Went out again tonight. Almost finished bricks and patched up the plaster!
Dark photos sorry, was night.

Thankyou! It was a debate backwards and forwards to go with them - so expensive.... but its been worth it. They came up a treat. And the bricklayer is a…

Without a doubt this has been incredibly testing, but the new builders have done…

I'm doing this, too, with some traditional flair inside but with modern twists. The exterior is recycled red brick, with a gal roof and white mortar w/verandah. Interior is very…

If you want, would love it if you could send his details through - we're struggling to find someone decent

Who did you get to do your driveway Sah81? We're just about to do that and not sure who to go with. Yours looks great.

We planted 25 trees on the weekend. A little wet out... hope the little pups do okay.
Plans are settled, we should have a slab in a month or two.

Following, mostly for the badass renders!

I had to edit my previous comment because I realised I was stupid, lol!

Did you take a photo of that mockup on your Mac with a phone? You can do a Command-Shift-4 keystroke click and drag your cursor to take a screenshot of…

Phew. A long wait, as always, but we're getting somewhere. Our plans have been mostly finalised, bar a few small changes! Insanely excited at this point.

Wrong spelling of our names on…

Heh. Thanks guys - we're thrilled!
Horse facilities are definitely the most important aspect, much to his dismay.

Edit** 13/4 - 4 years in the making of this place! Hope you'll enjoy the build now that its well underway. This will be a horse property. Our vision was…

I'm also really interested to see reviews, especially for their more inland branches. There's a lot of bad reviews from 2004-2007 for their Melbourne branches, but I can't find squat…
