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 24th October

We are getting very very close to the end now.  The big milestones this week were completing the driveway and removing the site boundary fence.  For the first time we were able to drive up to the house just as we will when we are living there.  A magical moment.

View from the start of the driveway; you get a glimpse of the house  

and  then it disappears 

View on the way out

Looking down from the car park.  The driveway is already getting covered in leaves and sticks

Inside the fire place surround has been fitted

The powder coated supports for the window openers have been fitted.  They look really neat

The glass splash back has been installed.
The back has been painted in Tumbleweed to match the outside colour of the house
