That's good, now you can keep up with the news, only problem is it distracts you from other tasks....

Vicki and I are looking forward to a completely new view in September 2019. We are booked on a 19 day tour in Canada, we plan to stay on and do a bit of driving when the rest of the tour flies home. Just looked at a map of Canada and it is going to take quite a bit of driving to see what is on our list. Looking forward to the challenges.

Back to square one with our new house, the builder went bust, so we are now getting quotes to build the same or very similar plan.

Hope he did not go under owing you money Robert.

No Graeme we were meant to pay our deposit soon so dodged a bullet there.

Hi Robert, Lucky to dodge the bullet there, We had a similar happening many years ago but it was the finance company with whom we were getting our loan through went bust. Re negotiated the loan with another mob but had to pay a higher % on the loan overall.
Are you able to access the 1st Home Owners Grant?

Regards to Vicky.

Sorry to hear about your builder - how disappointing!

I hope your tour of Canada will consist of going from blitz owner to blitz owner. They're a great bunch of folk there.

No grants for me Rick, I have already owned three houses even though I never bought any.
Yes Keith that is the plan once the initial tour is finished and the others fly home.

One more meeting with G J Gardner on Monday then the plans can go to council.
My new toy has finally arrived, 12 weeks late, so I can change the view myself now.

Hi Rick you asked how the house is going. It is a slow process unfortunately. The pad is ready and we finally have a construction certificate. Bricks, floor coverings, tiles and paint have all been chosen and priced. We will just get started and hit the twenty day Christmas shut so still a while before we are choosing furniture.

Slab poured before Christmas, frame delivery date is 9th January.
