More bricks..
More bricks have been delivered last week as we where about 1000 short. Hoping to see it finally completed this week. The balcony is coming along really nicely.
The brickwork has been completed and it looks better than we imagined. Its so nice and big...perfect for relaxing on breazy summer nights while the kids are asleep ;)
We went past the display homes again today and we confirmed that our design is exactly what we wanted. Its hard to build something you have never seen and hope to have made the right choices but we confirmed it today. Its not too big and not small. We never wanted a house that we would have to spend too much time cleaning... its just perfect in size and we still 3 lounge rooms study and 4 bedrooms...more than enough!!
We have been trying to get ideas on lounges but its so hard unless you actually see the space and imagine where everything will be. Considering it takes 3 months to order most leather lounges, it looks like we might be sitting on the floor for a while. Oh well.. its all good. Just wish we could move in tomorrow!!
We have great plans for the landscaping too... cant wait to plant some veggies and get the birds and guinea pigs, rabbits and maybe chooks ( if hubby lets me) all settled in.
Anyhow here is a progress pick. The balcony will be bagged...thats why there is a different coloured brick..

Weve been framed
Drove past on Monday to see our first floor frame up... our windows and doors have been delivered aswell. Nothing else since Monday but hoping to see more progress soon. We did a walk through to see how everything feels and looks and we where pleased. Im glad I decided on the double doors in the study and we have a lovely big window in there. The lounge dining and alfresco is a nice size too. Heres to seeing more.

Slab Photos
So our frames are getting delivered on Monday....hip hip hooray.
We went past the house today and had a closer look at the slab and imagined where everything would be.
Its funny how when you are out the front of the house you think that the slab is tiny..but once you take a closer look its huge!!
Our slab sits really high too...due to the class of soil we had to get a H class slab??
I cant believe how much grass we will have. Our previous backyard was just concrete so the kids have never played in our backyard.
Anyway enough of me here are some pictures:
