YAY!!! Grats =) I love it when it all comes together =))) So excited for you!

We've had a few frustrations over our kitchen in the past few days, hopefully it will be sorted out soon... The most recent being "you can't have that much overhang, so we either need to cut back your breakfast bar or fill it in with something at your cost to reduce the overhang" - and you couldn't work this out this time last year when we were doing selections?!? To reduce the overhang now would look ridiculous as the rest of the kitchen has been designed around the size of the breakfast bar. Not happy...

We're waiting on second fix carpentry to begin - they were supposed to be onsite Monday but still no sign of them. There are a few fixes need doing that will add delays, so we're very much looking like going over the contracted period - which sucks as we don't have any penalty clauses so there is no reason for the builder to make efforts to come in on time or shortly thereafter.

It will all be worth the wait in the end =)

I missed your last post where you asked about what we are building. DH and I both work from home, so we needed to build something a little bigger to allow for two home offices and a machine room for all the computers. Effectively it turns out to be 4 bed, 3 living and a study. Realistically it is 3 bed, machine room, 2 offices, 1 living and a play room for Alyssa. We've taken great pains to build a sustainable home that should require very little energy to run (apart from all the computers).

We have a blog at http://house.yeoh.info if you're interested.
