Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 28, 2013 6:45 pm Hi everyone. We are building a 34 square ranch style house we designed ourselves on our acreage. After a long frustrating time til it was all ready to go, its only taken 4 1/2 weeks to get to lock up! Wow, is that super quick? I hope it continues at this speed! It seems that each day we come home to find a whole new thing is complete. One day for the frame, one for the roof, one for plaster! So far its awesome fun and our builder has been great. Re: Our custom build, super quick so far! 3May 29, 2013 8:18 am I can't work out how to post pics here, but I have a blog, forgot to take pics on weekend but its now insulated and plastered. www.nickleglencastle.blogspot.com.au Bricks arrived yesterday and started this morning. I'm hoping the mortar does come out whiteish not grey as I didn't like the bricks with grey but loved them with the light mortar. Funny how much difference it makes. It's started! http://nickleglencastle.blogspot.com.au Re: Our custom build, super quick so far! 4May 29, 2013 9:13 am That is quick, how exciting. Looks like you have a nice piece of land Re: Our custom build, super quick so far! 5May 29, 2013 9:18 am All I can say is WOW!.... & ofcourse congrats
That is truly amazing, you must have one good builder working for you, It's exciting when the house materialises infront of your eyes. Now the fun begins, once the electricians & Plasterers have gone thru, it's all smooth sailing from there. I had a look at your blog, it certainly looks fantastic , once again congratulations! The OP has gone The latch and striker are definitely not aligned but there was no point trying to help the OP understand that. Hence the reason they are no longer with us. 12 5678 1. Roof cleaning and paint - which colour do you recommend? I often see black/ dark grey in use these days but I would prefer… 0 8325 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 |
