EDIT - Now a 'work at the local school' mum a few days a week while juggling the job of parenting 3 teenagers! I am a SAHM who does work from home occasionally, dedicated to raising 3 Godly, independent, healthy children. Loving the home building process though it is not without challenges. I have fairly free reign over the creative aspect of the project...just not the financial side!

  2. Hi Kerith :-)
    I absolutely love your blog! Your verse from Joshua is the signature verse of our home :-) We are very blessed by your blog so thank you for generously sharing your experiences in such detail!
    We are also building with EBH in the Hills area - the Waldorf 46. So far so good - things have progressed smoothly and we are looking forward to moving into our new home.
    Just wanted to ask you about your landscaping company. We have had a design done as part of our application to Council but are now looking for a reliable company to execute the design. We have realised nothing beats word of mouth when it comes to selecting a company. Would you recommend Hayward?
    I would love to hear your thoughts :-)
    Thanks heaps in advance Kerith!

  3. Hi Petrina,
    Thanks for your lovely comments. I love that I am helping others out by sharing our journey. I too, learnt a lot from others - it's nice to give back.
    Wow! Waldorf 46, a huge house. Loved the design but couldn't quite get my head around all the bathrooms to clean LOL. Having 2.5 is a stretch now.
    In the interest of full disclosure, Tim from Hayward Landscaping is a friend of ours from church. I would highly recommend him and his staff. I wouldn't say that unless I was genuinely happy. The service has been impeccable - clean, polite, courteous guys to have around every day for months. Not something that is said easily with tradies. I have had other people use them and the same thing has been said so there is no special effort being made for me. Tim strives to have the highest customer satisfaction ratings.
    We had a plan done for council by ecodesign which was utter rubbish - a waste of our $800. Tim is very particular about the design and how it all fits together with levels etc. We have spent a lot more than what we wanted to but in the end our design is beautiful and in keeping with the rest of the house.
    I would give him a call for sure, to get him out for a chat.
    All the very best in the rest of your build.

  4. Thanks Kerith! Thanks heaps! The information and advice is greatly appreciated! I will give Tim a call for sure. I'll keep you posted on how we go.

    As for the bathrooms :-)) I am training the kids to clean their own... just like Mum taught is when were growing up :-)) Less work for me :-))
    Have a lovely day :-)
