Sad day for the Noddy's

Well we were hoping to sign our contract with the Allworth before end of month, but got a call yesterday saying that the waterboard has not approved our plans...

Cos we have a sewer running down the left hand side of our fence (in parrallel in next doors property) and the dirty side of our house runs in parrallel with that fence the waterboard are saying its too close..

So our builder has to organise a sewer peg out (which is from the bottom of the sewer piping on a 45 degree angle) to see how close it comes to our house or if its going to hit our slab. If it is too close or hits our slab then they have to send out plans off to the engineers to redesign the slab on that side and add more piers etc...

All this means is a delay of at least 1 month and extra costs to us no doubt for the peg out, engineers, extra slab costs etc...


The dream of moving into our house by Christmas has definately gone out the window now...
