I knew roughly how to get to Norris Park and thankfully l found it no problems As to how l found your block, well it was a lot of luck and a bit of common sense. I knew you were on a hill so that made it a bit easier,lol. l drove up towards the newer section, took a guess and chucked a couple of rights and wha-la, there was your street Thank god l didn't have to drive round like an idiot!! Now l was only there for about three seconds as your framer was there...giving me a weird look at that but your site looks awesome and the frame was pretty much all up already ...what struck me the most though was the views you have got!!!...Seriously, your pics don't do them justice...it's stunning, really stunning, you are so so lucky!

YAY to thorney being in Albury!! You did a great job to find us!! You are right about the views, they are really magnificent and our crappy little camera just doesn't take good pics. I might borrow a good camera I think!! We think we will be really happy there.....FOREVER!!! thechlochlo YOU GO JL!!! Looking Magic I must say, it is really speeding along isn't it, Way to Go It certainly is and now it looks like a few more drinks to celebrate the roof truss going on and the garage bricking starting!!! Yep, I went up tonight, without the camera thinking nothing would have happened today and the ROOF trusses were nealy all complete. The garage bricking has really started and we are told that the brickies will finish that by Thursday. Colourbond roof on next week - just can't believe it. After this week thechlochlo you will be speeding along also - just need that slab and it can't be far . Just gotta get this crazy weather out of the way. I am going to try and stay away tomorrow night - so next post should have garage pics!! JL Re: House of JL.....ROOF TRUSSED YAY!!! 237Aug 26, 2009 11:45 am Ok, so your house is roughly (slightly bigger) the same size as ours. Your pics are very effective. How has your weather been, is anything blowing away, last night was quite frightening and I had moved most things under the alfresco but was nervous when the tramp was lifting off the ground ( even with weights holding the legs down). Luckily everything stayed put Re: House of JL.....ROOF TRUSSED YAY!!! 238Aug 27, 2009 4:09 pm Wow JL, awesome looking frames. That's a million dollar shot by the way, I don't think anyone else has managed to get such an awesome shot of their frames i mean it almost looks like an aerial view ! You can see every room etc...fantastic! Re: House of JL.....ROOF TRUSSED YAY!!! 240Sep 01, 2009 8:41 pm mundie mansion Ok, so your house is roughly (slightly bigger) the same size as ours.

That's a million dollar shot by the way, I don't think anyone else has managed to get such an awesome shot of their frames i mean it almost looks like an aerial view ! You can see every room etc...fantastic! True blessedpeople, they are million dollar shots - well at least about $80k (in site works!!) anyway!! thorney How is your house going JL?? Am itching to see some updated pics! C'mon you can't leave us hanging like that!! Arrrr thorney, well I still don't have pics - forgot the camera!! So I will give an update and get pics tomorrow night. We are fully framed, trussed and the garage is completely bricked now. Our window, gutter and fascia have arrived. Our SS tells us gutters, fascias and roof (pending the weather behaving) will happen this week. So, it is all coming together nicely so far which is great. Also, we are rapt with the brick, gutter and fascia/window colours so phewwww......breathe!! Relief. On another positive note, we met our other neighbours tonight, truly lovely people. We just can't wait to live there!!! Pics tomorrow night.....promise!
