Gyprock

Yesterday the insulation was installed......the one day we didn't visit the site. Today the majority of the gyprock was completed. Finally we get a good sense of space within each of the rooms. Pretty happy so far!

Aircon ducting & electrical wiring

Last week the lower ground eves were completed. Then the airconditioning ducting and electrical wiring was done as well.

Slowly progressing

This week the wet weather has delayed things a bit. The roof over the garage and alfresco is almost finished, eves and painting to be done next week.

Electrican and aircon ready to go.....just waiting to be water tight.

Work a bit quiet this week...

This week the building work was a bit quiet again and not a lot of progress. The scaffolding came down on Monday and they have started on the 1st floor roof above the garage and back of the house, the guttering and facia have now been installed.

However progress was hampered due to some rain & storms towards the end of the week so not a lot can be done then.

Hopefully a few days of sunny skies and we'll see some more progress next week with the remaining roof tiles laid and capped, the first floor bricks cleaned and eaves installed and painted. Then we will ready to go inside.

2nd floor eves done and bricks cleaned

A bit quieter on site this week. The 2nd floor bricks were cleaned on Monday, very happy how they look. The majority of brick work looks great but we did find one large chip in a brick on the balcony, so hopefully they can fix this.

Later in the week the 2nd floor eves were done and today the painters were there. It did rain around 12pm for about an hour so they must have managed to get it all done.

Next week they will remove the scafolding and complete the 1st floor roof and eves.

Second floor roof installed

Earlier this week the guttering and facia were installed. Thursday the sarking and yesterday the roof tiles were laid.

Happier about the brick colour now, it goes well with the guttering and roof colours we have chosen.

Our tiles: Gunmetal Classic
Guttering: Monument
Facia: Evening Haze

They have not completed the first floor roof above the garage at the front and at the back over the leisure room and alfresco. Hopefully they'll be back next week to complete that bit.

Next should be the eaves and brick cleaning.

Some people think a building site is a dumping ground for their unwanted items.

 Anyone need an ironing board?

Bricking finished

Yesterday took a drive after work and pleasantly suprised to see the builders have finished bricking. But the house is looking a bit dark for me at the moment. We are having a lighter garage door (evening haze) and planning on having light window coverings, so hopefully that will lighten things up a bit.

The bricks are pretty messy with mortor, looking forward to seeing them cleaned. Lots of bricks left over too so hopefully we can keep a few (or dozen or so).

Hopefully next week will be the guttering and roof.
