Your kitchen looks fantastic! I love the grey - we almost did something very similar but I chickened out of the grey cupboards and went with parchment. Your pantry…

It feels like I haven't posted an update for ages! I've been home with the flu so today was my first day on site for a week. The plasterers smashed…

Hi Manga_gelato, welcome! We are builing with Fairmont in Myponga and we are really happy with progress. I love your plan - there looks to be a lot of room…

What colours did you go with in your kitchen Sarah? I had a quick look but can't find if you mentioned your selections

I love seeing the photos of people's kichens come to life! Make sure you post loads

Thanks Sarah I think I originally saw the pendant in Beacon, but haven't seen it there since. It's called the Madeline Pendant by Mercator and a few online lighting…

Thanks MJT. I think the join will be less noticeable once the fencing and landscaping is done... one day!

Wow! In for Christmas

Hi Sarah, your build is looking great! I've been following along quietly we are building in Myponga and about the same stage as you, bricking completed this week …

Bricking finished yesterday - we are really happy the their work
I'm still unconvinced about using two different bricks and the resulting join but I am in love with…

Looks great! Very tidy there is a build around the corner from ours that has had a lone brickie. He has been there for weeks but he is doing…

Also... I've been searching for some pendant lights for the kitchen. I think I've finally found some that I like

I drove past this morning on the way to take the kids to school and brickies were on site!!! Woo-hoo!!! Two trades in one week We'll be heading down…

Roofing started yesterday. All finished today. Windows were installed last week. We are loving it! Really need to take more photos...!

We went with spirit grey we painted a canvas and carted it around the house in all kinds of light. I agree that it does have a bit of…

Those cupboards look amazing! The benchtop makes the kitchen look seamless - it all just works I'm not sure whether I should say that you must be so proud…

Great to see another Fairmont build! I was surprised and frustrated by how slow the administration process was but are right, it is very methodical which I hope will pay…

Lol! I read that to hubby and it made the tiles that I had been showing him look very tame so thanks for that! My brave is not very…

Oh, and we changed our mind at the builders interview and went with windspray gutters and roofing instead of shale grey. This was one of a few last minute changes…

This week's progress: frames are complete and gutters and faschia are up
Sarking has been delivered ready for roof installation
I get to drive past at school drop off and…

So they started and finished framing the walls on Thursday in that beautiful weather! Friday they started the roof trusses but it still looks like there is a bit left…

I love those tiles, but I'd trip over the edge every time I walked in the pantry (just like when you step on an escalator that's not moving!). My husband…

Absolutely loving this sunshine! And with sunshine comes progress!!!

Woo hoo! How exciting is it to see progress?! your bricks look great

Your home is looking beautiful! My kids think that our choices are boring too - my 5 year old has perfected the eye roll...! We've compromised by telling them we…

Thanks for that Conrad

Dawn, that must seriously be the fastest landscaping in history! I've been following your build and your frustration with how slow everything went but I love how you've moved…

Moving along nicely the bricks look beautiful! I definitely prefer them with the natural mortar. It gives them a lovely soft look. I think your shower niche looks perfectly…

We've had deliveries this week! Bricks delivered on Monday and frames today. We also have our very own moat

Nice work, it looks very tidy my husband lost the end of his pinkie helping his brother move concrete retaining - those things are heavy!!! You've done a great…
