Introduction


Back in 1994 I began a project to build my own dream home in Bellbrae, Victoria from scratch, at the time I had no idea what I was to be in for. Being a bit fussy I was loathe to farm out much work to others hands, as a result I have spent most of the last 13 years building with my own hands.
The house is constructed from Bluestone (Vesicular basalt) sourced from paddock rocks from various localities within 120km, most of the face stone being from near Warrion, north west of Colac. The quoins and string course are of Mount Gambier Limestone.
At this stage I have almost Completed the ground floor of this 2 storey construction.
