Tit for Tat!!

Strange things have been turning up around the house. Apparently they have to do with home decoration. Apparently useful.............colourful!!
So this has sparked me into my frenzy of retail therapy. I think my first purchase for the new house is ergonomic, colourful and useful. My new stubby holder!!
Oh.............. apparently there is a concrete slab on the block!!!

Day 12

Sorry about the quality of the photos. They have put in the shitter ( what is wrong with the trees in the park!!), poured the 5 concrete piers at the rear of the slab, connected the electricity, water, recycled water and have dug the trenches for the strip footings for the verandah area.

Cage fighting anyone?

Day 5 - Sticks & Stuff

Not much going on....... Just a few sticks to mark out the slab, and the electricity pit has been connected. Next should be the plumbing and the prep for the slab. It has been raining for a change!!

Floor Plan

After being dragged around to never ending points of Melbourne to look at display homes, we chose the above plan. For myself, it had an undecover area to put the BBQ.................SOLD. I am male and apparently colour blind, so I will not attemt to talk about colours and stuff like that. I tried for a black and white facade, but it did not go down well.
