It's all happening!

I guess a bit of background is in order first...

I'm Carol and my fiance is Bruce. We've been together for almost 4 years and he finally popped the question on 3 July.

We've lived apart all this time (long story) but now we are looking at building our first home together.

We initially thought we'd rent... then decided to buy... and now we are building.

Nothing signed yet... but we have found our builder (Allworth Homes) and we have found our house (Lachlan Elite). We've looked at so many builders and designs and have not found one that even comes close to ticking as many of our boxes as this one does.

We like that this is an L shape design... so we can build a verandah that will overlook the backyard/pool. Also, the "activities room" is where the bar and pool table will be and it's nowhere near the bedrooms!!

Now all we have to do is sell Bruce's place, borrow a stack of money and buy some land.

Land... hmmm...

The house we have chosen needs a slightly wider block than most we have looked at. We have found a block for sale not far from Bruce's work (or mine) and it looks perfect.
