Kaitoke Grand Design: October 2007

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 31 October 2007. Week 30: periously close. Every day the basics get more finished and the finishing touches are installed. We are hours away from handover and the build team are working flat out to get us ready for handover and move in. It's hard to believe we've gone from dirt to the detailed furnishings. Now only the packing to worry about! New home for shoes. Entertainment HQ (almost complete). Electrician hard at work - there were plenty of others making it a real team effort. With a week ...

Kaitoke Grand Design: February 2008

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, 28 February 2008. It's time to live. Visitors to this site will notice that it has not been updated for a time. I know that this is a bloggers worst crime! It is however time to move on and live the life intended in the Kaitoke Grand Design so I'm officially closing entries. It's been fun to share our building adventure.

Kaitoke Grand Design: March 2007

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, 25 March 2007. Week 3: At least the rain has stopped. Not much has been happening on site this week - it's a waiting game until the builders can get on site. At least that the rain has stopped - it's amazing how the sun can dry things up. The views still look good though! Sunday, 18 March 2007. Week 2: what harm can a little rain do? After a week of changeable weather we approached the Kaitoke Grand Design site with some apprehension. Would there be anything done? A real flat building platform.

Kaitoke Grand Design: April 2007

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 25 April 2007. Weeks 7&8: floors and essential services. With the Anzac Day on a Wednesday we delayed our photoblogging trip so this shows progress during weeks 7 and 8. The floor in all its glory. 22,500 litres water tank - hope it will be big enough! Our very own sewage treatment plant = already hooked up to the builders bathroom! A European eccentricity - insulation to a kiwi house! Monday, 16 April 2007. Week 6: the pink flush of growth. View from the corner where our bedroom will be.

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Monday, 28 May 2007. Week 12: wrapping up for winter. Massive progress again this week - Chris and his team are working wonders. Part of the roof on and wrapping on the house ready for winter. New view from the Tunnel Gulley pathway - side view of the house and the neighbours cows. Close up on the roof and wrapping. The kitchen barrel roof is shaping up nicely under the roof. The new roof shaping up in all it's glory! Sunday, 20 May 2007. Week 11: closing in. This view still fails to delight on arrival.

Kaitoke Grand Design: New arrivals

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-arrivals.html

Tuesday, 4 December 2007. A little earlier than expected we've got new arrivals to enjoy our Kaitoke Grand Design. Two Basset Hounds, named Fortnum and Mason. They are 10 weeks old bundles of joy. They've settled in less than24 hours after arriving and keeping a watchful eye as the landscapers, roofers and builders cruise past "their" veranda. 86kg and very long ears). Fortnum (10kg and very big paws). It's mine, no it's mine! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Builders of our heritage barn - Versatile.

Kaitoke Grand Design: At home

http://kaitokegranddesign.blogspot.com/2007/11/at-home.html

Wednesday, 14 November 2007. The Moss Brothers Team pulled out all the stops to get us ship shape for move on 2 November. 31 weeks into this project and it's hard to believe that that it's no longer a building site but our home. There's heaps still to do but the fun can really now start. Room for guests - 30 days to tidy this up in readiness for our first UK visitors. Home office with Decade Furniture. The sunniest room in the house with a cool calm look. Family room for those laid back moments.
