Our House - Week 16

we have a fence on one side (thanks to our neighbours)

Everything is plastered, the above pic shows all our internal doors stacked up in the house. The architraves are up too.

Our House - Week 14

Ciaran's room

Ducts for heating in, and the insulation batts.

My room - en suite to left, robe in middle, exit right.

We're at lock up stage, which I thought meant that the doors were locked, but while taking photos through the windows I fell through the laundry door, which was not locked and obviously not shut properly either!

So my other theory is that lock up means I need a short stay in a mental institution due to all the stress!

Our House

New series of regular features will track the progress of our house being built.

We started this mammoth journey last April... and since then we have gone through the laborious, mind numbing task of buying land, completing paperwork, choosing builders, completing paperwork, designing house, completing paperwork, obtaining loans, completing paperwork, etc etc (you get the picture)

Back in August, I posted this. Finally, we have got the building permit, and I have been promised that the cutting and staking out will take place this week, ready for the slab...

Here's a pic of what our land looks like now:-

Our left hand neighbours (our house will look very much like this at the front)
Our right hand neighbours

The good thing about them getting their houses up first, is that we don't have to put up with living next door to a construction site... they do!
