The alfresco area..


We also have meter box - showing on the right side


Also tap water, below the meter box



The first stage of the building process was finished, we have a slab!

Preparation for the slab

Preparing the footings

Digging and putting the steel frames

Land scraped

After over a year, the building of the house starting to progress (photos taken on June 12)

Before the cutting of the block

Cutting down of the tree...

Cleaned up and marking

Used the marking spray to see the exact location of bedrooms, garage and see how much was left for the backyard.


3 x 3 meters - looks so tiny





This is the tree that cost us $2300 to be removed because it's part of the master's bedroom.

Growing bush fire hazzard

Our builder hasn't done anything yet, and we received a letter from council to clean up the land or pay a fine of $360!
