Project house: Week 3

Sorry for the photo overload but its the only way I can truly document this build! Plus its really exciting!!!
The picture below shows our front door frame! I just love my front door!!!! I think my family are already fed up of hearing how much I "adore" this door! But its really cool and the "wait for it" - it was free! (Well kinda free)

We now have internal walls with the laundry, kids bathroom & toilet, kids bedrooms and my parents study all done!

Outside view of where the alfresco will be, with a sliding door into the open plan dining room/lounge/kitchen. The middle window is the theatre room and the sliding door on the right is my parents lounge.

Top end of the passage looking at the doorways to the boys rooms.

Passage way down to Maddy's room and the kids bathroom & toilet.

Project house: week 2

WE HAVE WALLS!!!!!

And window frames!!!!!

Things are moving along at a rather rapid rate for now. I won't get too excited but we're really hoping to be in our new home for Christmas 2012! Fingers crossed that things will continue to move along smoothly!

Project house: week 1

I finally have some news on our build progress!
It was December when I last posted about our piece of land where we're going to build our dream home! Since then its been a long 6 months of waiting and red tape but I'm finally happy to announce that the "building" has now begun!
Its so exciting to see some concrete(excuse the pun)evidence of our house instead of little lines on pages and pages of plans. I swear they used a whole tree with the number of plans we've had through our mailbox.

And so, on Thursday, the 28th of June our slab went down. We went down on the weekend and with much excitement we explored the layout of our new house!

Here are the kids standing in their new rooms! Don't you just love the minimalistic decor!

And my mom in her section

Paul and I in the master suite.....

and last but not least a pic taken from the back of our block with Paul standing in the distance at our front entrance!

Exciting stuff!!!!
