Here are the final plans

So these are a few days late, but as they say, better late than never. It is so nice to be just that one step closer even though the road ahead still seems so long. I guess one of the plus sides is that the longer it takes us to start building, the more time it gives us to pay off more money on our home loan and get it down before we draw more money out of it again.

So here is the ground floor with new laundry that use to be Heidi's nursery and walk in robe for our ,aster bedroom. Yay! How nice will that be. At the moment every time I buy a new piece of clothing I have to ditch and old one just because we have no space to keep them.


Ground floor

 The second storey has the two bedrooms for the boys and an extra living area for them to set up the wii or TV or whatever.

Second storey

When we were at the Home Show yesterday we saw the coolest bean bag chairs that unzip into beds. They are called Bags 2 beds and I can just picture the boys having friends have sleepovers up there.

So what will this little yellow house look like after all this work is done?
Something like this:

So the top level will actually hang over the backyard and we will make the area under it out outdoor entertainment area.

Here is what it will look like from the street.

So the next step is to finish filling out the forms for the council to lodge the amendments and then more waiting until they are approved. They probably have to put up a board out the front of our house and contact our direct neighbours. They have 2 weeks to object. Cross your fingers everyone because we don;t need any more delays. They 3 kids are not getting any smaller that is for sure!
