Driveway is finished!!

Been waiting a few days but well worth the wait. They've extended it around to the front door as well which is great news. This is the side view - it's literally just been put down



And here is the view straight on.

Rear fencing is starting to go up

It's a been a long hard slog trying to get my neighbour to raise the fence height by 600mm as his land is now up higher than natural land height. After getting the lawyers and the Private Certify Authority involved, they finally saw sense. It was much easier for them to get in from their side. They actually ended up pulling out their soil pipe so that they could did the holes. Their soil pipe was pretty much right next to the bore holes so probably would have broken anyway.



Looking at the holes from a different height, stood on the wall. They've decided to do the entire length in one hit including Charles (next door neighbour) as well.

Fireplace (Jetmaster) is finished!

The Jetmaster XLR-Plus ( http://www.jetmaster.com.au/product/gas-fires/xlr-plus/ ) fire installed with a Tonic Graphic Flange with log effect fire. Can't wait to turn this on in the winter!!



Funny story. The day before the Gyprock was put on the walls, I phoned up Nathan (my Project Manager) and said "I take it you want the fireplace plugged in before the walls go up??". Yep, it was left unplugged. That would have been fun trying to sort that out afterwards!!

Driveway preparation starts

Good to see that the driveway concreters have used their initiatives and widened the driveway and also included a path going to the front of the house. I thought I was going to have to add this afterwards.



They've kept a good angle at the top as well, so I can wash the cars up there on a slight gradient.
