I was getting stuffed around by Hallmark too re timeframes and trying to add more costs without me realusing. While not great for you in stretching out the timeframe, I feel a bit better that my early bad vibes on them had merit.

Well done! I'm about two weeks behind you - my docs went to council for sealing yesterday. Fingers crossed your build starts very soon :)

I've organized the water/sewer connections myself. Sent off an application to QUU and they came back with a cost to do the connection. I paid it and they'll do the connection in the not too distant future. I struggled on the telecommunications/electricity side tho. Was trying to complete the...
