Progress!

I'm happy to report that there has been some action at the house during the last week :)

We have this:

A shiny new driveway and concreted verandah! :)

and a nice big water tank :D
It isn't connected yet, it will go down the back next to the double garage

Front view :D

And here is a pic of the new rug we got last week, love it - so plush and soft :)

I should have vacuumed it first though! :(






The shed progress is as follows:
*We have now got owner builder approval (needed for owner built constructions over a certain price)
*The lady who does our paperwork has sent off all the forms and she thinks we should have everything ready to go next week! (her job is to process and approve applications, the same as the council but she is quicker at getting the papers done, helps with the forms and she is much more approachable)
* We have paid the deposit on the shed, so once we have the go ahead we can order the kit and book the concreter :D - It's looking like we will have a shed to put our stuff in while we wait for the house to finish! :)

I bought some nice native shrubs and pretty flowering plants at Agquip (agricultural field day) a week or two ago. I chose lots of plants that are frost hardy, minimal watering and have pretty flowers. There are a few different shapes and sizes so now i'm starting to think about how i want the garden to look and where i want the plants to go. I have also potted a few offcuts and seedlings growing at our current house. I like some of the plants here and know how they grow. I can't wait to start planting everything in MY OWN GARDEN!!!! :) :)

So that's it for this week - i hope we get lots of progress next week too :)
