A house with floors and walls

So week 6 has hit and the upper floor and walls have gone up.  This stage is very exciting as you can see where all the rooms are going to be.  We had mixed feelings about things like the size of some rooms appearing bigger or smaller than what we thought.  Some window openings look huge!




Windows are in, Woodland Grey

A house with a roof coming soon!

Up and Up

On Monday the carpenters started to erect the frame, this was really exciting as the house is starting to come together, I know, not much of a house but it's a start and every little bit that gets done, means we are getting closer to moving in.

Progress...

So it's been a a little while since anything has happened here but we've had a lot of rain and a little action in between.  Things are starting to take shape slowly and the rain has finally eased off.  Can't wait until we have a roof as they say this is the longest process.  

Two weeks ago we had our slab poured and it took over most of our block!  They also installed all the storm water plumbing, 3 days later.

Then last week our frame and windows were delivered.  We are happy with our window colour "Woodland Grey", lets hope it goes well with our brick choice.
