Esperance: http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm49/thmatthews/Esperance%202009-12-27/P1000426.jpg Yep I agree, WA has gorgeous skies. Although I have to say so does NZ, I spent 6 months backpacking there a few years ago and the scenery is to die for. Where abouts in NZ are you from? My all time favourite skies are from my home town Darwin though, the colours are really unique. http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss285/shellhow/DarwinSunset.jpghttp://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss285/shellhow/BN9501_8.jpg Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 44Oct 05, 2009 6:22 pm Sheesh Shell!!

Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 57Oct 06, 2009 6:24 pm Thanks for the comments agian everyone I discovered today my books aren't safe from the dog either I'll have to stick with Lord until I think of something else I'm afraid Jodie, Queen of destruction just doesn't have the same ring to it McBecks, the roof tile colour is called "Oyster" from the Austral range. The only thing I'm not too sure about them is there is quite a varyance in colour from tile to tile, however it's starting to grow on me. I originally wanted a darker colour but LWP, (the developer) wouldn't let me. There has been no progress today on the site But I did get my fortnightly update, the plastering should be done this week, and the Doors should go in next week, which means..............

Hand over should be mid December then!!! ________________________________________________________________ Building with HBC Aussie Alfresco Games Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 59Oct 06, 2009 8:25 pm Books??

Re: Tim's House in WA with HBC 60Oct 06, 2009 8:35 pm Jodie, give men the benefit of the doubt! I'm sure most of the guys on here read actual text-only books! Yes, big points for those who have a bookshelf full of books, but I'm sure most own at least a selection! Btw, I read a whole book during the 6 hours I was travelling home today. Now I'm sad that I read books too fast and have nothing new left to read I devour books when I have time, but using a slightly different method to Tim's puppy. My tac-home-ter: Been in 8 months!
