Looks lovely. I'll be having windows like yours but in ivory white. It's the closest I could get it to look like double glazing!!!

Pool is on order...that's OH department.

I'm just sooooooooo excited about moving into our own home...at last. We've been renting for 19 months and it's been no help to me settling at all.
I hope, finally being in my own house will help with the whole "making Oz home" thing.

I still reckon you have done really well Tracey with everything you have felt (homesickness)

Your own home, and its gorgeous.

Well done mate.

Argh, I'm not jealous at all No, not much!

Tracey and Denise those houses look lovely and the sky looks so blue!

By the time we get to WA there'll be no plots left and the house prices will have tripled I reckon :scared:
