Long awaited update

Okay, so we haven't updated in a very long time. We've been to the block every few days looking at progress and taking photos, but haven't gotten around to updating this blog, which is very slack, I know.

But anyway. So where are we at?

Well, our slab is down, external and internal walls are up, and the roof frame is now up. We have gutters now, and were HOPING our roof will be fully tiled in a week or so, but the weather is looking atrocious.

One good thing though, is that once the roof IS on, all of the rest of the work is interior, so the weather shouldn't matter.

So here's our house as of two days ago:


I'm not going to post all of the photos, because there's far too many, but for anyone interested, you can see them Here

I really can't wait. I'm getting so excited.

Slabs ahoy!

Guess what we have???

A SLAB!

Pics soon :)

Pre-Start

I thought I'd better update this blog, since there's not much here. Though there will be plenty of updates and photos once building actually commences.

We had our pre-start meeting last week. It went really well. We didn't disagree on any choices, were happy with them all, and all of the power point changes etc ended up a lot cheaper than we expected.

Our plans weren't 100% correct the first time, so they've had to go back to council for approval, but once that happens it's all go!

We're being realistic however, and we know the slab won't go down til at least January/February... but hopefully it's a relatively speedy process after that. I'd like to be in our new home for next Christmas :)

Tile Shopping!

Yesterday we went tile shopping. It only took us a couple of hours, which was pretty good considering another couple in the store were on their third week of tile shopping!

Here's what we chose - although the pics don't make them look as nice as they are.

Our House!

Welcome to our blog!

Hopefully this will be regularly updated with progress and photos and stuff.

We're building a Content Living house - the Sandhurst
