We really are on the final stretch, thank god!!!
Only things left are external painting, internal painting touch ups, shower screens, fly screens, heating and carpets. Hubby is installing the floor…

Osprey from memory. We didn't upgrade as there is so much benchtop it would've cost a bomb!

My kitchen is in! Woohoo so happy with it!!

I LOVE kitchens!!!
Mine has just gone in this week

Lots of exciting progress of late!
Bricks have finished
And so has the plaster. Look at my gorgeous kitchen taking shape!

Not the greatest pic but ours is 4m long with no join

And our bricks have started! About a third done, so happy with them! House has been locked up and the electrician has been too. Come on housey!!!

An old photo but how awesome is my bi fold window?!

Well our windows are in and we have a roof! Unfortunately our bricks are still in the kiln so no bricks for another week.

It's been a little while since I've posted!
Due to non ordering by admin and a supplier issue, our slab sat for 3 weeks (which isn't a bad thing!) hubby has…

In Victoria sorry. We are building pretty much a custom home through Long Island homes.

We are building a 30sq house at the moment. Our contract price with all of our upgrades and site costs is $250k.

Too…

Well our site was cut before Christmas, pegs put out and yesterday our concrete piers were put in. Let's hope it starts motoring along now!

Well someone is back at work because our concrete piers were done yesterday! Whoop whoop!

Oh I completely understand they need holidays! My husband is a builder, however he works through Christmas and new year.
My post wasn't saying that I don't agree that builders…

Oh DomThom that really would be horrible!

That really is beyond a joke Marcia.

Oh Marcia, I think I'd die!

So, where are you stuck at now everyone has closed for the Christmas break?
Our site has been cut for the slab and pegged... Now we wait! So frustrating to just…

Well, we have had a fair few stuff arounds unfortunately and still aren't at site. Our site cut is booked for Tuesday and I'm assured that once we are at…

Contract stage took a VERY long time! We do have a custom house but it still took a long time. They seem very flexible in terms of choosing other things.…

Contracts have finally been signed, deposit paid and a possible site start in 3 weeks!! I'm more than ready for this build to finally start!
We spent yesterday rendering our…

I'm going against the grain and saying I much prefer the first table! I like the style better and I think the wood will break up the darkness a bit.…
