I'm totally jealous of your driveway - wish we had one of them!! How awesome will it be to not have to trudge through mud, very civilized!

With start of painting delayed a week, we have begun tiling early, beginning the floors tiles in the wet areas.

Thanks Tamk

Loving the drive already, ...no mud....and were able to back the trailer into our garage for the first time today to unload our tiles. Finally no more big step up to the garage floor.

Thanks Treeseachanger

Yes, things are really progressing quickly at the moment.

More tiling today, plus our alfresco area and the front porch ceilings hung. Fridge alcove plastered up also.

Painting began today...

The first coat of paint being applied today to the wall and ceiling plasterboard throughout.

Quarter strength Dulux Hog Bristle on the ceilings and Half Strength Hog Bristle on the walls.

The colour looks weird in the pics, because of of our windows covered in protective red, yellow and green plastic.

Hi Treeseachanger

It is nice seeing the change. This is our 4th build and it's still just as exciting.

Totally agree, its always exciting to see something you've "created" come together. And those floors look gorgeous
