Well in June 2007 we had the house being delivered just two weeks after council approval (the factory take a risk and start building it several weeks in advance so it will be ready on council approval).

So we headed for Yass a few nights early and we thought they would have to come past the caravan park, but as they had not appeared by 9 am we thought we would go to the block and wait there. We saw them just arriving. The house comes in three sections, today the first two were being delivered.

Once there they maneuvered onto the block (they had to cut one of the trees on the nature strip out front). They raise the house on hydraulic jacks and then drive the trucks out. The workmen then scamper underneath and place the piers in place, then lower the house. The same is repeated for the second and third section (of course each section has to be perfectly aligned).

Also here you can see the hard cut into the earth and the bank at the front of the house which I have to fix for drainage.

Completed house – now just to get the plumber, sewage, electricity connected.
