Sh*t just got real. Time to seriously start planning our move. Its been hard up until this point as we didn’t have a confirmed date, now we do, its time to go. There’s certainly lots to organise, like getting out of our rental, hiring a moving truck, packing things up, updating addresses everywhere (there’s a lot) and setting up mail redirects for a good 12 months. Oh yeah, there’s also the small issue of a mailbox, TV antenna, clothesline etc. I’ve just called Plush to arrange the delivery of our new sectional lounge suite. That’s now scheduled for next Monday, the same day our FTTP NBN is due to be installed. I’ll spend all day on site to make sure I’m there to receive the goods. We started this journey over 2 years ago, had a long wait for land, but its finally happening.

I love the facade. The time lapse and drone footage look amazing. Shouldn't have shown the OH, he is going to order one. I could buy a nice new dining table for the same $.

If you don't mind may I ask where did you get them from and for how much and what are they called? Thanks in advance So the curtains are from Lovelight, the same company that Metricon use for the rest of our blinds. This window is unique, in that the planned double blinds didn't fit, so we had a few alternatives to choose from. These were definitely the best option, but the eyelets are also the most expensive. You're talking $1k+ just for that small amount of material, kind of insane, but we needed to finish it off properly, so in the scheme of things, not that bad. Seriously happy with the result.

Was fully expecting it to be cut short due to the batteries running flat, but amazingly.. I got it, the whole build from site cut to finish. So, very very happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LittDP9hqhM Great time lapse! What camera & batteries did you use?

I posted about the camera details here.. http://techau.com.au/build-hack-i-used- ... use-build/ in terms of batteries, they were basically the best energizers you can buy, not cheap, but very worth the investment.
