Hopefully from here on in, the process to building our little oasis in Eynesbury will happen smoothly. We're really looking forward to living there! We have met our lovely neighbours, and (via a mutual friend) another family who's land is settling in Sept. Every time we drive out (yes, to admire our empty block!), we congratulate each other on our decision to move to Eynesbury. It's so peaceful and beautiful, we can't wait to live there! Look forward to posting more positive updates, but here's the (kind of disappointing) story so far...

01/03/10 Greybox finally responds to our repeated phone calls and emails re: next steps. Says:
...waiting on Joe to confirm everything and get your plans ready to send out, at that point it is then passed onto me and I will then send them out to the suppliers and trades. Your file will be passed onto the supervisor on Wednesday... when I do find out I will pass on their details to you.
