And in 5 days THF created......

Hard to believe how quickly things are progressing!!

WE'VE BEEN FRAMED!

Frames for the ground floor are up, so exciting to see it progressing so quickly all within 4 days of building starting. I could see all the room dimensions and the layout. Great to get a feel for it all.

Here's the pics so far

Let's hope to see things move along for end of week....

DRUM ROLL PLEASE......WE HAVE STARTED TO BUILD!!!

After many months of all the preperation, council and earthworks etc....we have started to build. The official start date was 25th Nov.  Here are some pics thus far

We are about 60cm off the ground, as this was to avoid being over height being a 2 story.
They hope to have lock up by Christmas but we will see hey.

Also have chosen some different colours than I had before. I received some info that I could have any sized tile on the wall so I have redone the selection. Previously we were told we could only have 200x200mm on both floor and wall, but they only need to be on the floor. This is due to the movement in a timber framed house.

Here they are
This is the ensuite top level bathroom and powder room.  

 The rose in this border is real too.

And this photo shows the star pattern in the feature black tile, but we are not using the grey tile...we are using the cream as in the first pick

This is the kids bathroom on the ground floor and the laundry tiles also. The large white feature tile also has the same star pattern that the black tile has in the ensuite.

We have work started on my brother's block next door. It is about a week ahead of our start, just thought I would post photos to show how the stumps look.

This is the delivery of materials for work to start on both blocks. Will post pics when mine starts which will hopefully be next week.

More updates.....

The site has had some movement....yay septics completely installed (just need to be plumbed up when house is built) Pictures......and he finally have the first delivery of building stuff YAYAYAY

Building will start on the 20th or so, my brother's lot will be afew days ahead of that. THF plan to do both houses pretty much at once. They hope to have lock up by Christmas, but we will see.



It's wonderful to see some more things happening especially from the builder's angle rather than just stuff we've organised orselves.



Had to ask our realestate to sign us up on a 3 months lease till March so we hope that is all in enough time. Fingers crossed.

Updates...the cut the colours,,,,, No Not a Maurice Mead commercial LOL...

We are thrilled to see more progress on the block. Today we had the cut into the land for our home and workshop. It's about half way done and will continue to be worked on tomorrow. Our earthworks will continue into next week as the septics will also be put in.  We are flattenng the top part of the land to be an even level to adequately have our house, workshop and garge, plus covered alfresco outdoor kitchen. We think the bottom level will be a place for kids to play and vegie gardens etc.

The officail date to start building is the 14th Nov and they hope to have lock up done by Christmas.

Some colours we have picked I have also included for the kitchen and bathrooms. I have attached the design of our kitchen which we had the THF cabinet maker come up with .

All is coming together very nicely, we are happy thus far with the progress.
