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 7th November

The finishing off jobs have continued this week and the remaining joinery doors have been installed.  Maybe one more week and then it should be done!

Opening the front door for the first time

This is the view that the whole house has been planned around.
The replacement glazing unit for the glass panel on the left will be delivered next week

The door is 75mm thick!

The joinery units either side of the fireplace are now finished

The cupboard doors in Peter's room have been installed but they are still missing the handles (which is why there are gaps between the doors).  The handles had to be returned to the powder coating company for a third time because the quality of the finish was not acceptable

Cupboard doors in the hallway

Drawer units in the main bedroom

Wardrobe doors in the 3rd bedroom

We are really pleased with the Tung Oil finish on the floor.  It is not too shiny

The floor in Peter's room

The kitchen is virtually finished as well

The swimming pool equipment has been installed.  On the right is the pump, in the centre is the cartridge filter and on is the Enviroswim unit

The rainwater tank overflow pipe work has also been installed (the pipe system for the tanks is far more complicated than I ever imagined)
