Home and Hosed

When i see these pictures it makes me feel like we could move in right now... thats if we are happy with no walls, kitchen, bathroom etc etc. We are so so happy though as the house is almost at 'lock up' stage which means that its just the inside to go :) I say 'just the inside to go' as if it will take no time at all.. we are talking 2 to 3 months here people.

So enjoy these pics as there will be more to come very soon of the interior or as i like to think of it, the heart of the home (i know... cheese ball).

2nd pic is the non garage side and 3rd pic is the backside of the house. Pretty thing isn't it :) This week our electrical stuff will start plus air con. Ooooh.

Speak soon... don't be scared to leave a comment now,  you know you want to :)

Bricking is done... kinda.

Top level is done everyone :) We look like we're really cooking with gas now thanks to our scaffolding. The feature brick will be finished very soon.. we couldn't show you when its only half finished now could we.

Don't you just love our swampy mote around the house :) I am loving the colour that we chose, like i said, you hold your breath until you see it go up. Phew! Once they have finished the feature brick, they will return to clean the bricks :) this will be exciting as we will be able to see them in all their glory, not a muddy mess.

I shall return very soon with a picture of the completed bricks :) chocolatey feature brick included.

Let The Bricking Begin!!!!

Hi everyone. We are a little behind on our blogs but I'm sure you will forgive us. I was struck down with a terrible illness called the flu and we have been ever so busy (blah blah blah). The bricks are being laid and it is looking fabulous. Back when you choose your bricks you have to feel confident with your choice as you wont know what it looks like until this point. We are still holding our breaths as the feature brick is yet to be laid. You can see the lovely chocolatey brown feature bricks hiding in front of the house here. We can't wait to see what it all looks like together. 

They have nearly finished the lower level bricks which means that soon there will be a whole lot of scaffolding surrounding our house, this will be here till the roof is put on :) good times.

We will speak soon i promise.. we are back and raring to blog.

Our Bricks Have Arrived!!!

Now we are getting serious people :) get ready to see this frame become a little more dressed up. We had our bricks delivered and they are raring to go tomorrow. 

The lighter bricks in the lower picture will cover the majority of the house and the chocolate brown ones at the top are for our feature at the front of the house :) We are told that it will take up to two weeks to totally brick the whole house and we can't wait till it is done. Seeing the bricks on the house will be so exciting. Everything is going so quickly.. oh my! All this does is remind me of all the things we are yet to buy for the house.

We will grace you with some photos of our fancy bricked house very soon so keep reading people.

The Beast.. In all its beauty

May we introduce you to the Fernhill.. Our humble abode in all its bare boned glory. Now, finally, you can see the actual size of the house. It is rather exciting when you drive up to check your house out and you can see the whole thing staring down at you... literally staring down as our land slopes up quite a bit. 

If you are lucky we might sneak in tomorrow and snap a few shots of the inside. The builders have a ladder in our 'staircase' at the moment so that they can get their hammer swinging selves up to the second story. You can imagine that while there are no builders around it is quite tempting to take a sneaky climb up said ladder and have a peek around.... yes that was Blakey and i last night. Guilty. Well worth it though as it looks marvelous :)

Thats all for now. I will continue to embarrassingly stare at these photos. Cant wait to take you on a photo tour of the inside :)

Love

Its Finally a House

OMG everybody. Isn't this so very exciting. Finally we can introduce you to our house. Lets call this the shell of the home shall we? That sounds nice. We were told that the bottom story frames would go up on Thursday. As usual we were dying to see what had happened that day, so after finishing work at 9pm, we drove our impatient selves to the lot to find this little gem awaiting our presence :)

We did extremely well in squeezing our extremities through the small hole in our gate as it is locked up now.. but who could possibly sit and stare at it from behind the mesh? Not us, we had to get our tootsies into every 'room' in that house. I will tell you people that this was a beautiful feeling. Walking through the beginning of a house that you know will be the centre of your life for many years to come. I know, i know, grab the tissues or a bucket.

The top picture clearly shows the front of the house. You can see the porch and front windows (this will be our massive home theatre room, much to Blake's excitement.. what word describes a feeling greater than excitement? cause that what he is feeling). The large section at the front is our garage/gym. you can see what i was talking about here with the 3m from floor to ceiling.. woah mamma.

Our lovely site manager has informed us that the 2nd story will go up tomorrow (Monday) which is crazy. When things get rolling they really get rolling.

I will stop rambling on. Bye for now people... we will see you upstairs :)

love

P.s Please comment people. I would love to hear from you :)

We've Been Framed

Hi everybody. I hope you're all well. Things are moving along at a very rapid pace right now which is great. What you are looking at here is the jigsaw puzzle that is our house frame. The frame right at the front there is our back stacker door :) beautiful isn't it.

I must admit that when one looks at this photo it does look like the builders have just dumped the frames and ran but i assure you that they are all in one piece.

So brace yourselves people as when you next view this blog, things will look mighty different and we cannot wait. 

I am hoping to do a blog post on something design/decoration related in the next few days. I picked up a lovely photo frame from an op shop which i am very excited to share with you. I am very proud of my bargain hunting self.

Anyhoo, enough for now. Get ready cause things are about to get heavy.. literally.
