Oh that brings back pleasant memories. Looks like the gift is still the same too. Enjoy the day, it's so exciting.

Is night sky a lot blacker? Is it too late for you to change although I'm sure it will look great.

Thanks.
Roof colour is Colourbond Monument.

No way, dont accept the Pci and handover together, that is just wrong considering they have so many small things to complete. Its such a pain having to have tradies…

Thanks. We love the colour too.
It was the letterbox company that made the whole thing, including the lettering.
Its called Mailbox Solutions Brisbane.

Looking really nice, light and airy.
On the home front now!

Inspect the painting closely as it was the only let down job of our build. Some places it looks like an child has done it, will be getting it touched…

Lol, no we had it made by a company.

After 5 months a proper letterbox is a very exciting thing!

First mow of back lawn and first plants in front garden!

Finally time for the tree planting....

Yes, it's going to be a big house with a very nice aspect.
I am an outdoor gardening type but past doing all the heavy type of work. Thom is…
