KICK OFF!

We thought at times we wouldn't get there, but we can now officially say CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!!  :-) :-)

After a few life hurdles including both of us changing jobs, me living away for work for 6mths and a family tragedy, life is fiiinaallyy looking up and our dream is starting to become reality. Construction on our home officially started on Thursday the 26th September 2013 :-D

So far the site has been cut, the surveyor has pegged out the home and plantation have set up :)

SO EXCITING!!!!!!

Ps- cannot speak highly enough of Plantation re: the delays. They were patient, understanding and never pushed us once. 

DAY 1- site cut 26 September 

Our neighbour took the first photos for us and delivered the surprise that they had kicked things off :)
