Roughing in

What excitement! The sparky and plumber have been in! We have done a once over, checking point placement and taps. So far so good, just one plumbing issue, the fridge tap seems to be in the Pantry! But I have emailed the picture to the builder - thank goodness the plasters broke the front door off when delivering or we may not have known :) a few played seem to be missing from the electrical plan, but I am assuming this is a placement issue and they will come soon enough. Photos to come...

@ Lock Up!

We finally made it! Lock up stage! Yippee!

The roof is on, the twirly whirlies are on and the temporary front door is in place.  We are SO happy with the colours we have chosen so far! The light roof not only looks good but promises a cooler house due to its reflective properties.

The ceiling batts are up in the roof, all ready to go and the electrical wires are all in place.  There are a couple of electric plates missing, hopefully all the power points turn up in the end!


 On the LEFT, last week with roof on but no insulation.



On the RIGHT, this week with wall insulation, ceiling batts in waiting and the sliding door frame in.



BELOW, how exciting to see the bath frame in - lots of wires all over the place.


It is great to see the full size of our yard now, although the scaffolding still doesn't allow us to start planning in ernest our garden and landscaping.


Such a mess on the nature strip! Ah dear!

I am assuming plumbing comes next, followed closely by plaster - how exciting!
