Bricks 99% finished. Just a few window sills and the rest of the alfresco wall to go. Plastering has begun inside, All ceilings are up and walls will be done and flushed out over the next week. Looking really good now. :)

Feature wall in the Family/Dining room is finished. Also a look from the 4th Bedroom along the hallway to show the overall length of the house. :) <img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10933716_101529771013
[quote who="Jafo" reply="76" id="3567578"] I take it you'll landscape to hide the slab edge.....[or are you just saving 2 brick courses?]... [/quote] The builder is going to back fill up to the bottom of the bricks. There are huge piles of soil specially for that job. There is also still concrete to do for the front verandahs as well as the portico etc. You wont be able to see the slab edge once all that's done. Builder says house will be at lock up st
Brickwork progressing nicely. Insulation is in walls inside and they have started the feature wall as well. <img src="https://scontent-hkg3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/11265208_10152975036277896_5015646048831604702_n.jpg?oh=6cf9a31f
Brickwork has begun. Early stages so far but gotta say i am loving the colour
Is there someone giving away maps to the necrothread cemetery? :P
Call me crazy, But i use Windows Media Player for everything. I installed Windows 7 Codecs and the X64 Components and now there is no file either audio or video that i cannot play.
And they said "Arise oh Necrothread" and it arose, smelling like onions and old socks :P
Windows have been installed and the double front doors have been fitted. That's not the door colour. The actual colour is Monument Grey. The window frame colour is matt black. Oh and you can also see the bricks have been delivered. That starts Wednesday :) <i
As far as i know there are people who are using Windowblinds with no problems on Windows 10 and there are others who are having issues. Stardock won't update Windowblinds until Windows 10 is officially released because there is no point until then. Only then will Windowblinds support win 10. But Stardock will for sure issue notice as to when a Windows 10 compatible version will be available. :)
I am a man of few words.......... Thank you :P

[quote who="Jafo" reply="62" id="3562336"] I've certainly seen worse floor plans in my time... [/quote] The original design from the builder is called The Caspian. We have changed it so much that they have now renamed it after me lol. So it's now called The Kendall. But in reality we havent changed it that much, umm lets see, we added 2 extra rooms, moved the alfresco, reversed linen cupboards and removed one to extend a walk in robe in the daughter be
[quote who="Philly0381" reply="60" id="3562320"] The only comment I can make is that the kitchen area does seem small. [/quote] On the plans it does seem small, But the actual size is quite large. The pantry is whats known as a butlers pantry, which in english means bloody huge. thats where the fridge, freezer and microwave will go, so the actual kitchen space will be maximized. :)
Suppose i should post a layout of the actual interior design. :)
Latest Development. Blue stuff. It's insulation of some sort. Can't remember what it's actually called, But it really puts the house in profile now :)
[quote who="The_Gear" reply="51" id="3559520"] Very cool to watch it get built. But what does it face? [/quote] the house faces the road, But the block we have is an unusual shape, It's like a big 7. The house itself is at the back of the block about 20 meters off the road
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="52" id="3559541"] Nimbin...it's looking really nice. What will be the colors of the siding? The door and window sashes? [/quote] The Brickwork is a colour called homestead blackwood (dark kind of chocolaty).The front doors are monument grey, the window frames are black. The guttering is monument grey, Roof is black colourbond. The fascia and poles are jarrah (medium brown) Bricks <img src="htt
LOL. for the money we are paying it should be nice. If not i will have questions, many many questions :P
Not as many crippled girlie boys nowadays, That scaffolding stops them falling :P
We have a Roof!!!!
I went to see it. Gotta say, Not that impressed. Maybe i am just a curmudgeon but i much preferred the original 2. Forget Mad Max 3 that was crap. But anyway there were some good points about the movie. The scenery was great, The cars and trucks were great. The acting was terrible, Max seems to play a supporting role and it all just seems a bit to desperate to make a point. That's just my opinion but i left the theatre feeling disappointed. Out of 10.... Hmmmm i would give it a 4.5 - 5 ma
Roof frames being installed
Play this out loud when they knock on the door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf6iiBLbMpY :P
