We are quietly beside ourselves with excitement as we wait for something you will never see. Somewhere in Healesville a structural engineer has been working away on the slab design. Remember our over-reacting soil? It needs a special slab. I know it doesn't sound that thrilling but the reason for our excitement is that once we have whatever it is he is engineering in our hands, we can submit our building permit application. It's like finally passing over another hurdle that will lead to a new phase.
There has been a little bit of double-checking of information required etc with the building surveyor, to the point where he has said "just put the application in!". The problem is, we are trying to avoid unnecessary delays by making sure the application is A++ from the outset, whereas Mr Building Surveyor is probably happy for it to be a B application now, and for us to work it up to an A++. (I think this is only of interest to us - if you are reading this, then I am sorry but the whole original point of this bloggy blog was for us to keep a record for ourselves).
Anyway, back to the structural engineer - he told me Friday it should be ready Monday - it's now Tuesday. Waiting.
