Walls Doors and Windows

Things are happening really fast on site now. The trees have come down, retaining walls have gone up and my version of the Great Dividing Range has been levelled to make the beginings of a garden.

Structurally the building looks more like a house again as there is a roof on the extension and all the new doors and windows have been fitted.

  It looks fantastic! The timber for the windows is just beautiful even the tradesmen have had to stop to admire them. The house gets wrapped in blue insulation sheeting followed by the VJ boards outside and gyprock walls inside giving us defined rooms for the first time. Everyone on site is working frantically to keep to schedule, sometimes there are so many tradesmen inside it's hard not to fall over each other.


Apparently this is now the fun stage of the build as I get to choose paint colours and source bathroom accesories, tiles, carpets, vinyl, furniture, window treatments, soft furnishings and the list goes on and on.....brilliant!
But ... finally, I feel like we are on schedule and my hopes to be moving in by August could  be realised.
