Welcome

We are the owners of a 1.4 hectare block of land on the Central Coast.

The site includes areas of rainforest which have been badly overrun by non-native plants. Our project is to restore the rainforest and to build an environmentally sustainable house on the site.

This blog records the bush regeneration work we are undertaking and the progress on building the house.

Photos from week starting 10th January

I hadn't expected to be updating the blog until the end of January as the builder has gone on holiday until then.  However work has been going on last week by the bricklayer (on the internal and external walls) and the electrician (on the electrical conduits from the house to the site boundary) and progress has been very encouraging.

The brickwork wall between the lounge and the study where the fireplace will be located is at about three-quarters height (the chimney breast will be in the middle)

The wall along the west side of the lounge and laundry with window openings

Timber frames on east side of house that are part of the reverse brick veneer system
Trench up the driveway with electrical and telephone conduits (there is conduit for the electrical supply to the house and for the solar panels to be connected back to the grid).  The sewer pipe will also be laid in the trench and will follow the branch off to the right

The conduits are connected into the garage
