Of course I was there!!!! Last Rebel Heart Concert Tour show, 20 March 2016 at Allphones Arena. So what you’ll see on the tour DVD would be her 2 shows in Syndey. :-) Definitely buying that tour dvd!

ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE….40 HOUR FAMINE 2015

Hello my dear friends! I am supporting World Vision’s 40 Hour Famine 2015 and would like to encourage you to have a look and see what it’s all about and then maybe you’d like to support it too. What is the 40 Hour Famine? By giving something up for 40 hours, you can raise awareness and funds to help fight global hunger. You could give up food, furniture, technology, talking – anything that…

  YEY! Brickworks have started….not sure when they actually started but when I dropped by on 23rd July 2015, I saw the bricks already occupying the outer walls of the house. It’s looking more and more like a real house now…woohoo! I also met our Site Sup for the first time. I gave him the coins that we wanted to put on the bricks. We missed the slab pouring so we decided to be creative about the…

Another stage of the build completed….onto to brickies next!

Hello! Soooo cold….brrrrrr…..wet and cold. So gloomy. I had planned to do laundry today (morning only!) as I have not done so for the past few days. But with a wet and gloomy weather? Nah. I managed to complete only two loads as I had limited indoor clothes line. So, I did that in the morning and then went to the site in the afternoon. I had to go see it because we just got Stage 3 billing from…

Roof trusses completed….I think :-)

I got a call from our Site Supervisor yesterday and he left a voicemail saying that the frames and timber are practically completed and said that plumbing would be happening next week. I drove by the site today and yup, the roof trusses seem completed…or at least there was some progress compared to our last visit on Thursday 9th July, 2 days ago. Look…   Yup, there are definitely more timbers on…

Frames and timbers…..Yey!

Hello! It’s almost time for our children to go back to school so I decided to bring them out and spend the day with them. But before heading off to some activities, I thought it would be good to drop by the site first and check if the frames have been delivered or have been set up. I now have less time to visit the site due to new work schedules that started this month. Anyway, I was just hoping…

And the slabs have poured.....

Our builder, Wisdom Homes, is definitely working fast on our build! :-) Just last week, 27th June, the iron bars were set up on the slab area. On Tuesday this week, 30th June, I finally got a call from the Site Supervisor, Warren, and got updates on what has been happening. He was supposed to call me last week but was not able to. I mentioned to him about the lucky tokens we wanted to embed with…

Iron bars on the slab pouring area…

We were supposed to go to the site today but might have to pass….. Yesterday though a future neighbour was at the estate and took pictures of our site and sent them to me. Look…. Some, if not all, of the iron bars have already been set down on the slab pouring area. Things are moving and I’m really curious now to see the target completion timeline for the entire thing. It would be awesome to…

Our Very Own Da Vinci

Thank you for visiting my page. This blog page is to share with you our building journey with Wisdom Homes as we build our first and modest home called Da Vinci at Greenway Living Colebee (initially Marsden Park) here in Australia. Enjoy! (And maybe learn a few things from our experience to help you out when you embark on your own building journey…..)

I decided to drop by the site on 24th June, 4 days after we saw that excavation has started and saw that house footprint where the slab would be poured has already been set up. I also noticed that the iron bars have already been delivered and would probably be set next in the slab frame prior actual slab pouring. I mentioned in my previous post that I would get in-touch with the construction…

A week after being fenced up, excavation started. I was at work and so my husband dropped by the site again and this was what he saw… Excavation has started on our lot. Yey! There’s just one thing that bothers me…I haven’t heard yet from our site supervisor. I thought it was strange so I made a mental note to myself that on the following Monday, I would get in-touch with the very efficient…

18 months after purchasing the lot, some real activity has started on our lot….Woohoo!!! Looking back, those 18 months were “painful” — waiting for the land to actually register and getting the financing sorted with a bank that does not really have the reputation of being an efficient bank (they’re snail slow and they always have this excuse “system error”) – I’m just so glad we’re past those…
