Slabbity do, slabbity da!

After receiving the good news that our land was already settled, Agent M called me and told me that our slab will be poured in next friday. or this friday. er next friday.

I was so excited, I didn't understand her. Ahahaha! So I had to text her to confirm. She texted back and said that it will be next Friday. Wohoooo!

Finally!

Our land has been settled yesterday! Finally!!!
After all the hullabaloos of our beloved conveyancer! Grrrr!

Then our agent(M)(who has been so helpful in following up our case) called and informed us that slab will be poured on next Friday. This is to beat the November 11 deadline for the FHOG. Wohoooooo!

Then after so much rejoicing, got an email from agent(S) and she said that one of our change request couldn't be done as it doesn't look right. It took them months to realize this? When that change was already in our contract for ages and included in the pricing? It was part of our initial change and they charged us extra for that, and now they are saying it can not be done. Only after we told them that we need the detailed drawings to see on how they plan to do it. What the @#$@#%!


Arrrgggg... this building process is making me crazy....

Ekkkks! What is happening.

We went to the site yesterday and guess what we found...fences, fences and lotsa fences!




They have put a fence around the perimeter of our land(And lotsa pipes inside!)

I think that is a good sign as it means they are ready to start building. What is not good about it is up to now our land hasn't been settled yet. Yeah, thanks heaps to our so-called "expert" conveyancer(yeah, that is what they call themselves), we haven't been conveyed on what's happening with it. And another not so good thing about it is our FHOG is about to expire on the 11th of November. Geeessshhhh! Stress! Stress!

I assigned hubby the task in calling the conveyancer.Cause if I talk to her, I know I would definitely blow my top and she will definitely hear a lot from me. She is really getting into my nerves. So to avoid all the unwanted drama, I let hubby do the talking. Ehehehe. (And yes, hubby is the one who takes the blow and hears a lot from me. :P)

As of this writing, hubby said she was able to talk to her and she "promised" that the settlement will happen tomorrow. Let us wait and see....

SMS from hubby that made me happy.

'FHOG is granted. Land will be settled on Thursday(Oct. 22). She will ring me for updates.'


That is what our conveyancer has told him. Hopefully it's true and she's not saying it just to shut me up. After I've sent my "love letter" to that conveyancer, I refused to call them anymore as I know once she gives me another round of her yada-yada-excuses, I will definitely blow my top. So, I gave hubby the gruelling task of calling the conveyancer. :p

So cross fingers!

And yeah, she didn't call us for that update as she has promised last Friday. We were the ones who called her to get an update. That b!tc4 is really driving me crazy, I tell you. Grrrr!

Love Letter

I just wrote our conveyancer a very long "love" letter.
I don't think they know what 'conveyancer' means.

And that is to "CONVEY"!!!!

And still not settled!

Our First Home Owners Grant is about to expire (You have to start building 26weeks after signing the house contract to avail of the FHOG) and our land is still not settled. Uh-oh! That doesn't sound good and doesn't seem right. =(

The bank is waiting for the settlement papers.
The developer is waiting for the funds.
The conveyancer is waiting for the bank approval.

And we are waiting in vain...

What the @$##%! Who's not doing their job????

Sold...to us!

We went to our lot and this is what we found! Yey!!!!

Went to meet our sales agent today as we received the final quote for our changes and sadly it is still not correct! Arrrggghhh! We received the letter last Oct5 and they want us to sign it and send it back on the 7th. Geeeshhh...they slept on it and now they are rushing us to submit it back. Great!

Anyway, was able to talk to the agent and she said and re-assured me that they will get it right. Mmmm, I am pretty sure they should. :p She also said that the building shall commence soon. Double yey! Or should it be double Nay!

After hearing all these great news, my happy thought was burst by the news of interest rates going up, up and away again. Oh well, what can we do. We are always at the bank's mercy.

By the way, was able to upgrade my range hood and stove without having to pay the $500 late notice fee. Yey again for that!
