Ducted heating going in today :).

Bamboo

 

Our new place is boardering a proposed school.   I started investigating different hedging plants to act as a barrier.   I decided Bamboo would be the best choice as it is not too wide taking up too much land.  Much to my dissappointment I discovered that Bamboo plants are very expensive and I have a lot of fence to cover.   Luckily I stumbled across bamboo seeds sold on ebay. 

 

Before everyone freaks out I have selected a non-evasive variety - Borinda fungosa (syn. Fargesia fungosa) known as the Chocolate Bamboo.  It grows to 5 metres tall. 60 seeds for $30.  So much more affordable. 

 

 

 

Happy Gardening

All hebel'ed

Our house has been fully Hebel'ed now :).  I assume now that we are not far off from lockup stage.  Electrical wiring getting done this week.

Cheers

Here you go Dad...

Here you go Dad.  I am finally uploading the latest photo from the house.  Lower level all Hebel'ed.  Top level getting prep'ed.

Heres a photo for Mum of your two cheeky grandsons.  One of which was not participating ;).

 

Happy Friday Everyone.

MMMM Mahogany

There is a shop in Elsternwick which is closing down.  They have some of the most gorgeous furniture and knick nacks.  The shop is close to where I do my monthly hypnotherapy course.  Each time I have been buying knick knacks here and there for the new house.  Last month I could not go past this mahogany chair which also converts into a step ladder.  Perfect to go in the master bedroom at the dressing table and when connverted into a step ladder we can have access to the top of our wardrobe.

 

But alas the next time I am due to do my course the store will have closed down (which Rob is quite happy about).

DIY Wall Art

I wanted some pictures to go above our bed head in our new house.  I had a look at a few, but the price really put me off.  So I decided to buy some canvases and material at my local craft store and make my own .

 

Using a staple gun I attached the material to the back of the canvas and

TA  DAA...

 

 

The beauty of this is when I hang these up, if they look crappy I can just swap it up to another material:).

P.S If you ever use a staple gun check that you use the right end because stapling your little finger is extremely painful and takes over a week to heal :(.

 

 

Hebel

Today the Hebel started to go up. 

 

Before we know it, we will be at the lock up stage.

Stairwell Pendant Light

Today I put on layby our stairwell  pendant light .  Rob & I have been arguing discussing what we would like for a while now.  Yesterday we finally came to agree on the, Mercator Torino 12 pendant light fitting.   Ours will be more staggered and hanging a lot lower than shown in the picture below.  It will also be a smoky colour as opposed to the clear glass shown.

Cheers Lyndall

P.S Today the brackets are being attached ready for the hebel to be installed :)

Little Bits and Pieces

It has been a bit quiet at the house build in the last 4 days.  I did notice however, that the Hebel has been delivered to the site and a couple more windows have been put in. 
I am trying to be patient, but it is so hard.  I just want to move into my new completed house NOW :).

roof tiles

Full steam ahead.  Roof tiles are on :)
