more work on the frames and trusses and the gutter and fascia (week 7 & 8)

More work on the frame and roof.

Got an email from our site supervisor on 23 June to say he is on 4 weeks leave commencing today and has another contractor in charge.

We are lucky as we have access to a building from behind our house and so we are able to see the garden view over a fence

This shows a window in our family living room and the media room by the pool. We were shocked to see how close the media room is to the pooll that I sent my 10 year to measure an arms length to know the distance.  It is abour 1 - 1.5m which is smaller than we hoped but not much we can do about it.

Frames (week 4)

Well today it really feels like we are building a house!!

Went past the house at 8:30 to see nothing but a slab and then at 3:45pm the ground floor frames are up.

We could start working out where the rooms are etc and it is so exciting.

Rain is predicted for the rest of the week but hopefully only at night.

Drainage (week 4)

Now that the slab is complete and is curing - this week involved plumbing work. Drainage, sewerage , power etc was worked on.

Some of the frames got delivered this week.
