Breathe in all the dust!

We are so in love with Carlisle Homes right now! Here's why:


we have stairs!!!

























our doors are delivered























and our cabinets and drawers











The men were in to prep the walls for painting before the electricians come out to bring out the wiring. Strange, I would have thought it was the other way around.

Here's some pictures of our plastered walls:

Gyprock, you rock. We've been Plastered!!!

Hi all. Went to check out the progress today and found 10 men in our home. They all took one large sheet of Gyprock plaster and headed into our kitchen. Simultaneously, they lifted it above their heads toward the ceiling with one hand, and with the other they lifted their power drills and screwed it into place. Each board was in it's place within 10 seconds. It was amazing and fun to watch. Kind of reminded me of the 7 Dwarfs (except that there were 10). Hi Ho, Hi Ho..... lol.

I took pictures but I'm not happy with them. The flash left too many specks on each photo so I'm heading back tomorrow to take some more.

As thick as a Brick

Our lovely GREEN door. Wonder when they will paint it?? May ask them to leave it as is, NOT!! :)
Our bricks seem to slowly be making their way up the wall. Don't worry little brickie, you'll soon meet your  friend the roof tile....
You can't really see it in this picture, but this is meant to be our three stacker sliding door leading out to the Alfresco. Oh yeah, and our plaster is still waiting patiently inside as you can see.



The outer wall of the meals area.

Our beautiful roller door leading into the back yard.

The other side of our house. This is where the laundry leads out to. Jackki's vegie garden will also eventually be going here.
