Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

D_rail · Mar 19, 2015 12:35 am

Coming along nicely Trixee. Interesting to see the fence line so far in from the retaining. We haven't had our fencing done yet but I'm expecting it to be a little closer to the retaining!

Looking fab. Hope they can do something about the sliding door, we had a flush slider on our last house and apart from lots of dirt getting in it was great - no tripping.

It looks much better to be flush mounted as well. IMHO

Woohoo trixee!!! You have brickies!!!!!

And they are getting a lot done by the looks of it...you'll be walking through rooms in no time!

Treeseachanger · Mar 22, 2015 6:44 pm

they are gunning it, Trixee!!!

Well the brickies have been going great guns this week. So much so that Mr. Trixee decided he'd try and do a real-life fly-through of the house using his pet quadcopters (one Parrot and one Hubsan). Unforunately the video didn't work out, but it was great fun trying. However, I did take photos of the flight. So here are some photos of the latest progress, quad-copter style!

It's the battle of the drones! David vs Goliath!

He's getting away! Up and over the library wall.

yvonneh · Mar 23, 2015 5:23 pm

Wow, that is so cool! Shame about the photos but will be better when there are more bricks up anyway

Sheilzy · Mar 23, 2015 5:30 pm

Hubby ended up sneaking in a do-over after work today without telling! So I now have some video! It's pretty shaky though, need to try and stabilize it, will post when I get time.

Ardie, I think I would have a heart attack if that happened! :lol:

Could probably set up a wicked easter egg hunt though!

Whinge time. I'm trying to finalise my plumbing fixtures, and you wouldn't think it would be this hard! Honestly, why can't tapware makers make everything you need? Or you find one thing you like in a range, but the rest of the range is crap. Or you like say 90%, but they've decided that the mixer should be hideous for some reason. Seriously! It shouldn't be this hard! Bah.
