It has been a while since I have written an update- this is mainly because there hasn’t been much to say.Last week, however, there was a fair bit happening on the house. The gutters and fascia have gone up and the main roof is on- I am very happy with the roof tiles we chose. The brick work is almost done and should be complete by the middle of the week. Once the bricks are complete, the eaves will go on and the roof tiles to the lower portions of the roof will be done.
On Saturday we went out to look at blinds and shutters- we have not completely decided what we would like to pout on our windows yet- we are leaning towards plantation shutters on the front windows and holland blinds to the rest of the house. We have organised a quote withy TLC blinds at Narellan so we will see how we go. We also had a quote from Wynstan which seemed a little high,
Today Peter took a mate out to look at the back yard because we will need to have some levelling and retaining done. This friend will bring his bobcat out to do the work once handover has taken place. We are trying to decide exactly how we want the backyard to look- indecisive me cannot make a firm decision!
Here are a few pictures to show how we are going.

This is how the house looks today- 25th May
Thank you Karen for stopping to say hi. Your slab looks great! You will have a lovely view from your front doors and windows 🙂
Thanks for reading. I hope you have a great week- let’s hope for great weather so those bricks can be finished.

Hi Kerrie and Pete
It was so nice to speak to you both today. So looking forward to our frame going up. It was nice to see the slab but over that now! Move on to the next stage I say! Your house is looking great and I bet you can’t wait until the brickwork is done. In regards to the plantation shutters I have heard that Cobbitty Blinds are quite good. I heard this from another fellow magnolia resident who recently went through the quoting process. May be worth a try! No doubt we will see you around our beautiful estate.
Hi Kerrie,
So glad to see you’ve had some progress. It’s looking good. Your view is lovely. With regards to your blinds….I used Wynstan and was not all that happy. Apparently Cobbity Blinds are ok and there is another local business but I can’t recall their name. If you speak to Kerrie at the club (in sales) she will know as she used them and was very happy. Shutters and roller blinds seem to be the go at the moment. I have both and am happy with them. Both are easy to keep clean.
Hope to see you around.
Take Care, Di 🙂
Hi Kerrie,
We were missing you! Luckily everything is going ok with the house… and i understand, sometimes you wait for the post because you want to give more news.
But yeah It is looking great… after all the first stage (admin) this is fast 🙂
