This blog/website will follow our new house build on the new Banksia Grove Estate, just north of Perth, Western Australia. Only 5 minutes drive from where we bought our first Australian house in the next suburb, Carramar.

Rendered

Both house frontage and internal walls are now rendered, and to date, about 80% of the internal walls have white finishing plaster applied. Looking considerably bigger inside the house, and it has a REALLY good feel to it!

I'll try for some more "daytime" photos this weekend.

We also have a "pre" pre-handover meeting with our site supervisor on Tues 12th October for a walk-round and a chat. Our carpet and floor fitters will also be there doing final measurements ready for fitting. And we have now been asked to supply our ceiling fans, kitchen cupboard handles, and drainage elements - all non-standard items that the builders have agreed to install for us. Cool!

I can almost smell a finish date now!!

Another step closer

Tiles finally arrived on site, about a week earlier than expected I think. They're all on now and just need cementing/bedding.

I'll try to get some more pics this weekend - preferably without the tiler sunbathing on the roof (as he was during a daytime drive-by earlier in the week)!!
