actually updated this blog and the reason behind this is that not too much has happened. In the last couple of weeks we have submitted our plans to council and are now just playing the waiting game. The plans were submitted by our builders through a private certifier. Apparently this is supposed to speed up the whole process, but we will just have to wait and see.

As part of this process we had to get a relaxation statement signed by one of aour neighbours. This is because we will be building the garage right on the boundary. Fortunately our neighbour had already been warned that this was likely to happen and had no issues in signing the application. At least that's one hurdle we have got through.

I am now just wanting to get started on the whole process. With all the rain we have been having up here in Brisbane I seem to have to keep going to the block to make sure the grass isn't overgrown! The sooner they start building the sooner I don't have to worry about the maintenance.

Anyway, in the meantime it gives me opportunity to investigate our options for air conditioning and home theatre set ups. The problem here is that the more time you spend researching, the more expensive it seems to get.
