And here you go … the complete rear facade of @themaybeforever 🙌
⁣
I think this is version 1,001 🙈 Not going to lie, it took quite awhile for me to go … yep, that’s it (luckily @gud_studio was very patient). You might notice my signature style of a pitched ceiling is missing and it definitely threw me. But we go their in the end 🥵. ⁣
⁣
So c’mon council, my mantra is … think good things, and good things happen. Or perhaps I should tweak it to ‘think things happen fast, and my DA approval will appear’ 🙏😝. ⁣

You might know Ben as #camerashybuilder 😝🎥
⁣
Behind the scenes he is one amazing dad to our four boys. Whilst he might be a builder by day @bamconstructionsgroup , during his ‘downtime’ he has constructed many homes for us to call home & share with you as a guests, but far more importantly he has created beautiful relationship with all of his sons. ⁣
⁣
Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dad’s today. And sending love to all those who can’t be with their Dad today. 💗💗💗⁣
