We have lines!!!!

As the block is sloping left (lowest) to right, and front to back, the builder has built up the land so we'll have even more of a view.


Another view of our land. The darker stones on the right hand side are to protect the land when builders trucks drive on it. Notice the blue sky... it's a beautiful day here - and it is supposed to be winter! I bet you wish you lived where I did!

Here are the lines! I dropped by to see how things were going on the house next door and to see if there had been any headway and guess what.... WE HAVE LINES! Or, perhaps in more technical terms, they've laid out the plan of the house so the slab can be started. It's wonderful to be able to stand inside the lines and say, "we are in the kitchen here". A truck was on the block when we got there and he apologised for being in our way. I said, you are in our bedroom.. he replied, geez, your bedroom will be big!

The pic below shows the portico area - that is that square at the top. To the left of the photo is the master bedroom and to the right is the 3 car garage.

I know what I am looking at, but you might have troubles! See the grey coloured gravel on the right, well, right in front of that is the garage. The rectangular shape on the right, directly behind the garage is the living area and kitchen meals area. It looks small - must be the angle of the photo.... trust me, I got worried when I saw it as it looks so different when it is just drawn on the ground in line..... we measured and it is just perfect.

The "square" at the bottom of the pic on the right hand side is the alfresco area. We are having a bank of doors here in cedar that will open fully so the whole wall area is open. Hope there are no mozzie's around!!!
