Hello! How are you today? I have more house progress photos today. The posts will slow up now until after New Year as everyone takes a break. But I know it will be full steam ahead when all the tradies return around 14th January. Before I know it, I'll be packing to move in! Yippee! …
Hello! How are you all today? I've been hanging around my block the last few days. I've had some decisions to make... This week you can see we have more of the front of the roof on. The verandah has been sheeted today too. I did the electrical walk-through and I think I got it all!! So …
It's been a busy week at the block. The roof battens are all on and done and they've started sheeting it! I am loving it sick. Look at my verandah on the front! There's also some photos of the back doors... The sarking has gone on all around the house too ready for the weatherboard …
Isn't she looking pretty?? I am in love (with timber frames and windows!). Doesn't take much to please me when it comes to this new house. Excited. We have a verandah running across the front and a triple car garage. Husband is in heaven! He's been wandering around in it already. High ceilings, lots of …
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 ... Howdy shoppers! Here are some more goodies for you this week. I'm not sure I could use number 2 successfully! Looks pretty though (and expensive!). Number 3 is a winner notepad (I have one). PLUS, I love number …
There were crickets at my block last week (giving that slab some time to rest!), but now it's all systems go! Look out! I squealed and squealed. Now we can really SEE the house coming along. We can visualise rooms and spaces. I can feel the flow of the house. The kids have picked their …
It's all happening people! The slab is DOWN.... I've been stalking the block and taking lots of photos. Here it is, the plumbing is in and it's boxed up and ready for the concrete. We got to the block at about 8.15am to see it all happening. I knew if we weren't early the boys would …
Yesterday I had to make some decisions about the front door. I'm ridiculously symmetrical and I had to have 2 glass sidelights either side of my door. My poor draftsman had to shuffle everything around to make this happen when I started drawing up my plans. It was a must for me. (As the house builds you'll see more …
I've been starting to think about the TV/Media/Rumpus room in the new house. I am having a living/dining area, but I am trying to decide how to layout the other tv room. In this house we are only have 2 lounge rooms. In our last house we had living, formal and rumpus. I always hated …
You know how I said yesterday they were starting today? Well they jumped ahead of me and I heard a rumour yesterday morning there was some activity at my block, so of course I jumped in the car to stalk the neighbourhood. I didn't have time to pack a picnic lunch! I squealed when I saw the excavator …
I think I'll do a Wednesday house update from now on. Seems like a good day to do it? Ok, where are we? This week is THE week (apparently) where the plans are coming OUT of council... which means we can get some dirt turning on the block. Fingers crossed! So what have I been …
I brought home some tile samples last week and thought I had decided on huge white wall tile, and big grey floor tiles. But as the days have gone on, I'm thinking of other options... I'm definitely doing the white wall tiles, and white bathroom vanities, with some sort of white feature tile under the mirrors (above …
