New house photos


As promised, I took some updated house photos on the weekend and realised there may not be alot to look at, any how here they are.... 

The view from the kitchen window - if you look closely you can see two little black dots under the middle tree, otherwise known as our two little girls - eager to explore the creek that runs at our back fence. After exploring the creek, they went sheepishly towards the middle tree, that has the most amazing big hole in the trunk, to check if there was any wildlife residing in there - empty - they reported back......

The garage that Mr Right has been working hard on every weekend for the past month.. Ready for trusses next weekend, and then the roof.....


The view of the kitchen standing in the dining room, the carpenter put together the frame of the box that will be above the freestanding cooker, you can just see it in between the two windows. I decided against a visible rangehood as I didn't want to make a feature of it, instead it will be concealed in this neat little box and covered by an amazing enormous clock that i will start hunting for now....


The view of the back of the house, standing behind the garage on a pretty dark, dreary day...

All the electrical work has now been completed, heating & cooling hopefully being installed mid this week....
I think I have made a decision on the tiles for the bathrooms, as soon as i get can get some sunlight to photograph them in, i'll post them too..

Still havn't decided on the doors, procrastinating really, but the decision needs to be made before plaster, so I need to turn my attention to it, pronto...

Looking for some timber flooring now, decisions, decisions!!
What I want, and what I get may be two different things when it comes to the timber floors, Mr Right and I are still in discussions....
Mr Right found a "timber man" that he has been having a few conversations with and in the end sent me his number and name today for me to have a chat with him.
He spoke to me about price, availability of what i want (difficult to get), and alternatives. He then told me a story of how when he built his house, he put in a cheap kitchen that his wife complained about for 7 years before he finally replaced it with what she wanted. I am not sure this story helped Mr Rights cause. Anyway, still in discussions......

Common sense says let it go........ but my heart just keeps saying, weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Next lots of photos there will be plaster on the walls..
Patience is being tested!

  2. Wow, it's all starting to take shape now! Gorgeous views. What flooring were you thinking of going with? I remember spending ages deliberating over which floorboards we wanted :)
