Re: Our house on the hill - SA 82Sep 24, 2012 9:22 pm Hi Mel, thanks for the name of the website. No I haven't posted a thread. I have no idea on how to put photos up. We are building in Drummonds Cove about 10 minutes north of Geraldton (5 hour drive north of Perth) overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Re: Our house on the hill - SA 84Jan 12, 2013 7:37 pm Hi Mclaren Yes I,ve been so slack and have been meaning to post some more pics and give an update The house is just about finished now, the painters should be finished by the end of next week and the carpets are booked for the following Thursday, so fingers crossed we should be in by the end of the month The builder has been so great! I can,t believe how quickly the house has gone up The pool, pergola and paving were finished on the Saturday before Christmas, which was great as we had everyone over for Christmas lunch and tea.......the builder has been great and said that as the kitchen etc. was finished that we could use it for Christmas We have done a lot of the landscaping already,we laid the instant lawn out the back and spent most of today spreading 60 cubic metres of mulch Now I just have to go and buy the plants ......I,ve done a rough estimate and I think we,ll need at least 500 We,re lucky enough to have a bore,so at least we won,t have to rely on rainwater. I,ll just go and see if I have any luck putting some pics onto photobucket........... Cheers Mel Building on 9 acres Re: Our house on the hill - SA 85Jan 12, 2013 9:11 pm Grrrrrrrrrrrrr........... I,ve just spent a very frustrating hour trying to upload my photos to photobucket Apparently it,s the new photobucket! It won,t let me 'drag and drop' the photos! Could someone please help me with this Cheers Mel Building on 9 acres Re: Our house on the hill - SA 86Jan 13, 2013 11:31 am Well I,ve finally managed to download some pics........
