Valuation Pending

Well met with my broker on Wednesday to hand over the certified copy of my contract to build (yay to the government and the FHOG!)

He has still yet to hear back from the bank as its in the hands of the 3rd party valuers, so hopefully I get a good word by tomorrow 

The longer the wait the greater potential for delay in a site start which is not ideal - yeh the sooner the better I reckon.  Never the less the builder isnt going to start anything until Ive got unconditional approval for the construction loan.

It is still nail biting suspense on this front, though my sleeping patterns have change pre-land settlement from waking up at 3am with worry to not going to bed til after 1am with anxiety.  Well as they say what doesnt kill you makes you grow stronger so maybe Ill be rock hard at the end of this long experience!

Also emailed my CSO at PD and asked about the cost of the variation for the extra window in my 4th bedroom  and have yet to hear back.  As soon as I get that quote back Im going to decide whether I should add in the extra connections for the water tank ... based on the price differential they were going to charge an extra $1700 to include a standard 2100 litre water tank as opposed to not having one.  Well a quick google says I can buy one for around the $700 mark so why not save a buck or a thousand.  Think in the long run it will be good to get them to do the install of the pipes from the down pipes and back up to mains and connection to the 2 toilets and the concretet pad and pump as it will save me a lot of time and hassle in the long run and wont cost that much extra as opposed to me project managing the entire process myself.
