Weird thing this year - not only are we building a house, but my sister and her husband - 'The G' - are also building a house AND my Mum and Stepdad are about to start building a house... we didn't plan this - it has just worked out this way.
My sister and The G are the first in line, so we have eagerly been watching their house go up. And now it's up! My sister and I also have completely different lifestyles. We are country folk, we live in a small country town a few hours from the coast on a couple hundred acres. My sister and The G live on the coast - only a few hundred metres from a beautiful beach. As such, our houses are completely different - they have an ultra-modern beach house, and we are building a country homestead surrounded by wildlife.
We all actually have the best of both worlds - we get a beach side resort when we visit them, and they get a country retreat when they visit us. Perfect!
So here's an update on their house! D and 'The G' - you've done a great job and should be very proud of yourselves.

Great view from the balcony to the beach...
Tada... moving in very soon!
