I finally received an email a couple of weeks ago from HOG advising to contact them to book our colour and other appointments. Hooray!

I thought that they had forgotten about us until they advised that they were just waiting for our land registration date before they made contact.

Our booked our appointments a week apart, just so that we don't get too overwhelmed with everything that we had to choose.

Our appointments were confirmed via email and attached to the email as a very helpful brochure as to how the whole option process worked, and what you had to prep for before your appointments. It also showed you which appointments you had on which days (kitchen, plumbing, tiles etc).

Not long to go now. We should make time to do some last minute visits to HOG and DiLorenzo (again!) just to make sure we are satisfied with our options that we have chosen so far.

The countdown begins...
