Rebel with a cause

So I'm just going to say it. I broke the rules. Please don't judge me. I'm not a bad neighbour. I swear.

What did I do? Well I'll tell you. I snuck through the fence at my building site and walked through my house.......twice. 

Do I regret it? Ask me again if I get caught. 

Any who whilst I'm still out of trouble, I have to admit it was frikken awesome walking through all the parts of the house and coming to the realization that it's all mine (and ING's- but let's not talk about  that).

Seeing all the frames up has definitely made it feel real to me and I've fallen in love with my home. Just quietly I may have shed a tear or two or ten or just plain old had a meltdown but whatever it's not important. In my mind I already have the rooms furnished and the pantry stocked. 

So where to from here? Well the windows go in on Monday and the bricks start going up Tuesday. Shouldn't be too long until the gyprock goes up and then I'll be breaking the rules daily.......

Final floor plans

So here it is- the floor plan of my humble little dwelling that I'll be moving into hopefully in the next 5 months max! 

I had a call from my site supervisor half an hour ago saying the bricks I wanted no longer exist. I'm going to Austral on my lunch break to pick out some new ones. No biggy. I'm sure I'll find some that I like. In the meantime here's my floor plans.

Framed!

I drove around the corner today expecting to see that my frames had been delivered in a nice pile on my block ready for the carpenter to start putting them up tomorrow. What I found was even better!

It's not often in the building game you get nice suprises especially ones which leave you ahead of schedule but today when I drove around that corner not only had my frames been delivered but they were at least 70% complete. By the looks of it all that needs to be done is the the garage, the front door and the roof which I'm thinking will be complete by the end of the week should the weather take pity on me.

I spoke with my site supervisor yesterday and the bricks have been ordered to arrive on site on Wednesday with the Bricklayer scheduled to start work on Thursday. It's crazy to think that within the next fortnight I might have a framed, bricked, roofed house....pinch me I must be framing. I mean dreaming. Damn auto correct 😳

My frames....

And on a completely unrelated note- me and my puppy. Just because he's so cute ❤️
