home

 The house did get finished, I did move in, I'm still unpacking and it is feeling like home. 

Yes, the grass has been photoshopped in these photos (they were taken by the building company) but real grass is growing as I write!

When you turn the corner and the house is all painted!

 

paint, tiles, kitchens and decks

Lots of finishing work happening. 

 

doors, windows and walls

 Doors, windows and walls - starting to look like a real house. 

cladding, insulation, windows

 The cladding goes on, the house is stuffed full of insulation! and the lovely double-glazed windows go in.  Born and bred in  cold Kiwi houses, looking forward to being cosy!

 My house build is progressing well. The last post was of bare land! Much has changed.

That moment when you turn into the street and you see a house!

My view of the sea - enjoy it while it lasts before it is built out!

life goes on

There are days we even forget about Covid19 - until you watch the international news.  That is not the case for everyone in NZ, I am grateful for my personal circumstances.

My house build has begun, against all the odds.
