About Us

My photo
Jon_and_Ron
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
We are a loving couple with a super-active child on our very first journey building a new home to accommodate our child's wishes - a dog, a cubby house, a trampoline and a backyard to play with friends; and throw in a few of our own wishes - a house big enough to accommodate visiting friends and family and still leave some space, just maybe, for another child.

Come and join us on our journey as we go thru the twists and turns, the highs and lows, and the bumps and holes of building our new home - the Liberty Chateau by Metricon Homes.

    Hi, Thanks for blogging about your M build. It’s a great resource! We’d appreciate it if you could post your external colour selections. We are thinking of going with Murray Grey brick too and would like to know the aluminium window colour you went with. We’d love to see a current photo of your facade. Thank you!
