well........

Since writing this initial post, we sat down with some friends and discussed doing a duplex.

We have now bought a block of land YAY!!! - so we are trying to find an architect to do our plans etc etc..... meeting with the mortgage broker this afternoon actually.

We get along really well with the people we are building with, their baby is 3 weeks older than ours, its close to schools, shops, my mum - and not too far from the city (so granted much further than we are now but not way out).

We are creating a little "village" - we are already planning our weekly joint trips to the markets, meat wholesaler etc.... hubby is most excited about ethernetting the whole buidling

Its all very exciting! Hopefully we can keep the building within our budget or it will be concrete floor and no turf LOL!
