Skirting and kick boards - Powder coated aluminium in Precious Silver Pearl. Kitchen cupboards - Laminex Charcoal. Kitchen benchtop - Staron Aspen Dew.

Constructing Rosewater: October 2009
http://constructingrosewater.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Online diary following the building our own home. Monday, October 19, 2009. Spent the weekend cutting down a tree from next door, it was hanging over the pool and dropping leaves, the sort that clog the filter after a single cycle. Luckily the neighbour was agreeable to the tree being removed. We also put up some screening around the pool, looks good so will do the rest as soon as we can get more screening panels.

People in glass houses. A journey to a new home. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. About 2 years ago we went on a sustainable homes tour of houses in and around Hobart. One designer caught our eye and from talking to the owners of the 2 houses of his we looked at, we decided to talk to MC (who has won awards for environmental design) about our project. Jump forward again to March 2008 and we have a house design! Nor could we justify the cost of building anything bigger. Looking towards Lot 1 from the road.

People in glass houses. A journey to a new home. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Finally, one step closer: we have a. Well we finally have council approval for our house DA.

People in glass houses. A journey to a new home. Saturday, October 10, 2009. I ran into AE this morning. He was onsite retrieving some equipment, so we had a bit of a chat. He said he has booked the slab pour for the last week in October. He was thinking about a week earlier, but didn't trust the weather. I still don't trust the weather, but we'll cross our fingers, toes and what ever else we can! Friday, October 9, 2009. Well this time it's the slab insulation we are waiting on.apparently there's a ...

People in glass houses. A journey to a new home. Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Frame for the roof is coming along. This is where it stands as of Christmas. The builders finished up on the 23rd and will be back on the 6th January. When they get back, the priority is to finish the frame and get the roof on and to finish the internal block work walls. Once the walls are done, then the first grind of the slab will happen. I can't wait. To see what it's going to look like. View from the entrance hallway.
