Footings

Marked out

Work has begun

One day we signed the plans, the same week we got council approval and a few days later footings for the slab...one week on again and we have frame and roof happening...exciting...

The site is levelled

About the plan

The Plan has changed because it wouldn't fit with the stormwater in the backyard, we had to alter the house so it was easier just to flip the plan, I will post the new one when I can get it off DH who carries it around everywhere with him.

We have dirt, yes lots of red dusty dirt...

It's plain, it's red, it's dusty, it's flat but it's ours.

Here are some pictures of our block, DH wanted to check the levels for cut and fill.


DS is EXCITED


DH checking some levels



The trees in the background are a nature reserve so we will have them to look at.


Back to front of block.

Some Colour Selections

We have made some colour selections and I was hoping for some opinions and thoughts on our choices.

For all tiles areas other than wet areas we have chosen this tile




It’s a 450x450mm full gloss tile very hard to get the colours correct in the picture but is greyish with touches of beige and dark brown in it.

KITCHEN

Splashback Southern Cross Matrix Glass C010 but not this format.


Caesarstone Night Sky for Kitchen Bench


Laminex Peruvian Clay for Kitchen Cupboards Bottom (colour looks a bit different to my sample)


Formica Rock Salt Velour


Kickboard – Peruvian Clay


BATHROOM AND ENSUITE (& Laundry Tiles)


Floor Tile – 300mm x 300mm Bronze Cotto Tile (all wet floor areas)
Wall Tile – 250mm x 400mm Cotto Vertigo Stone
Cabinet – Laminex Peruvian Clay
Benchtops - Laminex Venetian Marble Diamondgloss finish

Venetian Marble


In the Main bathroom shower the Frieze will be two rows vertically together and the same on the lower part of the bathtub. The powder vanity will have one row horizontally. In the ensuite the frieze will be one tile vertically on two sides of the shower tile.

Rough Plan

My first post.....

Well we don't actually own the block of land yet but should by the middle of May. Currently we are staying with a wonderful friend. We think we have chosen the builder and settled on a plan but can't make any firm decision until we own the land. My head is spinning with colours for the house, but will end up being some sort of beige...(just don't tell my sister, she thinks I am so boring).
