Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 30, 2011 8:14 am Hi everyone I've been lurking in this forum for half a year, from when I put a deposit to a land. I've been getting so many useful information that I can't thank this forum enough. To attempt to stop babbling about my excitement about building a house to my friends, I will start babbling here (hope no one minds ).. We are building a small house in Fitzgibbon, QLD, land 264m2 and we are building a two story house. We are both quite busy with our jobs (plus part time uni for me) probably best to have a smaller house for now , I want a townhouse before but can not justify paying for a body corporate and this house isn't much more expensive (well before I keep adding stuff, and ideas from this form lol). Base, Frame, Electrical and Plumbing are done within 6 weeks. We are approaching Enclosing Stage tho the builder have slowed down quite a bit, hopefully no more heavy rain Anyway, some pictures..
