Friday and Saturday...

Friday was the day it really sunk in.....we are building a house!

The block was a hive of industry..... we had builders working on the roof.... plumbers running pipes...a trench digger digging trenches.... the septic was in the ground.... outside taps on risers installed..... Ians Dad...my Dad...Mitch and Ian (and Brent) all working on the shed.... and decisions needed to be made.
Where was the tank to go?.... what size?...what colour?...where was the rain water pump to go?...where did I want the outdoor taps?....how many did I want?... eeeeekkk....so many things I hadn't given any thought to....
SO heres the progress in pictures.... the view this morning of the front of the house.... all the trenches are yet to be filled.....as the plumber has more work to do next week.
... just a view of the back yard.... the new shed...and our family room.....this view taken from the shed...looking out toward the front...the side of the family room....my scrap room...and the carport....the septic tank in the ground...it looks like 'Thomas the tank engine'....lol...oops double up...
...the new shed...very nearly complete.... (thanks Dads..xx)
...and today just before lunch...the last of the iron was being put on the roof of the shed...
...Briony out the front.... the front door visible right behind her..... taken this morning ..

so.. what else do I know....
the bricks should be delivered Monday or Tuesday
The roof has another two days work until its complete...
the plumber has another days work.... Monday
the shed will be completed tomorrow...and Ian will need to order concrete for the floor.
our tank is ordered... and we up-sized it..... and changed its location on the block.
We need to mark out the placement of lights and power points for the Electrician...
...all in all its been an amazing week....and I cant wait to see what next week brings...
