A quick update on our house build, and if you stick around till the end
I'll introduce you to my new baby.

our house build started just a few short months ago, and it's gone up so quickly since then,
It's been amazing to see the progress. Here's a quick look at what's been going on so far.
We have a nice flat block but we needed to have 400mm of dirt fill to help with the plumbing.
Then the trenches and the piping and everything went in and before we knew it, there was a slab.
Once the frame goes up, it kind of gives you a better idea of the size of the rooms.
It was so exciting to see our Dowell windows and doors going in!
We chose aluminium french doors to make them more weatherproof.
On the sides and back of the house exterior we have Hardiplank smooth
weatherboard-look cladding by James Hardie in 230mm size to be more cost efficient,
and on the front of the house we chose to have Hardie Scyon Linear cladding
in 150mm size to give it a real Hamptons look.
It's something to be aware of if you're wanting to build Hamptons Style in
Australia - Scyon Linear cladding is expensive, and while building with some concrete fibre
weatherboards might be cheaper, Scyon Linear costs around the same as building with brick.
Next internal walls went in and then the cornices.
We have 90mm size "Cove" cornices and 2.7 metre ceilings.
The kids bath went in and bathroom waterproofing was done.
Skirting boards and architraves were delivered and then the most exciting part - cabinetry!
We've chosen a modern take on Hamptons cabinetry - I'll talk about it more in another video,
and we bought our own knobs too - the bathroom and laundry ones still need to be changed over.
And here the tiler is hard at work on our herringbone splashback! Yes it's called a
splashback in Australia, not a back-splash - just a little trivia for you! And tiling is starting to
go in in the bathrooms. So that's where we're at so far, it's been very surreal seeing our plans
coming to life and of course very exciting too, and I can't wait to show you the finished product!
Now I have a very special guest to introduce you to, and here she is, this is my baby daughter!
She was born in October and she was a huge surprise because she's got three lovely big
brothers and we didn't know what we were having, so here she is and we all love her to bits! She's
looking forward to having a new house too, aren't you? Well thanks for watching everyone, and I hope
this video has been helpful if you're building, or thinking about building, and I hope you've enjoyed
meeting my little baby girl. Don't forget to like this video and check out some of my other videos,
