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 27th June

The majority of the work this week has been in installing and plastering more gyprock on the walls and ceilings.  The most exciting developments have been the installation of some of our solar panels and the news that our second shipment of windows (for the lounge) have left Sweden.

If you look carefully at this view of the hallway you will see that the alcove ceilings have been lowered and line up with  the top of the hallway cupboard

Framing for the new ceiling outside bedroom 3

Corner beading has been installed around the window opening in the lounge

It was a beautiful day for sitting out on the terrace
