ReplyDeleteThanks - still feels like there is heaps to do!
DeleteWe loved reading your blog, thankyou!! Your house looks wonderful. We also currently live in Woodlands and we are about to begin the same long process by reserving some land at Logan Village yesterday that won't be registered until October/November, we then plan to build the retreat on it early next year :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! We are enjoying living in Woodlands - will be better once the construction moves away from our area - so much dust!! Yarrabilba is a very popular area - we thought about buying land out there but it's just a little too far out for us and I don't think we could've waited any more to move out from the in-laws lol. If you have any questions as you go through the building process, feel free to comment on the blog as I still answer any questions :)
DeleteHey awesome blog, came across it by randomly typing 'Plantation Jasper' lol
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful home...so many questions to ask
Im about to build the Manhatten plan...whilst living in New Zealand gulp haha
hey did you get your garage floor cut and polished ?
cheers
jason
Good choice! And happy to answer any and all questions you have. As for garage floor we got it sealed - they grind away the floor and put a special coating over the top. Best investment we made after moving in - no dust to track through the house! Good luck!
