Week 11: Fascia & Gutter

This week was a bit slow as the fascia and gutter went in, no photos as I have been super busy with work and my own business that there have literally been no time between then and now for me to visit the block! Next week the roof should be going on. Yay!

Week 9: Scaffolding and some extra pics

So, this weekend on our visit, we saw that the scaffolding was up and ready for hubby for Monday morning to brick up the second story. Roofing is also booked in for Tuesday after the Easter Long Weekend. Kinda in love with the new place already even though it is no where near finished. This is so exciting and I just cant wait until it is complete!

The Journey of our House Build

So, my husband and I are currently almost nearing the end stages of admin with W homes our house is 29s and also there is an attached granny flat.

Site Start

Basically, I am hoping that the slab will be poured before Christmas and my husband can start the party wall (he's a bricky) and complete before frame work goes on (probably next year).

If anyone is building we would love to hear your experiences!

Will keep this blog updated on how the build is going and will definitely upload some pictures!
