Still waiting on council...

We have 'been in' with council for 9 weeks now and it's getting a little ridiculous. I called them last week to be told 'we are dealing with a backlog and should get to you soon'.Pigs might fly.In the meantime, we have now finished off the colour selections and signed off the variation form (upgrades etc) so now we are waiting on council with not much else to do.Also, the pool is starting to move along. Design and plans should be out this week and then submitted to council. Heaven alone knows how long it will take then to approve the DA for the pool.A large dose of patience will be required...
