He said our frames had been delivered and should start to go up next week.
He seems nice. He said after the frames are finished he will let us on site so we can write on the frames with the kids :)
Here is our blue steel!

building on a solid foundation
After spending the day in hospital with my eldest son for his routine infusion for Crohn's disease. I find out (via future neighbours) that we have a slab!
I was pretty annoyed at MJH for not telling me when that was going to happen, as I specifically asked them to let me know and I was told they would be giving me regular progress updates.
I really wanted to be there when they did it and even get the boys to do hand prints in the garage floor if it was allowed.
Oh well. It's still all exciting news and it's feeling so real now. I can't actually get my head around the fact that's it's happening, it all seems very surreal.
Our lovely future neighbours sent me some pics of the form work and the slab today, which was very nice of them. If they had not informed me of the progress who knows when MJH would be letting us know?
Anyway it looks like a good flat strong foundation for us to build our home on!
The Wise and Foolish Builders
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” Luke 6:46-49

We have been piered!
Our site scrape was done today and also these little grey holes appeared ;)
Our SS called me to let us know we had piers, and to introduce himself. He sounds very nice. I hope this next part goes smoothly. It seriously has been a long time waiting for this stage and clumps of concrete make me happy today :)

Hampton lights
I have my 3 beautiful Hampton Style pendant lights ready for over our island bench in the kitchen.
Thanks A-M (http://www.thehousethata-mbuilt.com).
Unfortunately she no longer has her online lighting shop.
I'm glad I didn't wait till later to buy them!

IKEA
My lovely friend picked up 4 white IKEA bar stools for me to go under the island bench in the kitchen. The boys helped me assemble one last night to make sure the height was right.
They are going to look nice in our new home, I will have to get some cute cushions for them too :)
Thats one thing ticked off my list from IKEA. I know we will be spending a bit more time there soon!
Here they are in a kitchen very similar to what ours will be.

change of splash-back :)
I had a call from our colours lady yesterday. Informing us that we are getting an upgrade on our air conditioning and dishwasher :)
Also that the white colour we'd chosen for the glass splash-back is discontinued so I needed to go to the colour studio today to try to match a similar white to the one we had picked.
This was actually a blessing as I was really worried about the white we'd chosen and I regretted not choosing white subway tiles instead of the glass. So today I was able to change it over and now I'm so excited to be getting the white subway tile splash-back that I really wanted. The only thing is that the tiles are a bit longer than I liked, but I think it's still going to look fab :)
It will look something like this...

we've been pegged :)
Our CLO told me we were moved into the construction phase prior to the Christmas break and our file was currently with their Production Estimating team to complete the ordering process!
So on the 15th January we finally saw a few yellow pegs appear on our lot.
Still no more progress other than that as of yet :(
