Builder managed to get a nice high shot from the cherry picker. steel is all in and finally taking form. garage brickwork is all done (not sure i explained that we had to knockdown everything as we wanted to widen the garage opening). but the brickies have a done a great job replicating what it looked like before.
less pics in the next 4 weeks as all that's going to happen is the timber framing, then 4 more weeks of brickwork. but at least things are going up!

If you do it is going to look stunning.. Curve ceilings are such a great feature, can't believe time has flown so fast. 16 Feb 2017 43 Junior Member Re: Architecturally Designed Home - Vic 74Oct 16, 2018 2:26 pm going well thank you! the ceiling is taking a while as the curved section is far more complex than anticipated. but overall still tracking well. finished the timber floors, starting plasterboards this week and tracking to finish by end of the year! got a mate to do some drone shots but the overshadow from tree was annoying. will share more once the boards are up 16 Feb 2017 43 Junior Member Re: Architecturally Designed Home - Vic 75Nov 03, 2018 7:48 pm Quick update We've basically finished up the ceilings, which took ages, we had to leave the arched hallway until later so we can do the plasterboarding. plaster boards all done, most of the doors are hung, same with pergola and deck framing: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ oops. missed photos November is going to be full of painting and wet areas with December for all the remaining fit outs. hoping to get handover just before Christmas! very excited 16 Feb 2017 43 Junior Member Re: Architecturally Designed Home - Vic 76Dec 13, 2018 12:46 pm Hi all quick update The house is almost complete! it'll be 99% done by next friday, which is the builder's last day, unfortunately it is probably best if we didn't occupy straight away and give the builder's a week to go through final defects and everything else. So the final handover is going to be 18/1/19!! so excited, the house is looking great. We will get the keys next friday so we can start moving things in so i will do a full walkthrough video then, linked a short video just for now: https://vimeo.com/306099571 4 28120  Hi, For what it’s worth, best getting as many quotes as possible.
