Still no news for the land title, but....

Although still no news about the land settlements, but this morning, finally recieved a call from the electrical lady (Simonds Gallery) regarding my 'updated' electrical plan.. i ran through with her again regarding all my new addition and things that i want to remove... happy at the end.. then realised that i still forgot the phone point for the security system.. @@#$#%#$##$, such a fool of myself..

Although, still no news about the land title...

We are out whole day today, went to yum cha with friend from Adelaide, then visited some furniture stores to get some idea... 
On our way home, around 5.30pm, decided to have a look the land
It was getting dark, don't think we can see much..
But wooo... our future neighbour were there too... hahahaa... the one from next door actually...
We all laugh, and share the happyness... we happy to see that a lot has been done... the road is already completed, the driveway in opposite have been done also... the excess soils have been removed from our side... light poles alread there (thanks god is not located in front of my block).... electricial/water/gas are in progress... 
Feel so good... hope that our drive way and the rest will be done in the next 2 weeks... and we can have the land settled without delay... let's prey

A busy week.....

It has been so busy at work these few days (nearly has a critical patch, mean more works), also mum is here too... 

Finally talked to Tanya (my new loan manager) who advised that my land loan is all set, just need to wait for the settlement... that's good news

Also get hold of the electrical lady from Simonds and finalised my electrical requirement...  The only thing is - Simonds cannot do the prep work for optic fabic connection, so i need to organise with the contractor who employed by the land developer.  More work for me... to bad...  and now they have to put it in writing that they allow me to bring my own contractor..
 
Another thing happening this week is, i have been trying to contact my 'new' CSR, a number of phone calls and emails, and finally she called back... She seems ok, quite nice, but still don't have the quote that i have been waiting for.  Ask about the optic fabic setup, she said that she will be having a meeting with the construction manager tomorrow and figure it out...  Looks like we are not the only customer building in Alamanda, so they have to deal with this issue anyway...

Hopefully this can be resolved, and of course i need this in writing...

If they cannot do the work and also not allow me to get someone doing it, then there is no point for me to build with them, optic fabic is the main reason we bought the land there, no way i will give it up...

Just another day...

Today, just asking my CSR whether or not, he has the quote ready for me... he didn't has anything for me but advised that it is his last day being my CSR and my new CSR is a woman

Now this make me worried because someone on the online forum just talking about how bad their CSR (a woman) is and they are building with Simonds, i just hope that i am not that lucky to have her

At least i have one good news, called the land developer today that my land should be ready by the end of this month (July), yeah, yeah...

Then i called my socilator who actually advised that she is ready, i am quite happy that things turn out on track, just a bit worry about my land loan.. I know that it has been approved but becauase my friend (my loan manager also) actually is giving birth next week, so i have to deal with the new loan manager, so just make me a bit nervious.... trying to called her and unable to reach her at all...  have to try hard on Monday...

Contract Date set

Received a call from my CSR that my contract will be ready by 22 Aug, which is good and my house has already reached 5 stars (although i have not seen the report yet)..

Later of the day received another call to book in Contract appointment, will be 29 Aug (because i only available on Friday)

Well, there are a few things still unsure, although they said they will put into the contract first and i can remove it later, but i still want to sort it out first
- Optic Fabic installation setup
- Additional inclusion of electrical requirement, still haven't recevied any feedback from the lady

The other thing is my land is still not settle, still no news from the land developer, i think i won't have the land this month, it will be delayed most likely

But i think it is about time to see my loan manager again, unfortunately my friend is no longer with me who is on maternity leave... hope i can get along well with the new loan manager
