Sunsets & walks in the park ahead of us

Its been a long wait from the day we first put a hold on our block but the day has nearly come where we will be receiving our title. Finally we can put all the finishing touches on our working drawings and start constructing our new home. Our property is now looking like a block and not just a piece of land in the middle of nowhere. We have neighbours to one side as well as to our back so we wont feel so alone when we move in which is a good thing. We now have fences so its easier to see where the house & pool will be placed.
We ended up putting double driveways (one on each side) so we can construct a U turn drive through made of recycled bricks rather than try to grow grass down in Melbourne which is pretty hard to do at the moment with all the water restrictions. I'm thinking I will have nice borders of David Austin roses going all around the driveway and up both sides.

They don't have much else to do before hand over, just put the final layer of tar on the road and away we go so we are hoping to have title at the end May-early June.

Our happy little man standing proud on our new block!


And have a look at this glorious sun set! I can not wait to sit back on the alfresco enjoying this and...

THIS!

I hope you all had a wonderful weeked!

Hi Siobhan, Gee your block looks great - nice and flat and it looks to be quite a size - big enough for the pool! How exciting!!!
