A house with floors and walls

So week 6 has hit and the upper floor and walls have gone up.  This stage is very exciting as you can see where all the rooms are going to be.  We had mixed feelings about things like the size of some rooms appearing bigger or smaller than what we thought.  Some window openings look huge!

Windows are in, Woodland Grey

A house with a roof coming soon!

Up and Up

On Monday the carpenters started to erect the frame, this was really exciting as the house is starting to come together, I know, not much of a house but it's a start and every little bit that gets done, means we are getting closer to moving in.

Progress...

So it's been a a little while since anything has happened here but we've had a lot of rain and a little action in between.  Things are starting to take shape slowly and the rain has finally eased off.  Can't wait until we have a roof as they say this is the longest process.  

Two weeks ago we had our slab poured and it took over most of our block!  They also installed all the storm water plumbing, 3 days later.

Then last week our frame and windows were delivered.  We are happy with our window colour "Woodland Grey", lets hope it goes well with our brick choice.

Rain, Rain go away....

Our slab was scheduled for tomorrow morning, but mother nature has brought the rain too.  Don't get me wrong, I love rain for all the good it brings, but we have been waiting so so long for the slab to go down and it hasn't rained in ages, not the best timing for us, everything is so mushy on the block!  Never mind, it will happen soon.

This is where we are at so far...

Once the rain clears, and we have a slab, I'll share some more pics.

Plumbing installed during Week 2!

So things seem to be moving along nicely.  This happened last week.  The main plumbing was installed and the frame guideline for the slab started too.  So exciting to see things happening.  I just hope they keep moving and we are in our home before Christmas this year!

Looking towards the front of the house, laundry will be here.

Foam and form work supplies delivered at the same time, ready for slab.

Week 1 - Action!

Well, it's taken a while since choosing our home back in June 2013!  Definitely didn't think things would take this long, but we finally have some action on our block.  The excavation started today and the port-a-loo has been delivered.

The piers are scheduled for tomorrow and we should have a slab by the end of next week!

An Empty Space

Here are some shots I took of our block.  People around us are starting to build and it's getting exciting!

After analysing so many builders, we have selected Clarendon to build our dream home.

Our selections and upgrades are next, oh the upgrades...
