Pictoral of the house with the colour selection
The Unveiling.
After 3 loooong weeks we have only been to the house once. We went down just before Easter to find nothing had been done in a week and got so upset we decided to only take the trip down once a fortnight. We went down on Saturday 21st April (surprising, no one was on site). Our SS had advised us the scaffolding should be removed on Fridays as this was holding everyone up. We arrived on site and found our house had been unveiled in all her glory, she stood tall.
Brick, roof and Eaves
31 March 2012
The colorbond roof was completed this week and it looks amazing. We are over the moon with how it looks.
24 March 2012
Roof trusses have finally been installed this week. We think they were delivered late when they were putting the frame up. But they make the box look like a house.
Also the gutters and fascia were completed on the main roof.
17 March 2012
Bricks completed and look fantastic. As soon as the rain cleared up the brickies got stuck in and they were completed quickly.

With rain progress is sloooooooooow.
Scaffolding and we are almost 3/4 done with the bricks. We went down for a sticky beak on Saturday and found not 1 or 2 but 6 brickys working on our house till 3pm. We were pretty stoked with that as they are only supposed to work till 12MD on Saturdays. Here are some update photos...
Bricks, beautiful bricks
05 March 2012
This week was a really bad week as Monday and Tuesday were the only 2 days it didn't rain. We were very surprised as to how much work actually got done..... Top job bricky!

Windows and plumbing
25 February 2012
Windows and plumbing completed this week. Didn't look very different from the street as it was just the windows but I'm sooooo glad I changed a few windows so they are much bigger on the side we will get all the beautiful views from.
Gas, water (mains and tank), upstairs bathrooms all piped up this week. Bricks delivered Friday and the bricky scheduled to start first thing Monday!!

Frame complete
Thursday 16th and Friday 17th February bought new life and new faith...
On Thursday our family welcomed a new baby girl, our niece, into the world, Miss Josephine born at 10:55am :-)
And on our way to meet her, on Friday, we stopped into shell cove to check see what was happening. As we drove over the rise that leads to our street we were passed by a crane and truck. As we drove down the decline we were greeted by this...
Doesn't that look special!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I jumped out of the car. (OK so, the car had almost stopped when I jumped out, I was soooo excited.)
I really was shocked by how emotional I was about finally seeing our house. After years of looking at display homes & 12 months of paperwork to get to this point. Awesome!!!
Overall the size of the house is as we expected. We knew it was going to be smaller than most of the displays we had seen. However I am kicking myself a little that I didn't try make the house wider, when we are restricted by the depth (thanks to the Asset protection zone)
But we don't have oooooooodlles of cash so we have been smart. The best thing is that it will be ours at the end and that makes me verrrrry happy!
Here are some more shots.
