Here’s a few photos of how the house is looking now. 
Dale has finished the paving up the side of the house and Dale has also laid the new lawn down the back yard.  We are also in the process of moving the pizza oven and putting some steps in the back yard betwen the two [...]

Lots to tell you the truth. 
Dale has finished putting up the patio and he has been doing lots in the back yard to get it ready for when I start doing family daycare. 
   
Here are some photos of what it all looks like now.  There are still a few things to do.  We are going [...]

Apologies to everybody for the lack of photos last week. I will try to make up for it this week.It’s been a bit of a hectic week. The boys had a bit of a shocker week last week and were waking approx every 2 hours. I was trying to hold off on feeding them til [...]

The house is going along really well. The roofing timber has been put up and all the stuff that goes around to make the eaves and the ceiling in the garage has been put in. Dale has been driving past each day but I haven’t been up as often. Every time I go up I [...]

The brickie has finished all the walls in the house.  Russell has done a brilliant job.  We couldn’t be happier with how it looks.  A couple of pictures here of the brick work finished.  We really have the highest praise for Russell’s professionalism, work ethic and pride that he took in every bit of the [...]

Well, actually it’s the photos from 10 Jan but we will go with today’s date. 
The brickie has been working very hard.  He has got nearly all of the house internal (round the edge) completed and has drawn out a plan to lay the bricks for bedroom 2, 3 and 4 (which is now the study).  [...]

Well, Dale was very surprised when he drove past the house on Thursday and saw that the brickie was there.  He worked both Thursday and Friday and we now have all the external walls, up to about window height, completed.  On Tuesday he will start on the internal walls. 
 It is very exciting to see all [...]

The house progress has been very exciting.  I keep forgetting to take the camera out with us to get photos though so haven’t updated you all.
After everything was finally delivered the brickie has done a wonderful job.  He has done about 3/4 of the external walls up to window height. 
It has been great to drive [...]

Big news on the house front, we have some walls.  We actually have four window frames and a door frame with bricks around them. 
The bricky actually started on Monday this week.  He would have got more done if all the bits he needed had been delivered or what had been delivered was right.  The window [...]

Monday 26 November we had a meeting with our site manager.  Graeme appeared to be quite helpful and happy with progress so far.  It was good to be able to put a face to a name and know who he is.  I am still reserving judgement on whether he is any good.  He did answer [...]
