Final few cut outs for tiles required around the plumbing. Now Kitchen tiles ready to grout.
Once again we've opted to Owner Build and Project Manage our second home liking the idea of selecting both material and trade contractor quality. This Blog describes our Journey as Owner-Builders on 2 Acres in a Semi-Rural Town in Victoria, Australia. It all starts with purchasing the land, building our Man Shed, Building our Home, growing landscape plants, designing and establishing our Garden.

Base Coat on Walls ....
Messing around on the Ride-on Mower obviously with blades disengaged!
Base Coat Painted on Walls
Vrooooooom!! |
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! |
Just 6 more years before I can drive!! |
We all know what a coat of paint will do to brighten things up! |
We've decided to try the Dulux "Antique White USA" that everyone brags about. If we like it in the Shed, then we may use it in the new House.
We're also leaning towards "Whisper White".
Will upload photos when we've painted two coats in a few weeks.
