Taking shape

We have been concentrating on finishing the inside but still a a bit to do on the outside.

We have to decide on a colour for our front door. The blue board will be painted with sticks of wood on it.

Two helpers

Sophie and Sam help Grando at the block today.

At long last, this week we might see some action. The builder will be back after 6 weeks off with pneumonia. The windows are arriving Friday. Weather wise it looks like being about 18degrees and mainly fine. Everything is crossed for some progress being made!

I have bad taste so please tell me which lights would suit my bed/sitting room upstairs.

I am keen to not have a sterile room and want it to be a romantic retreat.

I have purchased a Laura Ashley white doona cover with a tiny amount of silver on it.

Also a Laura Ashley grey velvet type throw. Carpet will be charcoal. Walls white.

Progress. The roof is on except for the front section. Insulation and flooring being put down today.

Bricking begins

We are not having much brick work mainly render.

I am so in love with these bricks I'm going to see if we can include more.

The house is starting to take shape now.
