ReplyDeleteWe are building the Crescendo too, our plans are just going to council now and we are building in Pitt Town. We also have a big family and made quite a few changes to the actual plans and made some upgrades - although not as many as I would like to. it will be nice to see your progress and hopefully we are both happy with the end results!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I hope your plans don't take too long in council. Are you going to do a blog. I'd love to see your changes you have made & your progress. Mel
