So it's nearly 6 years down the track from when we purchased our block of land and we still haven't actually started building yet but we are defiantly getting closer by the day. We've spent the last few years looking (and going around in circles) at our floor plan trying to get it just right and within budget.
Luckily for us
Blay Builders the builders of the display home we fell in love with have agreed to build in Mallacoota, a whopping 233km (2 3/4 hours drive) from where they are based. This was as I've said previously one of the biggest hurdles we've faced but we're over that now and well on our way to actually starting to
build our dream home.
Our plans have evolved a long way from where they started all though not unrecognizably. Even though we love, love, LOVE! our block of land that also possessed its own difficulties. The beautiful view over the creek and dam is pretty much due south therefore that is where we want the majority of our windows and living areas, meaning taking advantage of the northern winter sun was slightly harder. We also know that the sou-westerly winds that whistle down the gully will be cold and blow directly onto where we planned to have Jason's prized outdoor area, so some serious tweaking would be needed in that area too, not to mention a massive expansion. As for my kitchen, well the original pantry was never going to cut it a would need a total re-think as would, it turns out, a fair few other parts of the original floor plan. In the end, after many, many hours spent cutting and pasting, re-jigging, adding, removing, flipping, scribbling and erasing we finally achieved what we think will be the perfect family home for us.
