Our home.. The Caraway 175 from JG King

Congratulations on the start and frame it is looking good. Have you checked Wakeboardandy's thread, I think he built the same house as you.

All the best and keep us updated.

hi alexl - good progress so far would love to see a floor plan

love your alterations i am personally a fan of the main bed being close to at least one of the minor beds - maybe i'm paranoid the kitchen looks very functional aswell

It was my wife's idea. We like the idea of having our room closer to the kids..

Congratulations.
Things appear to be coming together nicely. Looking forward to following your progress. .....he seems to love his bathtub! Cutie.

looking good alex... I love your bricks.. we also got the free upgrade thanks to selkirk's problems.. but we certainly didn't complain and loved our new upgraded bricks.

we are loving our caraway at the moment.. especially my boutique theatre room!! lol..

anyway good luck with the rest of the build.. I'll be keeping an eye on this one..

Love your theatre too

There were still heaps of left over bricks left on the site and have informed our SS that we are going to keep them. Thought of using them as the flooring to our shed.

Hi Alex,

I knew it Yeah, neither of the lots are ours. We'll probably start building by the end of the month. The drawing has been sent to the developers, and let's hope it won't take long.

I'll let you know once we start the build. Your house looks great

It is about time to add more pics.. and I am very sorry for the late updates.
Allrite.. this is going to be a long journey as there are heaps of updates tag along this thread..

Hope it won't bored you guys. Probably next week will get more pics..
According to the SS, he will get the painters and renderers in next week Till then..

Hi Richo, where are you building at? Yeah, it took us almost 6 months for the contracts to be ready. The fun part really starts when it is due for color and tiles selection... then the real build kicks in..

From most threads on this forum, JG King normally completes the build within 4 months.. which is marvelous. So sit tight and enjoy the ride.
