And almost the end of this part of the journey.
The council now has cashed all the final cheques, including the monstrous amount for infrastructure (an almost $80,000 "donation"). So now I just sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for the sealed plans to come back. Then it's off to the solicitor to have them lodged with Titles Office or whatever it's called these days, and we will have 5 instead of 1.
Zoe can then build her house after the long long looooooong time waiting.
It's been a stressful year. The house build wasn't too bad - colour choices are stressful! In retrospect, a lot of things that got forgotten at last minute, or could have been changed; but nothing major. Certainly no complaints against the builder, who must have had his patience stretched to the limit with the stuff ups caused by the sub division part. My walls are straight, nothing leaks and nothing has broken.
The sub division on the other hand - arrrghghh!! horrible horrible horrible. I don't think there has been one step where there wasn't a hold up or problem, and most of the problems were caused by Project Services. damn them to hell.
The next stage can begin soon .. Zoe and Troy's house. And the building of 3 houses on the front blocks ... sigh ... I am a sucker for punishment I think lol. But rather that, than pay around $100k in CGT.
A happy new year for us all :)
