Thanks guys! Yes Bonnie_p, I'm thinking I might have to invest in a second window washing wand to clean them all!
I went out to the house today, but unfortunately…

I much prefer Option 1. I like that the sinks are nice and close to the toilet, and also like you mentioned, it looks more spacious - less busy than…

I'm sure your paint colour will be just right! I found choosing everything to be so difficult. When we wanted a firm building quote we had to choose everything from…

While I'm here I may as well post some updated inside pics before it all starts happening next week.
This is what you see walking in from the back door. It's…

It all looks a bit drab sitting there together like that, but we absolutely love orange, so are planning an orange splashback for the kitchen, and then some bright furnishings…

Ilaeria I really can't remember the name of the tile... It didn't actually have a name on display when we picked it out at Wylie Tiles. The just had the…

Today we went out to look at the ensuite tiles which are now all laid in place. The grout will go in on Monday. I struggled to get good pictures…

Unfortunately we have decided to have the flue going straight up through ceiling - not a wall concealed flue, so there won't be much room on top. This is a…

Fireplace is a must. We only have a small place so we have gone with one of these Morsoe fires: http://international.morsoe.com/morsoe-s10-40 It's currently…

I've just been reading about your build Ilaeria. It's going great by the looks of it! I love your design/plan. I'm getting the impression you or your partner might be…

Thanks Ilaeria! We are very happy so far. I lived in Vic for about 9 years growing up, but I really still feel Tassie will always be home. The only…

Oh I have just loved trawling through your build so far MnT! I feel like we are at similar stages perhaps - our tiling has just started, but we are…

Thanks all. Yes a great view of the strait! We got a phone call early this morning from our builder letting us know the tiler was starting today. The weather…

I live in Tas, so don't really know the costs of building in WA, but as most people probably tell you, building does seem to end up costing more than…

So as of yesterday (May 3rd) the place looks like this:

The garage has been painted - mostly:

The backyard is a mess, but the cement for the porch and hot water…

The 11th of April, the house had been painted all over. The dreaded waste water was a little less conspicuous, but still hideous I can't…

The 27th of March - the day of the waste water tank

Ahhhhh! Right in our picturesque view, our ugly green tank goes in! It…

Less than a week later, by the 27th of March, the painters had moved inside and the timber flooring had been laid. Before we painted I had no idea how…

Around that time (end of March) the builders noticed that there was a rather big leak happening! So this was officially our first 'problem' ( along with the waste water…

By the 23rd of March they had started to paint one external wall, and started cutting in around the windows etc. I was so so worried about the colour. The…

By the 7th of March the house was clad and the plastering had started! Everything happened so quick. My uncle is doing the electrical wiring, so he was in there…

So sorry for the huge break in updates! I guess we have just been enjoying the journey, plus busy with work and life in general. But luckily my photos are…

I couldn't resist going back to our site again today (as I had the day off). One great thing about living in a small town - you know the builders…

On Friday we got most of the roof put on. I'm a bit worried about the colour. In some light it looks a little on the brown side, when I…

Still have to upload the latest house pics, but in the mean time I finally have a basic site plan and floor plan uploaded. The measurements etc have been taken…

Wow! You are so lucky you didn't have to get a BAL rating. We had a hard time getting ours down to a BAL 29! It really restricts the design…

So yesterday (Friday) our house got it's roof. Pictures coming soon!

So it has been a long time since an update. In December the builders aimed at getting our shed finished so after the Christmas and new year period they could…

May as well post some pics now, while I can. Our builders started pouring the slab last week on the 3rd of December. It was an obercast day - they…

Hi Lorri. We should be moving again next week. The slabs have been poured and I'll post some more pics soon. I don't think the edges were insulated... Not really…
