Week One of the Build

The build has officially been going for one week now - yipee! It feels surreal not being there. Although I could pop down daily, I don't want to get in the way and I also want to keep an element of surprise. My plan is weekly visits unless I'm urgently needed. So far, the front fence and garage are gone.



Now, they are merely a pile of rubble on the front lawn.




The beautiful bricks we can re-use.


Pretty isn't it?


With the garage gone, the builders have erected a 'bridge over rubbled waters' to the house.



Where you'll find a roof-less kitchen ...


a roofless master bedroom (it's amazing how much bigger and lighter everything looks without a ceiling!) ...


a non-room with a view...


and a floor-less, roof-less living space.


But I promise I won't keep posting pictures of rubble and muck and roof-less rooms forever. Even the kookaburra in the neighbour's tree looked non-plussed ...


Over the next week I'm going to scout around for some rubble-less, muck-less, homes with roofs that will be far more visually appealing, eye-catching and inspirational.

Watch this space!
LOL :)

  1. It will be really great to see it all as it unfolds. I doubt I could limit myself to weekly visits though - more like almost every day :)
    The builders would definitely be sick of me!

  2. You'd be surprised how many people don't mind the sight of rubble when it is the unfolding of a house build. Very exciting for you!

  5. Thanks for all your enthusiasm! I think once the actual build itself starts, then I might be pestering the builders. Am more keen on doing the interiors than anything else!!
