Fence and misc

This is our power pole, which happens to sit just outside the proposed arena (I think I'll have to wait a while for the arena) I am going to have two spot lights put on this pole to enable me to ride in the dark in winter :-).


Our fab builder!!!

Fence post, in the ground.


Ralph's team have started our fence, the entry has been done and all of the corner posts. They are on 1 1/2 weeks leave and will complete the job when they return.


I can't wait for the fence to be built, we'll need to sort out the driveway next.

Floor Plan


This is our floor plan, I have had trouble attaching it to the blog but with some help I have done my best to convert the pdf to a jpeg. I don't know if I'm the best student :-).
It has changed ever so slightly, but not enough to be concerned :-).

We have the best builder!!!

I worked out last week that from the first soil turned (to level the block) until lock up it was approx. 8 1/2 weeks. I think that has to be some kind of a record, and one might think that the quality has suffered but it definitely has not.

I can't believe how easy our builder is to deal with and every dealing with him makes me incredibly happy that I didn't go with a "big" corporate builder.

Fence

Yiippee!! I arrived at the house today to find that Ralph ahs delivered some timber for our fence, I hope he gets started on the fence soon.

Kitchen

The amount of light coming through from the splashback is amazing, it doesn't seem that bright.
Here's our very first dishwasher, a Bosch, our previous model was Andrew :-)

It'll be good when the snazzy oven goes into this space :-). Thank goodness Kim was around when our correct oven was delivered yesterday as on Sunday we were given the wrong oven and Andrew and I had struggled to get it into the house to find we had been given the wrong one :-).

Lovely kitchen, with a floor covered in dust, oh it's going to be amazing to see the polished concrete with the kitchen.

I lllllloooooovvvvvveeeeeee the kitchen so far, we hope our fridge will fit ;-).

The splashback before the kitchen was installed.

The splashback from the outside, stunning.

Pergola and courtyard.


Our back door.


This is the front door, Kim (our builder) tried to find the ugliest temporary door, which I think he achieved with the timber on the side panel but the door itself is no too bad :-).

Looking at pergola, main bed room to the left, the inset section is intended to be a pregola for Andrew and I, I would like to build a day bed in this section of the pergola.
