Blog #33:

Just a cheeky little blog today. I thought the last blog may have been a good place to leave it, but we have had more progress so thought I best share. Andre Brown has finished painting the exterior, the high eaves and PVC downpipes the last of his tasks. He would have been finished earlier …

Blog #32.

It has been surreal. To finally be living in what had been a figure of our imagination for so long. I will preface this blog with the acknowledgement that we may be looking through rose colour glasses, and that our taste and style will not appeal to everyone. That is the beauty of building a …

The builders have run out of things to do, so have been working elsewhere this week. Our project has been their priority and …

After a short break we are back into it at Wilson Court. Our attention has turned to the inside and the tradies have had a productive 2 weeks. The builders, or builder for the first week, have mainly been working on the bathrooms. They have waterproofed the floor and walls, installed the screeds for the …
