27/09/2012 - OUR LAND HAS SETTLED - we now own a block of dirt
1/11/2012 - Meeting with Tender Presenter at The Ponds
We decided that that $300 per room paint colour change was going to be just the beginning of silly charges - so back to the drawing board as far as a builder.
3/11/2012 - went in search of a new builder - like the Overture & the Symphony by Masterton - off to check them out. Made a mistake by going to Gledswood Hills instead of Oran Park - to view Symphony - fortuitous - as Sandra Dobe our consultant has been great :-)
