Our block today! (only H1ers can understand the excitement of this picture!!) Yes, it is very flat and we are the first in the new stage to start (guess this means we live with everyone else's dust for 2 years...oh well...)!

We are building at 25ish square single storey house in Canberra.

External colours:
Bricks - PGH Sorbetto
Roof - Boral Gunmetal
Portico - rendered Taubmans Stormy Purple
Gutters etc - Woodland Grey

Still working on the internals but going with a grey theme...

Looking forward to sharing our journey!

Congratulations

It's the strangest thing getting excited over some dirt movement but as you said it's only H1er's who can understand this excitement

Yay! Another Canberrite with Sorbetto bricks! We're using Deep Ocean colourbond for the roof and windspray for the garage and downpipes.
We're going with grey- blue for internals, so I'll be interested to see your other choices. Is that the new stage of Forde? We're building at MacGregor, and just ahead of you- almost framed!

Hi Cleoj - you're house is looking great! Good taste in bricks :lol:

There is a house in Forde (on Amy Ackman) that is Sorbetto with Deep Ocean - looks fantastic!

Ooops, sorry Thorney!

But just think of the views you will have!

We now have a 'limed block' - the house has been set out! can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!! I think I need to limit my visits though, I'll be so disappointed on the days that nothing happens
