I probably should have started blogging this adventure months ago. I've come to think of it as being our third pregnancy. Hopefully it will take about as long, involve a lot of sleepless nights, be very expensive but we will get something wonderful at the end. We are building a house.
The decision was made in May when the Melbourne rental market started to verge on insanity. The house we were in was lovely, but there was no yard for the children or dog and the neighbours on each side of us, sharing our walls were getting younger and rowdier.
We found our block on the internet. 1344m 2, gently sloping, great location, in the middle of a nice looking street. Unfortunately the aspect wasn't ideal, but it had everything else going for it.

We made a list of must-haves and would-likes and then we started looking for our house on the internet. Following securing the land, we embarked on a mad frenzy of display home inspections. The amount of builders, homes and people looking through them was overwhelming.
We decided to go with Carlisle Homes and build the Atlantique Mk2.
