Week 19 and 20


What a difference a fortnight makes. Frames and roof trusses are almost complete now thanks to a cracking good chippy team.


Starting to really take shape now.

 Roof has been time consuming for the carpenters because there is alot of it. Roof tilers will do fascias and gutters between Christmas and new year. After new year the roof tiling will go on and then the windows and extenal doors will be put in. Then we need bricklayers and lots of them to get to lock up.

Nothing new this week. Measured up for frame. Waiting for the frame and roof trusses to arrive which will be next week.

Week 17


This is the rear terrace slab suspended above the water tanks. We will build stairs going down to the back yard later. Yellow tongue flooring went down this week. Frame will arrive Wednesday next week and start going up Thursday.


Front verandah slab and north garage were also poured. Garage needs to be bricked up next week so the roof trusses can go on the following week.


The plan is to have roof tiles and guttering on by Christmas which is 3 weeks away. Windows and external doors will also go in. Then it will start looking like a house.
