So we went out the week before last and we have the roof done. They have also cracked on with getting the framing completed.
This shows Oliver's room - you can also see the framing has started for the master bedroom.
From the front - Cath and Oliver having a sit - you can see the framing for the loft is almost complete.
View up from the living room looking out to the east. This is how the living room roof will look. The framing for the sliding doors can be seen below and they have also framed for the louvres and windows.
From the living room looking up to the loft they have framed for the storage room on the left and at the front you can see that the frame for the railing has been done - where there is no rail is where the spiral staircase will go.
This is looking from the South.
So its all starting to get a crack on - spoke to the builder last night and Paul said the kitchen people are keen to get their stuff done and he expects that we will have a kitchen in 4 weeks! Also means that gyprock and flooring will also have to be done. We will go out there this weekend to hopefully see most of the framing done.
Makes us both happy when we go out there and see progress - the house has a presence... and I think that with the position of the road where you wont really see the house until you turn the corner will work really well.
Cath and I are keen to get started - we have the permaculture plan and we hope to start building gardens in the next month - but not before we overcome the elephant (or should I say mud ) in the room. We have to sift the clay to get it ready for rendering. And as each day brings rain I just hope we haven't left our run too late for this....
