Ground Zero

Well, here it begins. Six months after paying the initial deposit and three months after signing the contract we are finally at the point where construction can begin. There are still some finishes to be worked out, but at last we seem to be moving forward. Today the site was levelled in preparation for the slab!

We are building with Ausbuild and doing a modified Kimberley LKI with Island facade in North Lakes, on the outskirts of Brisbane, Queensland. Here's what it will look like (from the Plans, tricked up with Publisher).


The house is a single-storey four-bedroom with computer networked study (for me) and Kidzone (for the kids). The alfresco is on the side, facing north, where eventually the pool will be. We are still working out how to make a feature of the massive rock retaining wall at the back.


The kids were excited to see that the slabs had been poured on either side of us. Now to fill in the gap!
