Building our Heywood 29: April 2009
http://fromevetoeternity.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Fully bricked up. well almost! On Saturday we saw the bricking was 99.9% complete with just a few window sills to go and under a couple of the doors. Hopefully the rain stayed away long enough on Monday for them to finish it off. With the bricks complete it means we are officially at lock up, so it was no surprise to find the lockup invoice in the letter box on Monday ( Oh dam do I really have to pay this one it kind of really BIG ). Back of the house. Blind side of the house.

The concrete truck from Cranbourne premix turned up at 7am. yep still not much light! Under the portico. the concrete mix looks a lot like the stuff they use on roads at this stage except it looks as black as night. And here its is after the second truck The concrete is then smoothed all over to make sure the shape is uniform. With a little help from a broom.

Building our Heywood 29: December 2008
http://fromevetoeternity.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Had a phone call today from my broker today and the bank has come back saying the value of the house and land is $20,000 lower than what we are paying. Most of it is the house that is short with the land being 4k and the rest the house. This leaves us looking for that $20,000 to get the finance which of course I don’t have. I managed to come across the list of houses sold they compared our house to. (Don't ask how I got this cos I'm not saying). The areas circled in red.
