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 15: more verandas

More fiddly bits this week. Verandas to the side and front with more base boards. Weather boards now almost complete and whispering that the windows are due imminently!



Check out the mud. Luckily the drains were back filled in the nick of time.
