Obviously Iām not allowed but these were taken by Mrs Pete the other day. Roof almost complete and just waiting till the concrete has set before the scaffolding can be removed down stairs. Skylights and solar tubes installed sometime later this month. Level partition will start in about 2 weeks. Things are happening but weāre not going to hit our Christmas target and now aiming for Easter.

Wow Pete ā¦ just wow. This is excellent news. Youāve had to endure a lot to get to this point and Iām sure itāll pay off well. Youāre lookinā good, all things considered.
Very glad to hear youāll be at home and much more comfortable. I guess thereāll be a bit of time getting your strength back. That will make you feel better.
Cheers mate.

Its got a nice modern, but retro feel. I somehow feel Pete is hiding something in the basement. Thunderbirds are goā¦ā¦

Weāll have a small cottage type garden on the veranda at the back. Tbh I did want a low maintenance lifestyle.
Re the size itās a lot bigger than we expected but thereās still a few surprises. We (well not me) are tapping out the interior walls next week so if we need any changes they can be done before the framing starts.

Excluding those 2 spaces you mention and your studio area , how many metres for the āhomeā so to speak Pete?
Still pretty expansive I think ?

Iām not sure and tbh I havenāt got the strength to work it out. I donāt know about expansive but itās damn expensive.
I do have to do our lighting plans soon so Iāll get back to you with the m2.

No pool thereās a beautiful public pool 100ms down the road. As for the terrace we did consider it and we have council approval but it caused too problems. Apart from cost it meant we needed a commercial lift at a cost of at least $130ks.

Lol!
Iām not too bothered re spiders, snakes or sharksā¦.more the di*kheads in 4WD that sit on your arse in a 60 zoneā¦!
Think Iāve said it before, but Iāve lived here near on 15yrs and yet to see a snakeā¦!
Far more likely to die on the roads here I reckonā¦! I get more and more apprehensive everytime I go out in the carā¦
What really gets my goat though, is that everyone seems to drive like utter loons in built up areas and 40/60k zones, yet on open roads they sit there at 109km/h like their life depended on it ā sh*t scared of getting a ticket from the money grabbing speed cams hidden in the bushesā¦ā¦itās the only time I like to open the throttle on the JCW, but every dumb ass in everything from a Prado to those silly - not to mention slow - GT Mustangs sits there rigidly blocking the outer laneā¦.! 
Sorry, rant overā¦!
