We were away this week enjoying a nice break in Port Stephens. It was still nice to logon to Build watch and see the work being done.

The walls got insulated and gyprocked this week.

we have moved inside now! (week 20)

The camera has been moved from outside to the living area. The outside is about 90% done and there is a bit of scaffolding by the front door and balcony.

We still need doors, garage door and the lower bricks by the front door to be cleaned.

So far this week we have had the lower eaves done, balcony sheeting (not sure what that is), air con ducts and the electricians are busy  at the moment.

We are going to have our first supervised visit this week. Very exciting.

Plans for the rest of this week is lower roof, lower eaves and balcony sheeting and frame straightening.
