Excitement Sets In!

The first piece of timber went up last week. When I looked outside and saw the very first beam of the house it brought a tear to my eye. After two and a half years of trying, we had finally succeeded! There really is going to be a house there!

The sense of pride and joy isn't centered on the fact that we'll have somewhere nice to live, it is entirely the result of achievement. It has taken some serious perseverance and patience to get to this point and now the fun begins.

I'll be heading up to the build every afternoon to see what has happened that day and on the days when nothing happens, I'll just enjoy the view.

Colour, Colour

My mind has been consumed by colour choices the last few months. I mostly keep my colour thoughts to myself as I have a tendency to change my mind again and again and again. I am strangely insecure about choosing a colour and am easily swayed by the scrunched up nose of someone who doesn't think that colour is a good idea.

One colour choice has been made though - the windows will be white. Production of the windows will be finished in the next few weeks, so the time to make a choice on the colour of the roof and cladding is now drawing to a close.

I think I have made up my mind, but my insecure colour personality would like to know what you think! The images I've collected have inspired my decision making process - if you don't use Pinterest for collecting web based images - I would recommend it!
