Hello, my name is Eric and I live in the state of New South Wales. This is my blog which details everything I have learnt while demolishing my old home and building a brand-new property. It had always been my dream to build my own home, so when my wife and I won a little money, we decided to go ahead and do it. However, we didn't have a clue where to begin.
