I'm back...again! I had (another) break when the land we were looking at sold, but we are back on again now...land contract signed this week, and finance approved, so now we wait for settlement! We requested a long(ish) settlement to give us time to save some extra money - we weren't planning on buying land until later this year/early next year, so we need every penny we can get! We purchased 6.64 acres of land with river and surrounding hill views, the top does have a reasonably level area for house/shed/pool. We still aren't really looking at building until mid next year, but I did get a rough plan drawn today...haven't shown DH yet, as he's at work, but we'll see what he thinks! Photos to come.... 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 151Aug 26, 2016 9:21 pm View from house site: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ You can see the river slightly in the photos.

Went back out to the block with mum yesterday, and we are reconsidering the location/direction of the house. I think we will have to get it slashed once it's settled, and the go back out with the builder to see what we're really looking at - the grass is a bit long in some areas. 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 153Aug 29, 2016 10:21 pm Yay you're back!! Your block is amazing!! Just gorgeous!! I love the floor plan, men always want bigger but remind him who has to clean Can't wait to see more photos, I'm sure what ever direction you decide you will have gorgeous views all round GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 154Aug 31, 2016 2:08 pm Love the location of your land! Your proposed houseplan looks nice too.

Just finished reading through the thread, looks like it's gonna be an exciting build! Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 156Jan 24, 2017 7:58 pm Lovely block! Which way is north? And are you still in Gympie QLD? It doesn't get very cold there does it? Would be lovely to have one of your lounge areas on the view side, so you could sit inside in the air con on the stinking hot days and still see the view. Not sure how that works with your plan though! Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 157Jan 30, 2017 9:39 pm Hi everyone! Sorry, not much happening on the house front - most of our (read: my) effort had gone into holiday planning but that's all done with now! No NYC this year, just a quick week-long trip to Bali for a friend's wedding. The last week has brought a little bit of progress on the house front - we finally have a legit prelim plan. Well, DH hasn't seen it yet (he saw the pre-prelim plans before these got drawn up!), he gets home from work tomorrow, so he'll see it then. I'm not loving the elevation, I think I'll like it once it's drawn correctly (with the cladding going the whole way to the roof), but I still am not sure if it's 100% what I want - though that may not be possible with our plan. Anyway...I'll post the plans in the following post! 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 158Jan 30, 2017 9:40 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Still lots of changes to be made, they were only drafted so we could get an idea of the roofline...so these are still very early plans! 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: Stellabella's second build...Aaaand I'm back again! 160Jul 15, 2017 9:47 pm Ok...I'm back again - kind of! I was a bit unsure of the plan because I didn't love the laundry being internal - so we've redrawn it again. I've already got a list of minor changes (doors, windows, etc), so once they are done it'll go back to the draftsman again. I also want him to relook at the roofline again, there's a house in town with a roofline I love (I won't post pics for privacy), and I'd like him to try and get ours to something similar. That's all I have to update for now! Will try and post pics but I'm on my phone. 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37150 Hi, We have a single story MacDonald Jones house, on a waffle pod slab with steel frame.
