These pics document some of what we got done July 2008. Basically, not much as getting council approval took longer than expected. (It's a long story).

So, we're all set to go this July-August, 2009. We hope to get the structural steel up and the roof on.

Building this house is a stop-start affair; it's fitted into holiday time. Anyhow, I hope to photoblog progress and fingers crossed there will be progress!

Is that your Dad? It's impressive already... like the birdy... Cerri · 2009-06-14: 17:04

Howdy - I was just thinking it must be close to a year since we were in fnq - hopefully get to catch up in Brisbane - looking forward to watching the progress Leanne · 2009-06-14: 18:07

Now that the master builder is back on deck, the weather looking pretty glorious, and hopefully going to remain like this for a couple of months, you should see some real progress on the next stage. I will bring down the champagne one evening. Angie · 2009-06-19: 14:48
