The House – Duplex
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
This is an artists impression on the design of the house we are building. It is based upon a design from duplex.com.au and have made some alterations to suit our needs and requirements.

There are a few subtle changes to the layout and also the exterior. There are windows on the wall facing towards the front of the house in the back bedrooms. Colour scheme will differ slightly. It will be interesting to see the end product

Well, so far so good. The build is progressing nicely, we are just waiting on the drainage to be put in place. Once that is completed the rest of the house can progress. The Builders have already acquired the frame and windows.

The Slab – House Build Continuum

So it begins. The house is starting to take shape. In another 2 weeks time or so, there will be some form of structure taking shape in an upwardly fashion. See the photo’s below.

The Slab has been poured

House Update

Well, everything has been approved and set to go. Sometime this week the old house will be demolished and cleared ready for the builders to lay the slap, sort out the drainage etc and start framing the house. It is alleged that the roof may be on before the christmas shut down period, but I highly think that unlikely. It amazes me how long it takes to build a house here in Oz, not that I am complaining, but, in the UK, they can build a house in a matter of weeks. A complete housing estate could be built in the time it takes them to build one house here in Oz.
Hopefully I may have some fotos of the cleared ground..hopefully. As soon as I get to see the land being cleared, I will post some pictures.
