After months and months of going to display homes and going through designs, we finally decided to go for the Impressions Home builder in October 08 when we saw their PISCES design. Since our land was facing North, it suited our desire to have the master suite in the SouthWest corner of the home. The reason is simple, we wanted the master to be at the back of the house and the idea of having it in the south west corner comes from the indian architectural science - VAASTU SHASTRA. Basically, it is believed that having the master in the southwest will greatly benefit the home owners. This further resulted in months of modifying the design to our liking (or rather close to my requests) :) However, we can't follow every single vaastu advice. Not only would it be difficult, both of us would probably end up at each others throats! ;p
Our sales guy Ronny was really really patient with us :) We modified our design a couple of times. After that we had a few more months of playing the 'waiting' game. It started with the wait for the land titles, then the wait for the builder and then waiting for the council to provide us with the building license and the back to the builder again. Phew! Today is the 27th of August 2009 and we are finally having some 'Hope' that we will receive our building license in the next few days. Our neighbours have started building and we would love to join them asap!
I will get to posting our modified PISCES plan, and the selections we made for our home during pre-start which was held on... believe it or not....the 10th March 09! This is our first home, and I am pretty sure there will be some hiccups. We have already started thinking that maybe we should have done this or added that! I guess we will never be fully satisfied with what we have. it's human nature. :) right?
