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 14th February

The bricklayer was back this week so there was progress on two fronts; the garage brickwork and preparing the terrace slab for pouring.

The front of the garage feels quite imposing as you come up the driveway.

The height of the garage wall is governed by the slope of the roof and the continuity between the garage roof and the house roof on the west side.

The rear wall of the garage is not yet finished by you can see where the rear window will be.

The reinforcement for the terrace slab is in place and it is almost ready for pouring.

The formwork has finally been stripped out from the swimming pool and it is filling up with rain again.

We have asked the builder to create some earth terraces along the west side of the house so that we can control the rainwater run-off and as the locations of the vegetable beds.
