Footings

Well today was a fantastic day. We had dog training in the morning (but because we forgot about Daylight savings, I missed my class). After training we drove past the block to have a look, not expecting any more work to have been done, but they've started the footings, and flattened the backyard, which was quite exciting. At this rate, they might even finish the house earlier then their April 12 deadline!


This afternoon, we were going to go to Strathalbyn with Darren and Sarah and the dogs to have a look at a property. Sarah found the road on the map which was near Stirling, Aldgate and Bridgewater, so we followed them in that direction. When they couldn't find it, we pulled off and had a look at the map. Turns out Strathalbyn is a long was south. We gave up and found a park in Bridgewater to walk the dogs. It was part of the Heysen Trail, and had a creek running through it were we let the dogs play. They had so much fun. We also saw heaps of Kookaburras, which were nesting and the adults kept taking food in to the babies. Unfortuantely I didn't take the camera with us (of all days!). Hopefully we'll go back soon.

One small step...

for Rossdale, one giant leap for US!

We can finally see some progress on our house. We went to the block today because we had our committee meeting, and it was sooo nice to see work has started, even if it is just a bit of gravel.



I'm actually getting excited again, even though I know we still have HEAPS to do once it's built, but it's one step closer.

Stay tuned for more updates!

And.... ACTION

We have just heard back from the builder. Our house is due to start site preparation NEXT WEEK!

I'm so excited, even if it does mean we'll be on a VERY tight budget for a while.

Will keep you informed when we have some progress.
