Now What?

Well in a way this little adventure has come to a bit of a sad demise. The plans are in council; one of the neighbors said to Anita yesterday that they had received the letter from council informing them of a development application. The Architect has been paid; So we are pretty much done with him for now. The plans look brilliant; Anita and I are both very happy with the outcome and think that we will absolutely love the new house. So where is the sad demise part? well early estimates put the build cost at around $100,000 over our original budget. While this comes as no surprise its still sad. But even that is not an insurmountable problem. However there is a very strong possibility that within 6 weeks I wont have a job anymore. My company has finally succumbed to the pressure of the WWFC and is dying a timely death. While this is not a definite at this stage and we are still giving our best effort to trade out of the mess, some things in life are just enevitable. So with out a Job a new house could be a little hard to afford. Yes I know thta there are other jobs in the ocean, But having started a new job recently never looks good on a mortgage application. However being unemployed would give me the time to do some building myself.. Hmmmmmm.

P.S. I am going to see the Glenn Murcut exabition on at the museum at the moment. Murcut will be giving a presentation himself so should be interesting.
