Breaking the Earth

This is a blog that aims capture the processes, hoops and hurdles that we followed in building our dream home.

First up it was never meant to be a dream home, being sensible types we wanted to be pragmatic. We can't think of everything first time around we thought.

Balancing this is the comment made to us at a party, we are not first home owners. We are a bit older and our next home will likely be a downsize.

Finding the block was easy and lucky, we stumbled across an advert and on a whim had a look. After protracted negotiations with the land agent we finally purchased the block.

We already had an idea of a plan so thought it would be an easy thing to select a builder and design a plan.

First stage was to have the trees removed.
