Everthing getting better day by day!

We now have a garage door on!  It finishes off the front nicely and we are glad we went for the Dominator Milano in Black wood-grain.  We were thinking of going all fancy pants and getting the smooth finish Milano but they show every single imperfection and that just looks tragic on a brand spanking door.  It would have matched our aluminum front door but as it is still the same horizontal lines and black it looks great anyway.  The plasterers are going good guns and Joe is getting the architraves and skirting ready for when they are done.  The bobcat will be in this week to spread the dirt out and get ready for concreting the back.  Poor Nath succumbed to the virus and went down like a ton of turds about 5 days ago and after all he did to look after me and the girls...that is gratitude for you hahaha.  He is on the mend so will be lucky enough to get back to work soon oh yay!

I met the tiler John today and hopefully will get on his good side to ensure a good tiling job.  One wrong word said could mean crooked tiles or sloppy grout.  So here are a few more pics of the outside and stuff from yesterdays pics.

  1. Cute little girls (have two young girls myself)! Also, I love the pillars/portico in front of the garage - not something I've seen done much over here in oz.

  2. Hi there!

    Thanks for your comments...I think you are the first to comment! We mostly did our build blog for all the family and friends overseas so we don't have to repeat ourselves whenever we speak to them. Plus I think blogs are interesting to read when like yourself, you are also in the process of building. We designed the house with tweaking from an architect and the pillars were also to comply with a covenant as our front door is set far back from the garage door. The things we do to please the subdivision, council, neighbours etc etc. I just had a quick look through your blog and will follow you and have a good read later. Thanks for reading our blog and hope you have an awesome and reasonably stress free build!

    Cheers
