Sorry about the lack of updates over the last few weeks, but luckily the builders haven't been resting on their laurels during this period - we are now a hair's breadth away from lock-up.
Over the past few weeks, all of the weatherboards have now been finished and we even have our beautiful turned posts installed on the verandah.
Lots of pictures to show you this week:

The wild and wet Melbourne weather is not slowing down the progress this week either - currently, the electrician is on site roughing in all of our electrical needs.
Then, Ben and I are going to have a very busy long weekend installing our internal insulation in time for our AV guys and the plasterers to start next week. Flooring is booked for the week of the 25th of June, and then we should have the cabinet maker on site soon afterwards. Full steam ahead!
love it!!! can't wait to see more, its looking so good.
