SITE VISIT 24/11/2007

The builders have added to the site since our last visit and have set up the site for the slab. As you can see, they have placed the waffle pods, wooden frame and iron rod thingy's and pretty much have created the foundations of our home! The next step will be the builders actually pouring the concrete!! So hopefully the next time we visit we will have an actual concrete floor!

ABOVE: This first photograph is taken from the front left hand side of the block. The area of the house closest to the photo is/will be our 2 car garage!!!

ABOVE: This photograph is also taken from the front left hand side. The garage is at the bottom left side of the image and if you look towards the middle right hand side of the photo, you can kind of see the front door entrance. Where you can see the trench, is where our front porch/deck will be.

This shot is taken from the back left hand side of the house and gives a view of the entire house from the rear.

This photo is taken from the back right hand side of the house. If you look at the middle/left hand side of this shot, you will see an opening and trench. This is where our grand outdoor room will be. Hopefully, we will someday have the cash to get it all decked . . .

This photo is from the rear right hand side of the house.

Here I am standing (awkwardly) in part of our soon to be grand outdoor room. Fingers crossed that it won't always be a dirt floor!! : )




This shot is taken from right in front of the garage area and shows the area where we will soon find bedroom 2, laundry room, leisure room, bathroom & separate toilet and bedroom 3. If you've noticed the white pipes sticking up in the air, these are the provisions for the drains for all the things like, toilets, showers, sinks, kitchen/dishwasher etc.

This shot is again taken from the garage side of the house. If you look at the immediate foreground, you will notice a wooden frame. This marks out where the firebox will go for the gas fire which will go into the room next to it, the sitting room.




This shot again looks across the front of the house, showing the sitting room area, the front door/portico area and on the far side you can see the master bedroom!

This shot shows the trench that has been dug for our portico area at the front of the house. in the background you can see Lou's car. and the entrance to the site. We are more than likely going to change the entrance from there to somewhere more central (yet to be decided upon). If any of you are in any way talented with driveways/landscaping, please let us know!!

This is a side shot of bedroom 2.

You may think that there are a lot of similar shots, but we want to make sure that we capture all aspects of the creation of our first home, our dream home!

P.S. If anyone can build me a swimming pool, (at a mate's rate price), please let me know!!! : )

Love,

Lou & Linc
