Ahmet Court – Perspectives
Photos taken from Ahmet Court.
Ahmet Court – The Framework
See the original publication. The frame of the house is made up of treated pine and kiln dried hardwood. All of these are farmed rather than cut from some Brazilian rainforest. As some span are longer than 3 meters, steel beams were used in lieu of hardwood. The external frames are 450 mm apart and… Read More ›
Ahmet Court – The Nursery
See the original publication. Did we mention that there is a huge nursery at our back? Well, we never said that it was ours 🙂 The odd shaped room at the back of Celine and Jessica will be our future rumpus room. That will be the next home of our computers. This is all for… Read More ›
Ahmet Court – Pictorial
See the original publication. A Quick View Here are the proud owners. I am partly facing the future position of the kitchen sink right outside the future side entry to the family room. The odd shaped corner will be the future formal dining room, and the back of it, where the slab goes a step… Read More ›

In the end, we decided to accept the… Read More ›
Ahmet Court – The Piering
See the original publication. On the 14th of April 1996, 44 holes were drilled in our land. Each hole is about 400 mm in diameter and about a meter apart in and around the perimeter of the house. These holes are called piers and have depths ranging from 1.2 to 1.8 meters. The land is… Read More ›
Burst Water Main
Ahmet Court had a new water feature – if only for a few hours. This is perhaps the most exciting news that ever occured in this street – not exactly Wysteria Lane Material – but hey it’s a photo opportunity.
Chronology of our Home Buying Experience
See the original publication. Early 1995, we were mildly contemplating on making the big move into buying a house. We hit the books and began planning on how we could hurdle the big “D” – deposit. We began by paying off and cutting into half most of our Credit Cards. We also scrambled to pay… Read More ›
