Ready, set, go!

Off we went to Masterton to further press our requirements and get more answers to our question. I must say that the salesperson has been very pleasant and accommodating throughout. We have requested again that they consider allowing us to have a 900mm stove top and rangehood which this time they said should be possible at least with the stove top which i suppose is the least we want. They were not able to give us the same deal on the air conditioning but still gave a reasonable price.

I spent most of the time trying to amuse our son whilst the hubby went over the details but all in all, we are happier with Masterton's design, quote and service. So we have put down the deposit to continue on with the tender and submission to council.

In case I haven't specified yet, we are going with the Fernleigh design with Vogue facade but for a single garage given that our frontage is only 11.6 metres wide and due to council restrictions. Strangely enough, the Fernleigh appears to be identical to their Villina design but the Villina is more expensive. We have also opted for the alfresco at the back but will probably handle our flooring and alfresco deck ourselves.

So now we are waiting on the tender to be redesigned and a contour survey to be drawn. Will take a few weeks still prior to council submission.
