WE HAVE KEYS

Hooray!!!! We finally have our house, it was very exciting driving my car up the driveway for the first time and opening the garage door. Finally being able to get in my house.

I didn't get a chance to take photos this afternoon but will definitely take photos before we start the move this wkend. I will be doing lots of cleaning first, cleaning and more cleaning. Then we'll be packing, packing and more packing.

We moved out of our flat in 2006 so I'm looking forward to unpacking stuff we put in storage since that time. We bought the block in Dec 07 so it has taken us one and half years to get to this point. 4mths stuffing around not knowing what to do who to go with, then signed up with EB it took 5mths from tender to contract stage and 10mths construction stage.

Thank God that's over - EB must have been celebrating this afternoon just like we were tonight.

Hi Hermyleen
I have been watching your progress and am glad you are finally in. We are also building and EB home and seem to have had many hiccups like you. Our slab was poured on 21 Oct 08 and they are still to do driveway, downstairs tiling, carpet and a few "fix ups" I am so jealous....

Congratulations - we have been reading about your journey and wish you much joy in your new home. We are also building with EB (Madison 42)and haven't reached lock-up as yet. Many of your entries we seem to be living with all the frustration that goes with it. We hope it is all worth it in the end and we get a fantastic home like yours! Enjoy!!
