Plastering

Bricks have been cleaned and plastering done. The plastering went up really quick. Only took them about a day (benefits of a small property). I've been told the joinery (cabinets etc) is going in on the 13th December!

Bricks

Haven't posted for a while as there was a bit of a delay with the bricks. The colour I had chosen (Austral Truffle) was out of stock and I had to choose a different one (Austral pepperwood). They started and then I realised that the motar was natural when I had paid to upgrade to off white. I had them continue to keep with the timeframe and get refunded. They were going to go over it with nawkaw but I was concerned that it might not look that good and I heard it can discolour the bricks.

Roof

The roof is up and they have put the sheets on in preparation for the insulation and brick.

The brickwork will start at the end of this week or early next week. 

It was definitely worth it spending the extra $3000 for the extended ceiling height. The standard is 2.4m. My ceiling height is 2.7m I think this gives the house a bigger feel given its small in size. It's higher than both of my neighbours which is nice. The flat roof tiles were part of a free upgrade for me which I'm really happy about. Gives the house a more modern look.

Frames Update

The windows and glass doors have been delivered today. More of the frame has been put up.

Front view, garage on the left. Master bedroom on the right

Living Room

I can finally see the size of the spare rooms now.

Foundation & Slab

Foundation has finally been laid after being delayed. It was meant to be done by the 31/8/2017.

Slab went down the day after and frames started today!  

Updated House Plans

I know it's been a while since I've done a blog post.

We are finally all ready for take off!

The house plans had to be re-drawn until they were of acceptable council standard. FHOG was applied for, for the 3rd time. Likewise with loans.

Here is the final floor plan.

I was told the slab will go down by the end of next week!

Just a few pics of the land at the moment:
