1/2 Way Between Tender Signing & Contract Signing
We are now at the half way point between having signed our Tender and signing our actual contract. The latest with us is that we are scouring the online ad's for apartments to rent in our area, hopefully fairly close to our current home so that we can not only keep tabs on the progress, but also because we are in an area that is close to our son's school, shops, train station, etc. So far we visited one place, but it only had a shower & no bath, so that was enough for us to rule it out. We are visiting at least two more properties this weekend and hopefully will be able to secure something in the next week or so.
We should receive our contract and final drawings specific to our house and lot late next week or early the following week. We will be going back to the Henley offices to sign the contract on Monday the 30th of April and hope to be into an apartment or unit right then or shortly after.
I phoned our Demolition guy today to see if our permit for demolition had been received yet and it has not. He said it could be a couple of weeks away as they take a while, so hopefully it won't be more than that and we are crossing our fingers we get it prior to the date we sign the contract. That way we can bring it with us to the signing and they will be able to secure the building permit fairly quickly as all work on our part will have been done. Demo guy said that he'll fax it over to me as soon as he has it.
Watch this space for continued updates on demo permits, disconnection of services (soon to be organized) and apartment/unit hunting!

My husband and I are also building the Henley Riviera. We also have two boys and hope to add a girl to the mix in the next year or so. We are also building on our land which is North/West Melbourne. We to had Melanie as our customer service rep. I thought I was reading about myself until I read on....
PS. My husband is also a consultant (Logistics) and he hasn't had a girl born into his family for over 170 years. If you're as desparate as me for a girl you should read "Choose the sex of your baby the natural way" by Hazel Chesterman-Phillips. My husband and I have both saved your blog in our favourites and will be regular visitors to find out progress etc as we have our tender appointment next week.
Hi Chelle,
You and your husband sound very similar (in circumstances) to my wife and I (apart from the 170 year no girl timeframe). My wife's name is Claire and she suggested you get in touch with her at her personal email address as we have so much in common and for some 'girl talk' I suppose. Her email is claireaussie@yahoo.com and she looks forward to chatting about houses, children, babies etc. She has read a book very similar to the one you have suggested (probably many of the same methods, etc), but she can tell you about that. I'm just the donor :-) She would have written this herself, but she's off to the market!
