It was exciting to see the cabinetry in ... makes it all so much more real and the finish line that bit closer! Re: Forever home on 5 acres - Cabinets are in :) :) 142Jan 23, 2016 11:43 am Looks amazing Mellianne. Love your cabinets and all that storage . Looking forward to more pics. Our building journey viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77582 Re: Forever home on 5 acres - Cabinets are in :) :) 143Jan 28, 2016 8:59 pm Great progress. Love all your kitchen cupboards, can never have too many. Oh and why didn't I think of a bath in the living room, great idea My build thread: Custom build on 40 acres viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75656 Re: Forever home on 5 acres - Cabinets are in :) :) 144Feb 07, 2016 3:04 pm Thanks OM and MnT. A decent size kitchen was an absolute must. The kitchen in this house is virtually the same size and layout as in our current house but with double the pantry size and overheads. I'm sure I will have no problems filing them! Our shed has finally started going up and should be finished early next week. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We went through Action Sheds and through no fault of theirs (Bluescope machinery issues) we had a delay of nearly 4 weeks with delivery which meant we had to change our plans in January which involved using the shed. To their credit Action Sheds reimbursed us for the delay, which we did not expect, and I would have to say they were great to deal with and I would highly recommend them. We will be up at the block next weekend and looking forward to finally not having to camp out haha. And, fingers crossed,I am hoping we may have some tiles in the house Re: Forever home on 5 acres - Cabinets are in :) :) 145Feb 12, 2016 1:17 pm It's all coming together nicely Mel. Congrats on the shed, unfortunately ours is getting further and further down the list! Can't wait to see some tiling pics! Re: Forever home on 5 acres - Cabinets are in :) :) 146Feb 12, 2016 4:22 pm Will be great to have all that kitchen space, and very exciting that the shed has started. Looking forward to more pics Re: Forever home on 5 acres - Cabinets are in :) :) 147Feb 14, 2016 8:36 pm Nikki I think if a new shed wasn't going to happen then the house wouldn't have either.
The shed is finished and DH, who so far hasn't been too nit picky about the house, was checking the workmanship of the shed very closely.. was quite funny. So some pics from this weekends visit. Shed (aka man cave) completed. We now don't have to set up 'camp' each trip which was starting to get old.

Very happy with them both. I know the tiles wont be everyone's cup of tea but we love them and that they are a little different.

I'm really happy with them too and how the kitchen looks. I was worried they were going to be to dark but after seeing them we are glad we didn't go the lighter grey as I don't think the pattern would have stood out as much. Re: Forever home on 5 acres - PCI Booked 159Mar 10, 2016 12:11 am Our inspection is booked for Friday. Looking forward to seeing it all now it's been cleaned. We are not really expecting any issues as from what we have seen so far. The few issues we raised have been fixed. Lots still to be done tho once we take possession. . It's going to be a slow process ? Re: Forever home on 5 acres - PCI Booked 160Mar 10, 2016 3:27 pm Awesome Mel! I know what you mean about lots to do once you get keys haha.
