Re: Better Homes Queensland - Canopy's Edge CAIRNS 62Oct 20, 2010 10:43 am dantrs - Thanks for asking. Well I settled on the 4/10/2010 and the removalist arrived with my container the next day. No side fences, no landscaping, nor curatins, etc The last 2 weeks I have slowly been getting things organised, along with visitors and all the things you need to do when moving 2000 kms away. Anyway here are some more pics.

Still waiting on my blinds from iseek, but have all the windows that get sun tinited. Front crim safe doors fro the front are still coming. Enjoying Cairns so far. Had the entire house airconditioning on first 3 days but only use it for sleeping now. Getting some lovely breezes off the Coral Sea that are just lovely. I can't take any more interior shots right now because there's stuff everywhere!! But I will update again soon... Have a few minor issues to resolve with the builder but they are all under control. All standard things to be expected, especially considering I was 2000km away whilst the house was being built.
