Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Nat's Build- **KEYS 12.02.10** 221Feb 08, 2010 10:06 am Only took 1 photo at PCI, and that was of the front of the house with the garage door down - but of course I forgot to bring my camera to work Anyways, PCI went well. No major problems. There were a few chips in the plaster that will be repaired, besides that, the ensuite shower pools water a little, so the tiler will be comng in to fix that this week, and the sink in the ensuite leaks a little, so the plumber will be coming back to seal it properly. Other than that, all is good. AND I'm actually begginning to like the look of my house. It may because I can compare it to the bright purple house two houses down from mine, or it may just be that my colours have grown on me. So heres a little preview of the pics I took last time I was there... I have toilets... although someone had peed in the ensuite one and hadnt flushed it AND left the seat up http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww344/natb/House011.jpg My sexy stove is in http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww344/natb/House010.jpg Alfresco is paved (it looks tiny in this picture, but its not really) http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww344/natb/House009.jpg And this is the colour my garage door is - the door was up at the time coz the guys were paving the driveway, so I couldnt take a photo of it http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww344/natb/House012.jpg Building 'The Kingston' (with 'Boston' elevation) through Blueprint Homes in Hocking, Perth **PCI complete 06.02.10** My Thread - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17607 Re: Nat's Build- **KEYS 12.02.10** 222Feb 08, 2010 5:57 pm Well done Nat.

Wii games could almost fill a box too, but I havent packed them yet. And dont even get me started on the Tupperware!! Its going to take me FOREVER to pack all of that! Maybe I missed it in your thread Jodes, but have you been given a date for PCI yet?? Surely it couldnt be too far off!

Sooooo I will post my highly exciting pictures now... Heres my pretty garage door and my paving all completed. (No, my house isnt on a lean, I just suck at taking photos!) http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww344/natb/House013.jpg And heres proof that I did something constructive last night (as you can see by the box at the top in the middle, some of these boxes are second hand, so I've marked my boxes accordingly with yellow sticky dots!) And yes, it took me a long time to disassemble that wine rack! http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww344/natb/House015.jpg Building 'The Kingston' (with 'Boston' elevation) through Blueprint Homes in Hocking, Perth **PCI complete 06.02.10** My Thread - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17607 Re: Nat's Build- **KEYS 12.02.10** 229Feb 10, 2010 4:54 pm Well good luck with the big move considering we may not hear from you for a while.

Seems like only yesterday I was signing the contract to buy the land, now I've got a whole house sitting on it! I'm sure I'll bombard you with pictures when the garden has been done Hels Infact, I'll probably feel the need to show you guys ANYTHING new ...the fence, the letter box, the clothes line...
