This website reflects our experience as homeowners and is intended to document our build journey factually and objectively. Posts are based on our understanding of events at the time. Where information changes, is corrected, or becomes clearer, we will update the record. Our focus is the build process, progress, delays and the practical impact on our family. It is not intended as personal criticism of individuals.
