Last week Glenn finished off a HUGE transformation for his cousin. The new 36sqm deck has doubled the living area of the house and the new bifold doors & windows give a great indoor/outdoor flow, creating a usable social area that will no doubt see a few bevvys consumed!

The stone mason has finished at the new build 'off the grid' house by the river. The entry wall looks so, so good and the stone here and around the double sided fire really links the house to its surroundings πŸ”₯πŸžβš’οΈπŸ‘

There have been alot of delays but here are some progress photos of Glenn's current build.

The clients are local, a 5 minute drive from our own place, and its their forever home in such a beautiful location - who wouldn't want to overlook the river from the living area with private access for summer swims!
The house has intentionally been designed so it will blend into the landscape with riverstone pillars and features inside & out. 🏞🏑

Just a boy and his dog enjoying the arrival of timber to finish the deck πŸ₯°

Supply issues are HUGE at the mo. We received the majority of the garapa timber for Glenn to be able to do most of the deck in the last lockdown in August but FINALLY had the rest available to finish outside kids lounge this week. No more ply required as a stand in! πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ

Glenn's latest build is an awesome 'off the grid' build right on the rivers edge 🏠🏞

Pretty sure the guys wished they took their togs (or spare un**es at least!) when they were pouring the foundations in the 30+ degree heat last week! No doubt they will be utilising the river before summers finished.

Last photo shows just how close the river is πŸ₯°... and I'm a little bit jealous!

This deck might look relatively finished from these photos... but it's not. It's not a wee deck. Just 60 odd sq metres 😳...

This deck might look relatively finished from these photos... but it's not. It's not a wee deck. Just 60 odd sq metres 😳

Due to the last lockdown and delays with pretty much everything, Glenn ended up with the time he'd allocated to build our deck but not the timber, then he had (most of) the timber and not the time.

BUT... this lockdown we had the timber and there has been no excuse for time!

This enormous garapa deck is now around 60% complete... and I'm happy with that (for now). If the weather turns to πŸ’© as forecast, or Jacinda let's us out of our rooms next week (when actual paid work takes precedence πŸ’²) it may stay this way for a little bit. But I'm ok with that because it's progress and it looks amazing πŸ₯°

Something exciting has happened.... after ordering our towel rails and toilet roll holders back in late August, they have FINALLY arrived!!! πŸ’ƒπŸ•Ί

Covid (a.k.a "The gift that keeps on giving" πŸ™„) has caused so many delays and shortages across the country, that's for sure. Now we just have to wait until May for our Garapa decking timber πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Guess it will just be summer drinks on some temporary plywood until then!

Here's some pics of our gunmetal toilet roll holders which I'm sure you are as excited as us about... 😏

It's been a while since we've posted but we moved in on the day we said we would in early October! We're by no means finished (deckless and currently with an unplanned lagoon view πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ)

Here are some quick pics of some of the features of the "House that Glenn built" just for us 😁🏠

Some of our most anticipated and exciting parts of the build happened over the weekend and today... the awesome American Oak laundry bench, handcrafted by Glenn and the AMAZING hand pressed concrete benches (island complete with waterfall ends 😍) and concrete basin in the seperate toilet - both by Creative Crete - are all in place and just waiting for us to move in on Saturday πŸ’ƒπŸ’₯🍹

We weren't going to share too much more of the unfinished spaces... but it's too exciting!

This is a glimpse of the main bathroom & ensuite tiles and the stainless bench in the scullery 😍

It's ALLLLLL go now! 🏠
