We have drains and plumbing! I'll take any progress at the moment!

Oh crap - yes I hear you on that!!

Wow - so soon! Crossing fingers for you that everything runs smoothly and you do get in for the week before Christmas. What an awesome Christmas pressie that would be…

Not much happened the last two weeks as it has rained so much. Piering had to be re-dug (because the drilled holes had filled with water) and concreted last week.…

Gees - amazing progress in a couple of weeks Katrina! How long do they estimate it will take them to do the inside now the outside is finished?

I feel your pain! Looks like our pad is delayed - no rain for months and then this

We went out to check what had happened over the past few days. A DANGER sign has gone up, and the reason for that is the 5m deep holes for…

That looks awesome!! Gee, they get a wriggle on.

Definitely cheaper You aren't going to be spending much time standing outside staring at it anyway!

Hope it comes together at the end and you like it! Can you spray paint a colourbond roof if you really don't like it?

I think they look great! That said - I don't think we are going to love our bricks either. We went with the best choice of what we had on…

I can't believe how much they've done already The bricks looks great with the roof

Haha! I completely understand that
No, we're on town water - but not town sewerage. I'm not sure if they always do it this way, but…

There's always online shopping!
HSTP is going in tomorrow - at least the main tank. I think they do the bit with the sprinkler system once…

Yes! We're so lucky to have that much land where we are - there are literally no other acreage spots in this area. You're right - traffic can be a…

Woohoooooo! They are going great guns

Yes - complete lunacy! I guess they are used to dealing with small blocks where you'd need retaining, but we didn't want a meter drop right outside out rumpus room…

OMG! It all happened so fast! I can't believe that's all in a couple of weeks - it looks like a house already haha …

Yes, it's a big pad cut! Plantation wanted us to have retaining at the front and the back, which we really didn't want, so we hired a private earthmover to…

Thanks! It's looking rainy this week, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed. We're taking the kids to the display home next weekend to see how they react. That…

Plantation are starting next week! They are going to recompact the pad, put in the piering, set out the frame for the pad and put in the drains/pipes etc next…

Yes, we had the choice but also went colourbond. We went with Mangrove. Glad to see it's super fast - another upside! Brilliant that you love the surfmist now

Gees! It's amazing how fast they did that! Clearly a time saver on tiles haha Looks great!

Woohoooooo!! That's exciting I think it looks great so far!

Oh, that's great to know!! Hope it goes nice and smoothly

Fingers crossed! Ours is a space right outside their bedrooms so hopefully as they have to walk through it they will hang out in it anyway.
Is the next stage…

Amazingly exciting Katrina! Looks like you're making some great progress. Love the shed too. Will show hubby your pics, we will be doing it the other way around and putting…

Thanks, it's beautiful out there. It's in Karana Downs, and it's 1.8 acres - so a nice buffer for the neighbours from the noise of toddlers fighting haha!!

Went out to take some last photos of the pad before they start.
