The roof timbers go up!

Slowly but surely it is starting to look like a house with the roof trusses going up. Patio's and verandahs go down too!

Jinx enjoys exploring and chasing after hares and rabbits!!

Merry Christmas!!!

The Frames Go Up!!

Actually starting to look a bit more like a house! Even if we can't see the wood for the trees!

The concrete has arrived!

Well we now have a lot of concrete and a slab ready for the framework!
Looks more like an aircraft carrier than a house but progress indeed!!

Getting ready for the concrete slab!

A really hot Sunday out at Preston Downs. (note Jinx's tongue!) All ready for the concrete slab. I think we need to get a lawn mower!

Our view from the garden

The foundation goes down!

Boxing for the foundations.

Some progress - the boxing is going in for the concrete slab foundations.
Quite strange walking about and visualising the layout of all the rooms. Just hope we have got the dimensions and orientation right!!

This is the new subdivision we and Mum and Dad are building our new home!

And so it begins!

Finally the build of our long awaited house starts!
