Site start - woo hoo

10/6/10 - Electricals started



9/6/10 - Port-a-loo on site. Set out done.



8/6/10 - Site scrape

Getting site prepared

5/6/10 - Clearing site on a cold, wet day - 3 trailer loads and 1 skip = moving around 9 tonnes of bricks. Through heavy rain and not much sun we got it done.




Getting closer ....

2/6/10 - Building permit issued - yay!

27/5/10 - Dispensation through!

This is how it happened...

20/12/09 After visiting lots of display centres, we decided to go with the Henley Soho Q2. This was the best fit for the block. Paid deposit to secure 2009 prices.

21/1/10 Colour selection appointment (exciting, time consuming, confusing, hard!). We have gone with 'beachy' external colours to suit the area we live in. Originally looked at darker colours but they didn't work as well.



Kitchen colours:

Bathroom colours:

Goodbye old house....




We demolished our existing 10 square home of 20 years. Sad to see it go but we had far outgrown it.
