      Whoa! I'm super excited for you and the family, Adam! Looks like it'll be a stunner and that's a great move with the kitchen. We always comment about how we should've expanded out current kitchen when we initially remolded but we were already tight on space. Are you doing a standing seam metal roof? Main bedroom downstairs, kiddos up?

        @mclaincausey - hey, if you can't build a concrete bunker, build a box on stilts, right?? Thanksfully we don't have to go with a BFE of 7-12', we just have to be 36" off the edges for the water basin to drain.

        @Clint_D - Thanks so much Clint!  We are excited as well. Since the back porch is about 400 square feet (roughly 36 x 11) - the upstairs has more heated and cooled SF than the downstairs, so the Big Master is upstairs with a cathedral ceiling, double size shower and 13 x 6 walk in closet. Almost unnecessarily large lol And yes, kids each have rooms with private ensuites - tubs with subway tile to the ceiling (We might put arabesque in avery's bath) - and carrarra tile 
        walk ins in the junior and senior master. Overall, it's very similar to the finishes we chosen for our remodel, just someone else is doing it - which is a win for me hahahaha

        However there is a junior master on the main level that will house an extra work desk, and hopefully an Eames Lounger 🙂 My wife's office is a small hall office space, but we are pushing to smoked glass pocket doors for a cool modern touch.

          Sounds like y'all have things pretty well figured out! If you have time, you should check out some of these YouTube videos from Matt Risinger about construction science:

          He's a local builder in Austin and he stays up to date on a lot of newer building trends and products. If you're looking to do some pocket doors, Cavity Sliders puts out a really well designed product that even has a soft close feature:

          Sugatsune also makes really nice hinges and other hardware:

          Best of luck on the build!

              @Graeme given the bloodbath of a housing market you described in Australia, I found this "let them eat cake" moment surpassed the arrogance, lack of empathy, and disconnectedness of Marie Antoinette.

              The trouble with Australia is that it's been described as a property market with an economy bolted on the side, so there is any sign of a slowdown, the government will try to reinflate it. The net result is that Sydney is the second most unaffordable housing market in the world according to Demographia, coming in behind Hong Kong.

              Others have made similar comments to Scott Morrison. Joe Hockey, a former treasurer, advised would-be owners to "get a good job". Meanwhile, Tim Gurner, an incredibly wealthy property developer in his late thirties, suggested millennials avoid Avocado Toast. He doesn't mention getting a leg-up from his family to help him get started at nineteen…

              I've been convinced that the Australian property market is heading for a trainwreck for over a decade. In that time, the average house price in Sydney has gone from $600K to $1.6 million. So what do I know?

                New clock… My Oerbier clock (a vintage Ikea!) broke during the move... But this mothertrucker's so funky I re-named him James Braun...

                And some random 60ies West-German bowl… Apparently it's an ashtray but it's about 10" long so...

                I was gifted these by a local artist…

                It's hard to decide where all my framed shit goes cause I paid a lot to get these walls painted and drilling into them seems… harsh...
