Quotations...

Today we received by e-mail the quotations we asked for the windows in the Keller. It costs around 1,400€. We asked for these quotations for comparison.

We also received by post the quotation from E-on, the company incharge for electricity and gas. It also includes the telephone quotation from T-com. All-in-all, it costs around 3,800€

Building Application

Today we received our building application filled-out by the Architect / CAD of Prohaus. We checked if all the informations were correct, including the house plan and then we signed it.

In the afternoon, we sent out the Building Application to the City's Construction Office, as well as the documents intended for the City Engineer's Office. Unfortunately, the person-in-charge for processing the Building Application is on vacation. He will be back after 14-days. That means our paper will be sleeping for 2 weeks... *sigh*

The head of the Engineer's Office is also on vacation, and will be back on the 29th. Whew! All we can do is wait wait wait.

Architectural Drawing

Today before lunch, we sent-out our GO signal that we are done with all the floor plans of our house. The friendly and nice CAD Frau K. of Gussek, confirmed that she will start the Building Application (Bauantrag) on the next day. I hope it will not take too long before we will receive it.

We are looking forward to our overnight stay in Nordhorn, though we are presently having issues about it, due to our two lil boys. It would be perfect if we will just stay in Centerparcs with their grandparents. And then hubby and I will drive to Nordhorn on the day of the Bemusterung.

In the meantime, we are now getting all possible quotations for the heating system, flooring, materials for the bath and WC, wallpaper, doors and many more. We would like to compare the prices of ProHaus and the ones that we will get locally. This is important for us, since we will be working the inside part of the house.

Second Preliminary Draft and Updates

Yesterday, after changing some minor mistakes and adding our new wishes, we received the second preliminary draft of our dreamhouse. Hubby and I were happy about it. We are now working on some minor changes and then hopefully we are done.

This morning, I called Frau K. our CAD from ProHaus/Gussek, who is friendly and nice, and she changed the minor mistakes that we saw and she is now just waiting for our final go.

We are still thinking about changing the Basement floor plan.

We also received a call yesterday from ProHaus to set our Austatungstermin (the date when we are going to visit ProHaus Nordhorn, and choose all the materials for our dream house. For example, the type of roof tiles, the color of our klinker etc). That means shopping!!! We have it at the end of the month. That is not too long from now, so we have a lot of things to accomplish. I still need to get quotations from different companies regarding heating installation, electric installation and plan and many more.

Normally, we will received this invitation after we have signed the Final Draft of our house. But since, the person in charge is already searching for families who would like to set the date, and our final draft will *hopefully* be finished and finalized this week, then it is also good that we will have our date for that.

Lastly, we are working on documents regarding our loan. Hopefully the interest rates will go down down down until we will have our loan approved.
