So Much Mess!

Matt, Milly and I made our usual weekend trip out to the block this morning to do some more cleaning up. Matt went earlier so that I could clean up the house and then I picked up some things for a barbecue lunch and went out.

When we had the block scraped a few months ago, they pushed everything back into the bushland. We had to get it done so that the builder could get the contours and soil test done. About three days after we'd forked out $600 the developer came in and moved the rubbish off everyone else's blocks. Of course, they've never been able to work out why ours got missed, but needless to say, they won't be able to do ours until there are more blocks that require it to be done. Since they're not currently selling any blocks, they can't promise when that will be. We, of course, can't wait now as we will have a house on our block soon and they won't be able to get machinery in then. Luckily for us, we have a very good friend with the same machinery who has offered to move it for us.

Today Matt chopped up some of the logs that were sticking out of the piles of rubbish to make it a bit easier for Dave to move it. He made piles and piles of timber and I got the illustrious job of moving it back onto the block so that we can burn it next weekend.

In other news, it seems the plans are nearly finalised and back from the certifier. I'm off to meet with the cabinet maker on Monday to finalise things with them and hopefully we'll hear back from the mortgage broker this week to finalise the loan. Hopefully things will start on our block soon. Our neighbours had their cut done on Thursday which was exciting to see. Can't wait to see their slab go down!
