And we are in!!! ❤🎉👏🍾 it's been a ride and a half! We moved about 4 weeks ago.... moving from our old abode car load by car load.....I don't recommend it🤪 We couldn't be more proud of the home we created. Achieving a .57 on our blower door test for certification ✌I want to give my husband Stefan 360 Plans the biggest shout out of all ❤ He has designed us a home where we can live happily with the environment. It's got so many bells and whistles.... and external blinds that are remotely controlled😉 We don't have internal blinds yet, deck roofing, floor rugs or even a proper entrance and there is an inordinate amount of boxes everywhere still but that will all come in time. Thanks for following us along the way✌

Little pre-Christmas sneaky peak.... we got some pool fencing!! We got some tiles... we got some floors going in and we got some repurposed dressing tables posing as bathroom vanities.... can't wait to see it all come together! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄😎✌ 360 Plans

It's been a while.... check out the amazing progress. We have the pool in with beautiful exposed aggregate, thanks to Chad Jordan-Pavecrete. Chad was our over the road neighbour many years ago and he did our paving at our current home, kinda feels nice that he has worked on both houses, how sentimental of me 😍 Just to let you in on something.... Stefan is not a fan of exposed aggregate as a material due to many years of it eating into his skin from skateboarding days😳 but I convincedhim, he would be fine... but we digress.... we have an entry, well a frame at least and concrete around the house. AND can you believe the beautiful kitchen, it's not even finished and I'm in love ❤ Bosco Blue coloured lower cabinets, white porcelain bench tops and a black butt addition to the island bench, thanks to Gavin and his team at Crothers Joinery Benalla https://www.crothersjoinery.com.au/ Wait until you see the tiles😍😍😍 How beautiful also is the black butt wood panelling on the stairway.... we can't believe how this house is coming along 🙌✌

A little update....super excited about the POOL!!!! YES A POOL 🙌 One of the most luxury items we have ever forked out for.... but it's a total dream of mine in particular. When we were growing up, mum and dad lashed out and got my bro and I an above ground Clark's pool, we did whirl pools, played Marco polo and generally spent ALOT of time in there. I can't wait to hang out as a family again in ours. A sneak peak at the kind of colour our house will have in it with some up-cycled vanities from old dressing tables and some amazing plaster and beautiful Blackbutt stairs... which is really making this house feel more like our home ❤ Oh and the water did come up a bit on our river side... but not too high.

I had a moment today when I went to the house and stopped to take a photo and just looked.....I was a bit overcome with this feeling of excitement, emotion and sheer pride. I know it sounds really cliché but it's just true. The scaffolding has come down and the shape is now really obvious. I love the square profile, I love the black over the white, makes the building look like it's floating...

It's been a long time coming this house thing. We were only going to be in our current abode for 5 years.. that was the plan. Turn the clock forwards 23 years and this is what we have been able to achieve. Many years of searching for the "right" place... who would have thought that the "right" place was actually in our heads, just waiting for the "right" block 😉 This couldn't have happened without my husbands creativity and talent... 360 Plans, don't tell him but I reckon he's done a good job 😉 A few more months to go. Exterior blinds are in (they are electronic... fancy hey!!) plaster is happening and the work on the entry mound has begun. What a ripper 😍

Did someone say Isulation? Well this Passive House has it in spades.... we have 2 types in the ceiling R7-300mm on the outside of the membrane and R2.5-90mm on the inside of the membrane....2 types in the walls, R4-140mm on the outside of the membrane and R1.2-50mm on the inside....ALSO the slab has been insulated 50mm of XPS under and EPS waffle slab.

Also check out the ventilation tubing..... no you are not looking at an episode of the Matrix.... these are for the delivery of the fresh air through the ventilation system. You can check out more by clicking this link https://passiv.de/former_conferences/Passive_House_E/ventilation_06.html

And finally of you look hard enough you can see some colourful chairs in the distance near the tree line.... that our little patch of River Frontage....it is heaven 🌞🌱🙌

Monument matt https://colorbond.com/colours/matt/monument...profile Enseam.....Shed is coming along well....I wonder if there are any more colour reveals 🤔

Blower door test complete!! What may you ask is a blower for test?......put simply it measures the airtightness of a building, something that is key to Passive House Builds https://passivehouse.com.au/page/blower-door-testing. We are very excited to say we reached a rating of 0.49 ACH @50 pa..... which is ACE!!! 6 and under is the target. Thanks Luc Plowman @ http://www.detailgreen.com.au/, Duncan and his team at https://www.dkmbuilders.com.au/ and of course Stefan @ 360plans.com.au......

Note: a cheeky little (not) shed being built aswell.... it's all happening ✌

It's been a while but a lot has been happening at The Hen House- Passive House Build ✌We have Window..... Frames 😉 Glass is coming this week, it was TOO heavy to put in all at once.... check them out...tripple glazed Deceuninck windows.....pvc to ensure no thermal bridging https://www.deceuninck.com.au/...... Black frames upstairs.... white down....hmmmm colour hint maybe? We are obsessed with the tilt and turn function 👌 Split level entry, beautiful deck and a view to marvel at (don't mind the levy works!!!!). Oh and the shed slab FINALLY went in.... amazing to be honest considering how wet it has been! Thanks Mark Nolan👍 First lighting walk through complete with https://lightinganddecor.com.au/....... can't wait to see it all come together. Enjoy ⭐

It's all Wrapped Up..... our building is snug as a bug (except for the great gaping holes where the windows/doors will be....) with Proclima SOLITEX EXTASANA® Wall Weather Resistive Barrier...... they call it a wall underlay.... sounds toasty 😉 Also check out the joists for the deck... Stefan has used his go go gadget arms to paint those babies in anticipation of the decking..... it's looking good 👌 Wonder if there is a hint to the house colour? 🤔

30/03/2023

Roof trusses!! Yes you read right. Take a look and tell me what type of roof you think we are going to have......🤔 Also check out the Intello airtight membrane, it's one of the houses big features. Think of it like reverse gortex, it stops the air coming in and let's the moisture out...cool 🌏

What.........frames upstairs! AMAZING 🙌 The height and scale of our build is being realised.
