Had our appointment with Sentinel Alarms earlier this week. Before we went in, I had budgeted about $1000 to $1500 but we ended up spending $2717. We did get a 7" digital Video Recorder with a Camera for the front door which set us back $800. Also the Antenna, extra data point, all the windows protected with sensors and a few other things.
Currently we are still waiting on a call back from Masterton, to let us know if Sydney Water will accept the Sewer Plan that we provided to them. It seems we are always chasing them to find out what is happening otherwise they just take their time chasing things up.

Colour Selections
Arrived at the office at Warrick Farm for our colour selections and was advised by Karina that they don't have a copy of the sewerage plan for CDC and we will be up for an $800 charge if we can't get a copy from the developer. Not a good start!!
We were then greeted by Debra who took us in the office for our colour appointment. I found her to be great. She didn't try to upsell anything which is great when your on a budget. We did upgrade a few things but all up, including the tiles we only had to pay $3698 extra, that's including the credit of $950 that we received as we overbudgeted the kitchen benchtop in our tendor.

Our Journey So Far
It all started in October 2010, when we put down a deposit for a block of land in Sienna Gardens. The land wasn't registered, but we were advised it would register May/June the following year. We put our house on the market and it sold quite quickly(although we did have problems) we moved out and have been in our Rental since January last year.
In April 2011 we paid our $3000 deposit with McDonald Jones homes. We did colour selections with them but were never happy with their Customer Service. In October, we decided we would not proceed with McDonald Jones and paid another $3500 for a tender with Masterton. The house we decided to build was the Cadence. It has everything we need and we loved the plan.
On December 6th our land settled (finally) and that was a very happy day for us. We signed our contracts with Masterton on 13.1.12 (Friday 13th), did our tile appointment not long after and today have finished our Air Conditioner Appointment. Today, also our plans have been logdged to the Certifer. We are going through CDC.
