Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 21, 2011 6:52 pm Righto
After a lot of procastination I feel the time is right to finally get the thread going. Well seeing as the walls are up, I figure I'm a little behind! I've already posted the plans on the Aubin Gardens thread come meet your neighbours, but I will post them again here, along with some pics of the progress thus far. I'm not really sure what else to add but I'm sure as people comment and ask questions I will endevour to fill in the blanks! Oh yeah before I post anything .... I have to give a huge shout out to two people on this forum for giving me some great ideas that have given us an amazing base to build our house. You know who you are! and if you don't look at the plans. Well here we go! Hopefully what we have attached here is the original sales plan and the elevation!
