The house has reached lock up stage - We went to have a look yesterday and today but couldn't get in as there is now a lock on the front…

Stopped by the house this afternoon to see that the renderer had started so our front pillars are completed. Most of the cornices inside are on except for in the…

Our house now has internal walls and the bricking has been completed. I haven't heard from the SS for over a week now which I thought was strange since we…

Yesterday we spent the afternoon putting some acoustic batts in the wall of the rumpus room and also some speaker wire and drawstring in each of the rooms. As we…

We didn't check the house yesterday and came tonight instead - thought we'd try not to go everyday to build up the progress each time we go. Aircon ducts have…

Hope you're sitting down because here come the updates....
Checked on the house this afternoon and found that the house been wrapped externally with insulation. Now that it's getting enclosed, it…

Hey there,
Sorry about the late reply - haven't been on homeone as often and thought I'd check it today. How did your colour selections go? We were both pretty exhausted…

Went to check out the house again this evening and the doors and windows that we saw in the garage yesterday have now been installed. Surprisingly our front door has…

i reckon probably when we went through yesterday when the roof was on - started to get a better sense of space around the house and how awesome it's going…

I'm pretty sure ours isn't black - it didn't look like it when i was checking them out on sunday. i think the gutter colour is the same as our…

They only took a day to do it which was surprising so I think yours should be done too!

Went to check out the house today and we were surprised to find that the roof had been finished (not sealed yet). Considering the amount of pallets of roof tiles…

Gutter and facia was completed late last week and the roof tiles were delivered so it's all ready to go for this week. Got our first progress report from the…

We checked the place out yesterday and today. There are no HDR shots as I took these on the iPhone 4 because I didn't take the D60 with me to…

We ducked down to National Tiles today to have a look at some floor tiles for the main area. National Tiles are the official supplier to Metricon, Dixon Homes and…

Went out onsite today to check up on the house since the last time we went was on Wednesday and the slab had just been put down. The frame is…

Went over to the site this afternoon after work - It appears that the guy that delivered the frames dumped on the front of the site but also covered half…

A few updates transferred over from our blog to homeone... wish i could just paste html code straight instead of changing it all to phpBB tags. oh well.

Been a few days since the last post and the reason is that we've been staying at my brother's place in Parkinson housesitting. It's a bit further than at the…

Day 8 - Photo is a little bit noisier because it was fairly dark when we got there and I had to turn up the ISO. Turned out alright though.

So Brisbane has pretty much had the wettest day/s in apparently forever just as they are starting to begin works on the site. Pretty crazy eh - it doesn't look…

Day 3 and it's been raining all day. Nothing heavy but just a constant rain. Pretty sure that this will delay progress for getting the slab down. The forecast is…

hey there, thanks - i read through your thread today and it sounds like it's a relief now that your site has been cut and started. we can keep each…

Day -1
I arrived at work this morning to a pleasant email and text message from our awesome neighbours Jazz and Brett. It was a picture of the site being cut…
