Kaitoke Grand Design

This photoblog charts the creation of the Treanors' Grand Design in Kaitoke, New Zealand 1 year from the start of our search for a piece of land to build a house and live the country lifestyle. After seeing around 20 sections and one failed purchase, we finally bought 2.6 hectares on the Kaitoke Loop Road on 1 March 2007. One week later the build was underway and is expected to last around 6 months to complete. Then we'll really start living the dream here in New Zealand.

Week 13: boarding up against the weather

Another good build week behind Chris and the team. The main roof is on, just the fiddly bits to do now. Every day feels like a race against the weather so good to see the weather board being put up!


Close up on construction!

A new view of the back garden (complete with gorse and native bush).
