Outside

And here are a few pics of the outside.

We have started the final roofing above the garage door and will install the actual door shortly. We have also got a front door and back door (photos to come soon) so we will actually be at lock up! finally! we are currently in the process of getting quotes for the gyprock, ducted vacuuming and timber floors.

The render on the house is not the final colour. It still needs to be painted. We are thinking a darker colour at this stage.

Inside

Well, its been a while since I posted but bub has kept me rather busy lately. Lots has been going on at the house, mostly the internals. We have fitted out the bathrooms and most of the plumbing and about half of the wiring has been done. We have also filled in the front section of the house so it is flatter now.

RENDER DONE

The render is now finished - yay! this is not the final colour. we need to paint it but will wait for a while before doing so as there may be cracks we need to fill as the house settles.

The first pic shows the garage and media room above it. the second pic shows the entrance and the fourth bed and formal lounge to the left.

The third pic is taken from near the creek line and shows the back & side of the house.

The final photo is of the back of the house and shows our bedroom and balcony plus the downtairs dining and alfresco area.

RENDER

The renderers have started, despite the horrid rain, so here are a few pics of what they have done so far.



There is also a pic of the house with the roof on from across the creek.

ROOF ON

YAY! we have our roof on! the render is next

GUTTERS!

here we have gutters and eaves....i will have some pics shortly of the roof.

the renderer is coming next wednesday to render over the hideous orange bricks.

here is our bedroom....

and the balcony.....





the entrance....
and the roof.

and these are pics of the culvert which the creek flows out of.

you can also see the back of the house and our balcony off the master bedroom

BRICKS DONE...

SO finally....the bricks are done!!
the dark bricks will remain as they are (although cleaned) and the orange "common" bricks will be rendered a mocha colour.

the first pic shows the front of the house, then you can see across from the creek.

Bricks and babies

Here is Daddy with Imogen on the block :)

Next is a pick of the "media room" which is the room above the garage.

And finally, we have lift off with the face bricks. We had major dramas with the bricks we had orginally chosen (they were bowed!!) and so had to chose another brick. So we "upgraded" to the Bowral Getrudis Brown brick.

Here is the start of the brick work - they hope to have the whole house done by the end of next week (weather permitting).

A few more pics of the brickies handy work. So they have now completed the bottom section of the wall down the right hand side of the house (as you face the front of the house from the drive).

The first picture shows the back of the house, the next two the side of the house.

They have said that they should be finished everything in around 10 working days so lets hope that the rain holds off or at least stays light.

We have also got a number of quotes from renderers who will start as soon as the brickies are done. Then the roofer will be ready to go and we should be almost at lock up.....but i am not holding my breath!!
