The story so far!

Well, where should I start?

My wife and I decided back in April 2014 to buy a land and build our dream house in SE suburb of Melbourne. We put a deposit for the land in May 2014 and it was just settled in November 2014. We also made a deposit for the building in May 2014, did the selection appointment in July 2014 and signed the building contract in August 2014. Although the built has not started yet, but we feel that it's been already a very long journey to where we are today. Many problems occurred in between those time such as problems with the bank (we need to change our bank because of the previous stupid bank manager), problems with the drawings as we changed quite a lot of structures, some of which are not allowed and some are allowed after a very hard fought with PD, the land title was also delayed and we also needed to apply for dispensation for our eaves as well, whooh, so many things!!!
