Our block!

Well, I have finally decided to get organised and sit down to put some information on our blog for our friends and family to be able to keep themselves up to date with the building of our first home.

My wife, Dawn and I have decided to build in Narara on the Central Coast of NSW. We have been living here for approx 6 years since Dawn moved to Australia from England and I settled here after university in Armidale.

Our block is in a great sheltered location overlooking a lovely grassed asset protection zone which gives us a beautiful bush outlook over the land below which we don't have to maintain but get to enjoy! Best of both worlds we think.

Dawn and I spent many hours trekking through the many display homes all over Sydney and the Central Coast deciding on the builder and design we would go with for this project. We eventually decided to build with Metricon Homes because of the beautiful finish in there display homes, the great design that we found to match our lifestyle both now and into the future and the customer service received throughout our enquiries.

We are building a Phoenix 38 design. The house is five bedrooms and two bathrooms with a seperate study downstairs and sitting/theatre room for me! We have a beautiful open concept living area with outdoor room and formal dining area across the back of the house to take in our great views.

I will do my best to catch up with our posts to bring you up to date with our build. As it stands, the piers were poured for our slab this morning. We are very excited to finally see progress on the site as it has been a LONG and at times extremely frustrating process to finally get things happening on site.
