Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Hartley - All moved in, now the outside! 174Dec 16, 2012 8:07 am A few pictures, my outdoor fan went up the other day love how it spins with the breeze, a picture of my huge bedroom, just need a couple of small chairs. We have had the alfresco concreted and that came up really nice, we added a step all the way around see as though we are really high up, not sure if it is in the picture I uploaded. We have been working on the side of the house, still need more gravel due to our house height! not sure what the go is there, we are so much higher than everyone else, been a pain with the tin fence, thus my green garden edging we attached to the fence so it doesn't fill with dirt, next is decomposed granite in the yellow colour to match the windows/fence, veggie patches should then stand out. I have also attached wires to the fence to grown star jasmine, this will border each fence panel and then cross over the whole panel, very easy I must say just needs to grow now. The other half and the kids down at the water fishing, surprisingly there are big fish in water but they didn't catch any, now back to designing my yard! Merry Christmast to all!

Nice view from alfresco we are at lock up can I ask you how long After lock up did it take for you to move in! Still have driveway fixtures flooring tiles cabinets to go in and We have Christmas and they will be back mid jan?? Re: Our Hartley - All moved in, now the outside! 176Dec 16, 2012 10:56 am Not sure exactly 2 months it dragged out a bit but others here are built in 3 odd months they are going up so fast but like ours yours is big so it might take a bit longer! We didn't include driveways so currently don't have one might be last as I would rather fencing to keep kids in and kids yard done so they can go outside Re: Our Hartley - All moved in, now the outside! 177Dec 16, 2012 11:10 am Yeah they are going up fast , two months sounds about right. We have a large area of fence to do also, we have a friend that's in the fencing business so that hopefully will go up before we move in I hope so many things to get. Curtains are another big item, I think I might get temporary curtains which I've seen on line they are made out of paper I think but look like roller blinds for now as I don't have enough sheets Re: Our Hartley - All moved in, now the outside! 178Dec 19, 2012 10:37 am Yes I had no sheets either, we had the paper blinds years ago they work well, I just brought some cheap flat sheets from spotlight but someone gave me some blockout fabric you can get seconds from spotlight so I am told, great for kids rooms they stay dark and sleep longer! Bit envious of our neighbors they moved in after us and all the concreting is done beautiful curtains installed and pool in! Maybe I should have built the 30 sq and had some leftover! Re: Our Hartley - All moved in, now the outside! 179Dec 19, 2012 12:14 pm Lol! Yeah think it's gunna take a while for us was hoping to have a pool in next year, I'm wanting to do next Christmas if all goes smoothly throughout the year But I think I'm being a little over enthusiastic the SS said to go get the curtains measured up now I just laughed.. Think that might be something we will look at in the new year. Before hand over would be nice, but I very much doubt it Re: Our Hartley - All moved in, now the outside! 180Jan 05, 2013 8:41 am Hey Mac, now that you have been in the Hartley for weeks now I wanted to see how you are finding the layout and the design of the place?
