Re: The epic home building race - BRICKING AND PLASTERING N 272Jul 20, 2017 6:30 pm She is just so cute... and fell asleep in my arms as we walked around. I think once we got to her room she said that's enough. Hehe. Otherwise tried to show the wife late today her sewing bench... and we've been officially locked out!

Admittedly, since we've been discovered nearby park-goers have been dumping their birthday party rubbish in our tip --> including beer bottles... gah <--, I'm glad they have fully locked the house. There is dangerous and precious equipment in there stored by our awesome tradies. Also important materials we don't want to have replace either!

The house looks great so far, not long until it's finished. What plans do you have for the outside, like gardens etc? Your front has a fair slope on it still, mine is a lot steeper, but I am still working out what to do with it. Are you painting the house inside one colour? We will be using three colours in the house. Cheers Re: The epic home building race - TIME 2 GET 276Jul 21, 2017 3:15 pm Hey Lorri! Thanks we are quietly hoping early September for PCI and/or handover. We have contracted for two colours only though we could get the painter to do more if we pay him direct. At the time we were trying to keep some costs down before we got too complicated. Most of the house will be a basic white.. canvas white. Then the baby and sewing rooms will be a light violet or mauve. I'm not sure of the exact colour now. Otherwise landscaping is a work in progress and not finalised yet. Once I get a draft done, I'll get my landscaper (the wife) to see if it's doable. We have started collecting spare bricks and rocks from a friend's property to use as paths or a sunken seating area. Hope all is well with you!

And if I can get in during the day on my days off, I can have a look around anyway! No updates gotten from SS, but the skirtings are in, doors but not the knobs. Cabinets are in , but not the pantry shelves nor wardrobes. Bath room fixtures not in yet but sitting in our garage. Lots of wiring has gone in. Not waterproofed yet. Hmm I'm thinking painting and some of the listed stuff above to be done, hopefully starting next week? Just want our house already. 😵 It's -3degrees here!

Cost wise it isn't worth it, they can just hop around all the unfenced area and keep out of the gardens lol. What is your soil like? We have clay or clay. Cheers Re: The epic home building race - TIME 2 GET 280Jul 23, 2017 3:29 pm Ah that would be a very interesting problem for you.. and others on acreage. As we are in town, would worry about birds mostly. I think we have clay? Our soil was S class which means semi reactive soils? But otherwise we are near creek and we have lots of granite rocks buried just around our house. The block we are on used to be a community garden so it must be OK for growing!
