I have been catching up on your blog the past week. Thank you for writing about your experience. My husband and I have asked for a tender to build a majestic 35. Your info has helped us prepare! Seems like a long road ahead!
December 29, 2014 at 22:48
Hi Laurie,
Glad to be of help! Wisdom admin is painful but the Majestic is a fantastic design. Hopefully I will be blogging about our actual build before too long. Where are you building?
December 30, 2014 at 07:02
Hello
Yes we fell in love with the majestic!! We looked at so many displays and this is the one that stuck out the most.
We are building in Kellyville off memorial avenue.
So far have just received the first tender. We spoke with S.H, is that who you have been speaking with?

Happy New Year Laurie!
Our original tender presenter has left the company which I found out when I called up to speak to him …
(I edited your comment to remove your presenter’s name to preserve their anonymity on the net.)
Next up must be your plans – I was really excited to get ours, it makes it all seem more real. Good luck with your Admin and build. Are you going to write a blog to record your build?
January 4, 2015 at 20:53
Thanks for fixing up my post. Not too sure of all the etiquette!!
I hadn’t really thought of doing a blog. We don’t really have a big budget and most of it will be taken up because our site slopes more than what we were expecting. I am afraid it would be a pretty boring blog!!
January 4, 2015 at 21:03
I’m not too sure of all the etiquette either 🙂 I’m just going by the Homeone Forum which says not to use individuals names. I started my blog as a way of friends and family in the UK being involved. However I have 10 times as many views from Australia. I do enjoy reading blogs and picking up useful information from other people’s experiences. I just picked a theme from WordPress and learn as I go along.
January 6, 2015 at 12:59
I have enjoyed reading your blog and others I have found.
I will have to think of doing one for ourselves. It would be a good way to document and remember the process.
Any news yet when you can start your build??
January 6, 2015 at 16:25
Thank you, it certainly helps map your building journey out.
We just received a load of documents from Wisdom today and they are preparing our draft end panel. They have ordered a site peg out as well so I shall look forward to seeing 4 red pegs in the not too distant future.
