We recently started work on levelling the back yard and bringing in some topsoil / starting on the pavers
My wife and I relocated to Australia from Seattle. This blog details our new house build in Melbourne. The builder we are working with is Rustic Builders, and the house is located in the new Springthorpe Estate in Macleod, Victoria.

Office Bookshelf
Just had the office bookshelf installed, and we are getting ready to stain it.
We had it custom made to exactly fit the space
Very happy to have loads of storage, and finally be able to unpack all the books :)

Kitchen is complete
The kitchen is now finished.
Right before xmas, Clearly Frameless installed the kitchen back splash and we can finally call the kitchen finished. Clearly Frameless also did all the glass in the bathroom.
The cabinetry was all done by Smith and Smith, and the two range hoods are from Qasair

Rear fence goes up
We used steel posts on this, since we already had steel i-beams in place for the retaining wall. It should last much longer this way - and less risk of damaging buried pipes, since no digging was involved

Landscaping update
The driveway and front retaining walls are now completed, granite rocks installed, and the tiler has almost finished up all the bluestone paving at the front of the house, as well as all the capping on the retaining walls. Hoping to have this finished up this week.
The renderer (thanks to my brother-in-law), is going to render the retaining wall this week, and I've already started on the irrigation system.
Plants are booked in to arrive on Friday, so it's going to be a busy week when I'm not tied up with my day job.
