House

Floor Boards

The floor boards have now gone down. At last we can walk around everywhere, without balancing on the joists. Now we can really see how much we tower over the neighbours.

We are still trying to get power points sorted out, but I think that done now. Much easier to get it done now before they start putting plasterboard up on the walls! On Saturday we are going to look at kitchen displays – more decisions to make.

Bricked-up Front of the House

The front of the house now has all of the bricks in place, and the garage floor has been leveled out.

We have had a few problems with power points and so on being missed off of the final plans, and not being installed.  Luckily we managed to catch that before the plasterboard went up so that was easily fixed – an another couple of points added.  I’m sure that once we move in we will find that we are still short!

Move in date is looking like being at the end of November.

Bricks are going up

Another flurry of activity this week. We stopped by the house to find almost all of the brick are up. Saturday afternoon the Brickies were still hard at it, on the long straight side of the house, with only really the bit around the windows for the Master Bedroom to go.

So this week you get a rear view, as that part looks almost finished. We’ve got the doorway to storage area and the big window at the end of the family room on the left hand side, and the study window in the shade.

Some of the lawn has survived so far, and all of the plants along the back fence are still going strong – we’ve got grapefruit, passionfruit and lemons to look forward too. It looks like there is going to be lot of gardening to do over summer.

Roof

We have a roof, with the right color roof tiles.   The house is going through a “Big” phase at the moment.   With the roof on it shouldn’t take the builders too long to finish bricking-up.   Around the garage, the only place where we have a complete wall we are really beginning to get a good idea of what the finished package is going to look like.

Roof Battens

Yes we have roof battens – still got the wrong roof tiles. I’m happy with any progress at the moment no matter how small it is. The “real” roof tiles will be a couple of shades darker than the one should here.
