Ok, so I wasn't going to have a whole thread to myself but am a little excited now.
We started this journey over 18 months ago (a can of paint and a perfectly good 10 year old house we built). And this was going to be an easy move into something already built adventure but you can never find exactly what you want.
We found a good sized block with a couple of minor challenges;
1) it's a triangle. Now I'm not talked slightly narrowing sides. This goes from 40m to 6m .
b) there's a 2.5m slope diagonally from back to front.
iii) there is a house on it.
So we found someone to help us along the way and design a house to suit the block so that is 1) and b) taken care of and a great big 30 ton excavator took care of iii).
Of course the problem with the above is we had to throw away and pretence of keeping to the budget, or the new budget, or the revised new budget or the ......... You get the idea.
So anyway getting to the details medium sized house 2 storey, split level, underfloor heating etc, etc.
So now I find myself living in someone else's house whilst I wait for an excavator to push some dirt around.
They pretty much have the rafts dug but as it's split level there will be two pours and waiting for the in slab heating.
I'll post facades once I move some pics to my photobucket account. If you are really interested in the plans pm me and I'll send them to you.
