Time for some action

Other bloggers are so right when they say that building involves a lot of waiting, interspersed with a few highs when major milestones are reached. It really is a roller coaster.

After drumming our fingers patiently waiting through the production phase, we headed to Melbourne for some work commitments and most importantly to catch up with friends and family before Christmas. 

It seems that every time we fly somewhere, it prompts some action. Sure enough, as soon as we got to Melbourne we received an email saying that our file was ready for the construction team. Funny... I thought we were building a house, not a file. Dad that joke is your fault! :-)

We have been given the names of our Customer Service Administrator and our Site Supervisor and have been told to expect a call from the Site Supervisor within the week (by this Thursday) to advise when construction will commence.

Whilst they have quoted a 6.5 month build time (not including the Christmas shutdown period) they have advised that based on current work, they expect to complete it in 5 months. Adding on the Christmas period of about one month, this brings us to a late May or early June completion.

I'm running a large conference in early June so I hope it is finished either a fair while before that, or just afterwards. In the past I moved house two weeks before a major event and it was not good for my mental state!
