Hiatus ...

11.04.10 - After almost 8 months of hibernation I guess it's time to wake up from the hiatus and post something bout the chocolate house...


A couple of aesthetics in the inside ...



But no major work has been done on the frontyard


or backyard


Now if you look closely at the pictures posted ... I guess you'll know what should be next ... (gulp)

Goodbye to the Old ... Hello to the New

09.08.09 - Today marks the official day that we say adieu to the old house which was our first home here down under ... as we return the keys ... Our little girl quipped as we left the driveway ... "Ba-bye House - Forever" similar to the House insurance ad in television, let us take one last look ...

The Bedrooms

The Family Room



The Kitchen and Dining

After a week at the Chocolate house here's the latest pics ... inside and outside ...

The Dining Hall

The future Activity Room ...

And ater a week, we are slowly getting accustomed to our New Home, as well as the travels to and from this province :-) As the journey winds down for chocolate house... let me sit back and Thank God for everything which has transpired for the past 8 months ...

You've got to move it ... move it ...

02.08.09 - The day started early for us 5.30 am after a long night trying to move small things from the old house to the new one. The movers arrived early at the Old Place at 6.40, our appointment was 7am ... I thought it was going to be finished early as well ... I spoke/thought too soon ...

The movers finished loading the truck after 2 hours (they are being paid by the hour mind you) and we arrived at the new house at around 10 ... If I have not called and complained at their office that I guess the movers are taking their sweet time, the move wouldnt have been expedited ... Lo and behold ... just after an hour ... everything was set down at the Chocolate House ...



This is the latest pic of the Chocolate House with the Driveway and Mailbox as well, you would also notice the Fence at the right side is now complete ...

Day 6: Driveway Concrete .. in the MIX

29.07.09 - The driveway has started to come to shape and color ... Emperor Grove is the Exposed Aggregate which we've selected ... Light Colored to complement the Dark Brown color of the house.

The Concrete was laid yesterday and washed today. Weather permitting, the Concrete will be diamond cut tomorrow

The Timber flooring for the remaining part of the house has also been completed. The Hallway to the Door and the Activity Room ...

A sneak peak of the Family Room with the 3 Seater sofa ...

Next stop is the Fencing and Security Doors ...
