We are at around the same stage so if you have hopes for May so do we Thank you I'm hoping the wood and the doors and the render all work well together so hard when we havent seen this combination in real life just from colour chips etc... We wont have the doors for another few weeks, but the builder doesnt want to install them until the end to make sure they don't get damaged by the trades coming and going so that will be a final surprise when installed We haven't told many people about the door so looking forward to seeing people's reactions when they see them, it's definetly something you don't see on most houses...

I think by weekend my luxury of walking in and around my house will be gone Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Bricks underway 196Feb 17, 2015 3:49 pm Some more updates, a fair bit going on but not a lot to take photos of but did grab some updated ones: Soffits installed under eaves looking more like a house now, also Kwila above all the windows and garage door openings went up Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The alfresco Kwila is going up I love the attention to detail with the framing of the doors and windows, this will be clad in kwila all around and above doors in alfresco as well as on the external alfresco gable Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Brick work is almost finished the plinths at the front were done just waiting to be core filled they won't be rendered like the house instead they will be clad in sandstone giving a bit of contrast to the front. Almost finished on the outside the garage door will be put on late this week and plaster and lockup next week.
