Housewatch: Drake Edition

[blackcat20]

Somehow I missed this thread until now, looking forward to seeing it all come together.

 

[Drakecula]

We're on the construction list!

 

[Drakecula]

Nothing done yet, but possibly this week they'll do the cut and fill. Fingers crossed. We went out to get some more 'before' pics. So enjoy the overgrown dirt patch that is our block.

 

[get me outta here]

It would good if they could save aside some of the floating rocks without damaging them too much for you to use to the same natural depth in the finished landscape works you may do.

Yes, some good garden rocks there.

We got the look of timber, but using porcelain tiles for the flooring.


You appear to be using a very similar tile to this:

Where is it, you probably said, but my memory is like a sieve, it's looks like a well established area.

That looks exactly what we're using. It's such a nice tile.

And Cossie, yep - in Weston Creek

 

[Drakecula]

Digging away!

Looks like a Mr Fluffy block you managed to pick up?

I think so.

 

[love_the_life]

I think so.

I am guessing that as the only blocks coming up in Weston Creek are likely to be them as the bushfire ones will have all been built on now. They did a good clean up job on the blocks and some gorgeous houses now.

 

[Drakecula]

I went past two days in a row and the first day it looked nice and smooth, the next day they'd been doing more work so all muddy again. The cut for where the split level for the ground floor is clearer now.

 

[Drakecula]

Pipes!

 

[JohnM]

Jeepers! How many dunnies do you need in that place?

 

[Drakecula]

Jeepers! How many dunnies do you need in that place?

There's three. One upstairs, two downstairs. One is in the ensuite, the other is by the laundry. I presume for guests so they don't have to go all the way upstairs?

And not pictured is the portaloo for the workers, so technically four? Haha.

 

[Drakecula]

Work on the slab has started! The footprint of the house is much clearer to see.

 

[Drakecula]

Concrete is down!

 

[RooFlyer]

Garage on the left?

 

[Drakecula]

Garage on the left?

Yep

 

[Drakecula]

Sorry, have been a bit quiet of late, but we have had a handover from the slab coordinator to the new site coordinator and the frame has arrived! They expect the frame to go up end of this week so very exciting
