Just the Two of Us

Just the Two of Us

After 35+ years of marriage, two wonderful sons, living and working in Australia, Sweden, UK and USA we are now 'just the two of us' plus a very spoilt Shitzu.

Following five years at The Sandhurst Club it is time to downsize. Our criteria - build a new home in a development within ten minutes of John's Sandhurst Golf Club, access to Monash and Eastlink Freeways, all new infrastructure and proposed services, recycled water and no Management Company or Body Corporate Fees.

We invite you to view our journey as we build with Carlisle Homes our 'Savannah 28' at 'The Avenue at Casey', a masterplanned community meeting all our criteria.

RENDER TOPCOAT AND SITE CLEAN

 
WOW...wonderful to view house without a wire fence, portaloo or builders rubble - looking forward to that big green skip and surplus bricks going too!

Very happy with our Render colours complimenting the Austral 'Blackwood' bricks and Colourbond 'Dune'.  Fences, Driveway, Portico deck, Alfresco and landscaping will keep us busy.

Kitchen Rangehood and Flyscreens installed today.

HELLO MR. BRICKLAYER

Brickies arrived and fingers crossed for fine weather.  Thrilled with our Austral Blackwood bricks, beautiful variation and warmth of colours when eventually cleaned. Spoke to SS - cornices finished today, internal fixing scheduled for next week; architraves, skirtings, doors etc.  including kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. SS anticipates painting will also commence before Xmas.

Cornice man's calculations!

SS called today - plastering continues with cornices tomorrow.  Bricklayers imminent, due a week ago but weather has delayed them on another site. Bricks and lintels waiting for them.
