Are you capping the top of the stone walls near the stairs to the grass? The backyard is kid and dog heaven! All looks amazing, you'll be loving this current lockdown in your fabulous abode! Great job! what do you mean by capping it? its our neighbours so I'm not sure what we're allowed to do. yes our poor pooch can't wait to get up on the grass - the poor thing has been so patient basically living in a giant apartment until we get a side gate and the grass is ready for him! hopefully soon (my husband is being super pedantic about the grass its his pride and joy!). thanks so much lovely its so nice finally feeling settled in - this year's lockdowns have certainly been much easier to handle being in the new home! if you look at your second pool pic, there are two steps up to the grass to the left of the pool. Are you capping the retaining wall? Doggies are incredibly resilient though, as long as they are with their tribe, they're happy! Really looking forward to your garden lighting! Ah yes I see what you mean now I thought you mean our neighbour's shed wall! Yes this has been capped, sorry that was an old photo I put up - its the final thing we need to do now is select a render colour for the retaining wall (and get a BBQ built in that empty spot!) and then we're nearly at the finish line!

And what size is your pool? Thanks so much for sharing. Hi sorry I just updated the post as I realised I didn't include in the trades/suppliers we used for the pool. We went with Narellan - Jason from the South East Franchise - they have a good selection and are well priced if you are open to a fibre glass pool. we got the 4.2m x 8m long pool which is MORE than sufficient in size. I also updated to include in who we used for fencing and our landscaper supplied pavers and did pavers and coping for around the pool. Thanks for your kind words We can't wait for summer! Re: Thomas Archer Hue 42 Bayside Build - 2020/21 180Jul 26, 2021 9:50 am aang Your home is a dream!! Absolutely beautiful and thanks for sharing yr pics! Makes me so impatient to get started on my build which is like taking forever...its been 2 months and we're still waiting on the first set of drawings. Can i please ask if you had to provision a lot more from the standard for electrical? I've in my mind all these feature lighting i would like to have but every time i mention a new light position, all the hubby sees is $$ . We provisioned a bit - just remember anything upstairs can always be done post handover as the electricians will be able to access the manhole we just had to make sure we nailed it for downstairs. In terms of feature lighting, we did - Dining Room Pendants, 3 x wall lights in hallway, pin drop light in powder room downstairs, feature pendant in formal lounge, track light above kitchen island, pendants for master bedroom, pin drop light for master ensuite, pendant for above stair well, track lights in WIR and Wine Room and LED lights in Wine Room. Talk to the stylist during your styling appointment as they can always give you some handy tips also as to where to get provisions - Aimee was super helpful with us at doing this. Feature lights are a must in my opinion and will turn your home from a volume build to a thing of character so don't listen to your husband! In the scheme of budgets its not significant unless you get every feature light imported in from Europe or handblown locally! In saying that our electrician was good at reining me in as I wanted even more LED strips, pendants in all the kids bedrooms etc. Totally unnecessary in hindsight but I was a little excited! We're also going to do feature lighting in the courtyard area and in the front of the house which you will need to get provisioned also if its something you're considering. Good luck with it all so exciting! xx We spent close to 2 years in a process with TA.
