Incompetence and/or inaccuracy are not defences for theft

 

LOL. I thought it my not be very tactful to mention that to em.... I am happy that the issue is resolved though. The people who own the block behind us which have our meter are not to happy but that's their problem. I was open to them buying the extra bit but they didn't wanna do that either so in the words of my grandfather "fuck em" lol. We want our land back then

Had me worried there for a moment....

a 'meter' is a thing that measures....

a 'metre' is a measurement.... Spell checker ...

[had visions of a gas meter or water meter being on the wrong block]

Oh crap... I reverted to the "American spelling". I will now correct it to the absolutely correct way... "Metre"

"Metre" is french so arguably an American spelling is 'incorrect' at best...

Next lot of photos. Builder is telling us that the house will be finished in about 6 or 7 weeks. Thats a month ahead of the planned completion date. But i aint getting excited. When we get the keys i will get happy.

 

Kitchen with the tiling done

 

 

Laundry pretty much finished except for the door which is still to be painted, and lights and power points

 

 

My partners favourite bit. The walk in butlers pantry with shelving fitted. Lights and power points to come

 

 

Main bathroom... Or as my daughter would have you believe "HER" bathroom. lol

 

 

Vanity and sink in the main bathroom.

 

 

Master bedroom looking towards the en suite and massive walk in robe. Separate shower and toilet which is a major bonus as well.

It must be nice to have a 'new' house..... last 'new' one I lived in was in 1962.

Thing I'm in now [and have been since '87] was built around 1910 ...

It is all looking very nice, Nimbin... and when you've got your furniture/decor set up where you want it it'll look even better. 

Not long to go now!

Yes, it'd be nice.... not that I'll be doing so any time soon.... unless somebody's renting me one.

Yeah, but the older houses have a certain character and charm... especially the old Queenslanders.

We looked at some older houses with a view to having them removed and re stumped onto the block. But in Bendigo there were very few that could be moved that we liked. I did want to go with the miners cottage to, but to extend on those involved so much red tape due to heritage reasons it made the cost prohibitive.

Suppose i should post a layout of the actual interior design.

 

 

Reduced 62%
Original 960 x 539


 

A real shame there is no home cinema. I always assumed people with new houses of this size would have at least an entertainment room of some sort/home cinema. I still cannot get over the size of the garage!

 

Can imagine it'll look mighty impressive when all the outdoor/entry lights are setup.

Actually, he had to lose 35 kg to fit between the car and the wall... before that he had to pull down the rear backrest and exit the car via the boot [trunk in US speak].

You drive in keeping close to the right - driver's side...stop with the front no plate in contact with the end wall...under the bench top (can't park backwards) ...then you scrunch across to the left side (passenger's) and that door can open enough to squeeze out...assisted by grab handle on left wall.  Garage access door is on that side hence the method in the madness. 

There's just enough space behind the car to get there to close the roller door from inside.

 

As long as it works alls well.doesn't "need" to be bigger....

Paul, you wouldn't need to put any weight on!   Perhaps a few less beers.... to be shure to be shure.

Oh, and is white wine fattening? 

I was only askin'

Nah, I'm not trying to turn you into a teetotaller or anything, but speaking of extra weight, my doctor has referred me to a physiotherapist to custom design an exercise regime around my disabilities... crook back, bung hips and knees, etc. 

Looks like I'll be spending a bit of time in the pool.   And my [other] incentive....  lots 'n lot's o' bikini girls.

Couple more pictures. The exposed aggregate concrete of the verandah etc has been sealed showing the true colour.

 

 

 

 

The sealant really brings out the colour of the stones. Looks killer
