And even more bricks... we think - 2nd week of December 2008

Well it was hard to tell whether any progress had actually been made this week - I compared last week's pics with this week's pics and couldn't see a great difference - but then we have had some rain so we'll let them off...!

In other developments, we were disappointed to learn that the tile we had chosen for the kitchen splashback - a glass mosaic type style in creams, browns and pale greens - is no longer produced so they are going to send us out an alternative to consider... hopefully it will be just as nice!

Just a few pics... hopefully we'll have some more interesting updates for you next week - we are both hoping they're going to make a start on the roof very soon!

More bricks - 1st week of December 2008

As I think I mentioned before, it's quite hard to see what progress has been made now we can no longer get into the site and all the scaffolding is up but there had definitely been a bit more brickwork undertaken when we visited a couple of weeks ago on the 7th - they're almost up to the top!

I let the pics do the talking as there's very little else to say at this stage... click on the big pic to take you to the slideshow!

Club House Rules!

We finally managed to get some swipe cards for our Community Club House this week so we treated ourselves to a guided tour after our weekly pilgrimage to the building site!

As you can see, it is absolutely amazing with a pool, spa, huge tennis court, two BBQs and the actual Club House itself.

The biggest surpise of all, however, was the furniture in the Club House - JIMMY POSSUM!!! None other than what we are hoping to use in our house when it's ready!!! Well... if it's good enough for the Club House it's certainly good enough for me!!

Seriously though - we were really impressed with the facilities the Club House has to offer and will definitely be inviting family and friends to enjoy them with us once we move in!

Here are some pics - click the big image and you'll be taken to the slideshow.

Oh and after this slideshow scroll down to the next blog entry as this gives detail of the actual house-build progress...
