Closer Inspection.



We went and had a good look at the slab today. It was very exciting. They had marked out where all of the rooms will be and it was awesome to be able to see it laid out like that. Straight away we thought it felt very small though. Later on that day we went and had a look at the display home again and got warm fuzzy feelings about how great our home is going to be. It felt nice and open and spacious. We then thought, what if the plans for the display home are different from our plans? It wasn't a nice feeling!
We got out the display homes that we'd been given and compared them very closely to our plans.... sure enough, the display home was bigger!! Even though the difference was very slight (our house is 50mm shorter) we still felt like we'd been a little short-changed. It's silly I know, and such a tiny amount, but why do it at all? What if it is an oversight and therefore the bits don't all fit together properly? I know I'm being paranoid, but I just want it to be perfect.
The bill arrived yesterday... base stage and a time interval of 14 days for payment. I hope they don't stop everything until we make the payment. Even though we will be paying by the end of the week, I'd hate to lose the good weather building days we're due to have this week.
