We are hoping we have built the perfect house this time after learning what was wrong with the first house.
Most people may find this completely boring but some friends and family who may be interested in checking out our building progress or anyone who is building or thinking about building might find it interesting.ourcastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995570288732444104noreply@blogger.comBlogger22125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989661611827588766.post-82594996056293818072010-10-29T15:50:00.000-07:002010-10-29T15:50:16.622-07:00Tiling is almost complete....Was at the house yesterday and the tiling is almost complete, just the grouting to be done.

The painters finished on Thursday and the tilers are due to start on Tuesday. I am going to meet them at the house on Wednesday. The other half met the SS at the property on thursday and we are still on track for a late nov/early dec handover..............can't wait!!!! The stair rail had also been stained and looked awesome apparently. We chose the colour 'Charcoal" which is a very dark greyish brown from memory. Will go take a look today or tomorrow and take some piccies. And will definately post some this time :(ourcastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995570288732444104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989661611827588766.post-317325586950667022010-10-08T17:27:00.000-07:002010-10-15T18:15:35.449-07:00Painting is half way there!So this weeks update is we have the house painted in first coat inside and a few areas of the facade have been painted also.

Bought this doona cover a few weeks ago for our bed. Was on the display of the new bed I have on layby and I thought it looked great , so I hunted it down. Ended up getting it for half price at Spotlight with a sale and a discount voucher!!!!!!!! And I LOVE it!<br />

Got this Electrolux ergorapido 2 in 1 last week. Again, had been looking at it for a while now as I wanted something I could clean up mess without pulling out the big vaccum cleaner. Came on special at Goddfreys (nearly half price) so I grabbed one. Now looking for a good steam mop, for the new porcelain tiles, any recommendations?????<br />

So it has been slow progress, however, yesterday they were probably 3/4 through the bottom level.<br />

This photo taken on wednesday afternoon after 2 days of bricking...Needless to say I was not impressed with the progress!<br />

The preparation had not even been done because it was so wet, and the last few days has been raining also, so no end in sight at this stage. Looks loke the next sunny day is next Tuesday, so may not be til at least then.ourcastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995570288732444104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989661611827588766.post-19907272652988675262010-06-02T17:26:00.000-07:002010-06-02T17:28:41.315-07:00Went to have a look at things yesterday and they have done the plumbing and the electricians were arriving as I was leaving. They are booked to lay the slab next Tuesday, so fingers crossed for a rain free day.ourcastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995570288732444104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989661611827588766.post-24097105515980293912010-05-30T19:33:00.000-07:002010-05-30T19:43:49.044-07:00Our colour selection.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-dtLoxl1u0uVj2F7-lhxz0I-gA4zrfdy5sMzNLK_Y3x54IBPGlJ58m-61ksaCnP9XH_C8WXYx2Du5-1VgGOJdaTVQ1JfpTGiJjK56iKamMmuTx9YwL_Ttxf9rD8T6m2CzaAv0fOrwbg/s1600/112_0149.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 166px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477257834845987570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-dtLoxl1u0uVj2F7-lhxz0I-gA4zrfdy5sMzNLK_Y3x54IBPGlJ58m-61ksaCnP9XH_C8WXYx2Du5-1VgGOJdaTVQ1JfpTGiJjK56iKamMmuTx9YwL_Ttxf9rD8T6m2CzaAv0fOrwbg/s320/112_0149.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Heres a look at our colour selection. We went for white walls on the interior with grey carpets and tiles, pure white ceasar stone benches to kitchen, laundry and main ensuite. We have used a bluestone feature strip for the ensuite showers and above each ensuite cabinet, under the mirror. To the exterior, we have also gone with shades of grey render, with black window frames and a red front door.</div>ourcastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995570288732444104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989661611827588766.post-59214452479913166932010-05-28T18:17:00.000-07:002010-05-28T22:37:10.955-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnTYlhp-LhPTbgg63_wO-UX6xqfUeqyGb7RAJQr0Hl_1NTo6vYnR1kDUi9_0NweGdgRdqzYkjpRwFz9cfveA8PeV1kLPK3Vzb3yIvP65IMTEed1z22v6sulKRoozl52AyUerjycEpXz9M/s1600/28806_396006192869_627962869_3906702_5312748_n.jpg"></a><br /><div><div><div><div>Ok so this is how it all started.... We purchased the block back in october last year and paid the initial deposit on the house shortly after. It was all a very sudden decision, after looking at new Metricon display homes one weekend, we starting to get the itch for something new again. We were also looking at getting a larger home as we had started to outgrow the one we were in. We built that one with Metricon, back in 05/06 and only had one child then. Now we have two and family staying from interstate frequently.<br />So before we knew it we had bought the block, deposit on the house (not metricon this time), and the old house was on the market!<br />.......So fast forward to now, our house has sold, we are living with family and our house has just started to go ahead this week! YAY!<br />So now I will keep you posted on our progress.....</div></div></div></div>ourcastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10995570288732444104noreply@blogger.com0
