This ambitious yet fun learning curve took us around twelve months to complete. Owner builder from start to finish. This meant we needed a lot of help and advice from experts and trades including muscle power, project skills, management, and time.

It was a hectic time in our lives as I was currently taking a short break from work, studying a full-time degree in counselling therapy.

Mike was working fulltime and taking as many long weekends and holidays as possible to ensure we had the hours needed to complete the project.

Mike spent a lot of time on the project before the build even started, talking to council, city planners, draftsmen, plumbers, and engineers to ensure everything was approved before the first turn of the soil could begin.
