Welcome



Hello family, friends and visitors.

Well I finally got around to taking the time to create this long-promised blog.

I know I've been talking about it for ages and started collecting the photos for it last November, but they do say all good things take time
We've certainly been learning that lesson during the land settlement and construction stages of building our dream home. At times the journey has been frustrating, but it is good to know that we have a site-supervisor who is a total perfectionist. Things might take a while to happen but at least we know that we are getting expert service and a quality final product.

Well, enough of that...let the blogging begin.....

Our Dream Home
It took a lot of searching to find our dream home. What started out as a wander around display homes became something more real when we sat down did the finance and realised that as a team we could actually do this.
We looked through so many homes and spent time with consultants from several companies but never felt quite right. That was until we walked into the Metricon homes at Berwick. There were two in particular that we loved, one was the Tyrell, the other was the Broadview. We made an appointment with Leanne at the Eden Rise estate to chat figures. At this stage I doubted we could afford a Metricon. Afterall they have an excellent reputation and seemed out of our range.

Well Leanne was absolutely wonderful and when we looked closely we soon discovered that with Metricon you get the best of both worlds, see a lot of the cut price mobs hide the extras and cut costs with poor quality and workmanship. Leanne made us an offer we couldn't refuse (as you know Aaron never pays full price for anything!). So our journey began.
We had already found a lot we liked that had been reserved for a Burbank house and land package. But we didn't think much of Burbank. So the lovely Linda sold us the block as was.

Would you like to walk through the home??
The floor plan is perfect for our little family and for the kind of lifestye we live. It's generally open plan but there are areas with privacy away from the rest of the house when you need time-out.
I love it and can't wait to make it a reality. Now come and have a look at our land...

Hi Wendy. Love the house - have you met any of the neighbours yet and when are you thinking you will be moving in??? How will you manage not being within walking distance of Pet Panache?? Do you have any other pets besides your dog?

Hi, I will have to drive to Pet Panache as it is the only place to go for amazing pet treats, great food and spectacular service. Besides Max would never forgive me if he was taken anywhere else!!!
I had a cat called Dru, but as Aaron and Sarah were allergic to her I had to give her up. Fortunately to my former housemate Barb, who originally bought the cat.
