Signs your build is taking over your life



  1. You know the closest display home centre better than the closest shopping centre
  2. Anytime anywhere you see a floor plan, you put it through 'your test'
  3. You can spot the places where your council would object to that floorplan
  4. You inwardly curse the poor progress your own site is making
  5. Your heart skips a beat when you see a flattened block with the lonely portaloo at the front
  6. It hurts to see newly demolished blocks that look flatter/wider than yours
  7. You post updates such as 'piering' to discover your non-forum friends don't know what that is
  8. The threat of a poorly placed electrical socket keeps you tossing and turning
  9. Driving in suburbia is a minefield of fencing, roofing, facebrick and rendering distractions
  10. "Those people who buy a completed house have got it so easy"

Hey Belinda! Long time no see! Yeah framing is starting, and a whole raft of issues. But it's starting to die down now.
