How It All Began......

Looking back on our previous posts, we realise we haven't explained how our little journey all began....
Once upon a time four people named Glenn, Vicki, Megan and James lived in a lovely house in Selby in the Melbourne hills. Then before they knew it, Megan was about to start high school so it was time to move out of their hilly retreat and down to the big smoke in Berwick....

So we bought a block of land, only to realise we couldn't happily place any of the homes we were looking at on the block. We also realised we just would not get on with the neighbours and their 9 (yep 9) kids! So, we sold the block and started looking at established homes.

As all of you out there would realise, once you have display home envy there is no chance you can settle on an established home. So even though we really did try hard to find something, we still found ourselves looking at building sites on the web. As fate would have it, we found a newly released design in the Rowland 41 from PD and found ourselves making excuses to just go and "have a look" to see what it was like. You know how it goes, you enter the house on display and fall in love. The rest fell into place pretty quickly and within the day we found we had bought a block and signed up.

So what made us choose the Rowland? Unlike most PD homes, the bedrooms (and not just the master) were big, the kids have their upstairs area for when they are older and we have our bedroom downstairs - away from their bickering!!! Also, we felt we wouldn't use an extra lounge room downstairs in addition to the family and theatre rooms. Of course, it also has the extra bathroom and bedrooms upstairs for those wild party nights......
