Our house plans started with a pencil, eraser and a math/grid book and progressed to formal drawings that we poured over and made changes to until we were happy with the final product!
We have been dealing with local council, builders, surveyors, dept of lands etc etc etc and finally have moved a little bit of dirt ready for the sheds, but still a long long way to go.
For those that don't know, we sold our house privately in March and we need to move out by end of October and our new house wont be completed until about this time next year (ish)!
Action at the block.
Earthmoving equipment at the ready.
RURAL VIEW
A view of "Lake Perryman" in our back yard. Our house will be built on the high side of the block and Bev and Bruce (Perryman) our neighbours have assured us that in the 35+ years that they have lived there the water doesn't get any higher :)
Even though we will have wonderful sea views, the rural views on the northern side (back yard) are just as beautiful. During the winter, as you can see, it is a wetland with lots of bird life including black swans. You can see the large nest and the swan sitting on her eggs.
The alfresco area of the house looks out over this.SEA VIEWS
Photos taken from the back of the ute looking south straight out to sea.
South westish towards Port Mac and the breakwater.
We should have a fine 180 degree sea views from the kitchen, dining and lounge upstairs.
