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 3rd to 7th May

This was a really big week for the house; maybe the biggest since we started.  I have already posted the photos of the windows being delivered on Monday and the pictures below show what has been achieved since then.

The sliding door has been installed in the main bedroom.
It looks fantastic and fitted perfectly (which was a relief for me).


The sliding door in the second bedroom

Sliding door in the study with the completed roof above

Two panel sliding door in the lounge.
The space above is where windows in the second delivery from Westcoast Windows will be fitted 

Four panel sliding door in the lounge. (The sliding panels haven't yet been re-installed)

Outside view of the four panel sliding door

Close-up of the sliding door handle.  The movement of the door is really smooth

Outside detail of the door frame which has been powder coated to match the colour of the roof

View of the north facade

Looking from the west.  You can see the completed roof over the lounge

Looking south from the scaffolding adjacent to the north facade

The roof cladding is almost complete

The roof sheets have had to be very carefully cut to the three dimensional roof profile

Underside of roof over the lounge

You can now see the full shape of the lounge.  Spectacular


Underside of the roof outside the east facade

Looking out from the dining room

The electrician has started work on the lighting wiring  in the roof outside the garage

Looking down the hallway from outside the front entrance

Inside the front door looking north


Looking south along the hallway

The profile of the ceiling in the study is amazing

This will be the view from the main bedroom

The remaining windows are being stored in the garage

The sliding door from bedroom three into the courtyard
