what is that pile for?

It's the house!

Yes the house frames have now arrived and a long day by Crosie and i on Sunday, has meant that we have some of the house frames up - it's all very exciting!

We are a little scared at how big the wardrobe is in the third bedroom, but no worries as it will be filled with my sewing gear!

Unfortunately with the house frames up we are now blocking the view from the portacom ... lol! Perhaps we shouldn't build the house ... not likely! It's also cutting the view from the manspace out to see, but hey we'd much rather have a house!


The garage, third bedroom, laundary cupboards, part of the scullery, our ensuite and walk-in wardrobe frames are all standing and stood throughout the night - so that must mean they are there to stay.

I have to say i did a little dance when the frames arrived on Friday - it was very exciting that phase 2 was about to begin.

While we want phase 1 to finish asap, we are still progressing every day. We have some great neighbours who have 5 builders onsite, so will be well ahead of us - but as they pointed out one day on their site is 5 days on ours.

Crosie is doing an amazing job and we love him for it. He celebrated a "9" birthday on the 12th and he has started thinking about his "0" birthday next year. As one of his mates pointed out he only has 364 days to go until he reaches that milestone (see honey i have not put the number in!).
