1, 2, skip a few, 99, 100

One hundred posts, already!!  And the house isn't even finished yet!

The eaves are half way up, the tiles have been delivered, and the garage door is in.




Thanks to everyone for their support and advice thus far.  As any of you have built will know, there is still a looooong way to go, so I look forward to your ongoing help and assistance as this project continues.

I'm off to find a strong man to help me unload the feature tiles from my boot...

Photo update

So, as promised here are some roof shots, as well as photographic evidence of yesterday's action!

Woodland Grey Roof, Fascia and Gutter



Loving this front door!

Ensuite bath

Master Bedroom.  Have I mentioned it's kinda small?  That's why we have this door arrangement, which will lead to a private deck.  I can't wait to see this area evolve.

Main bath.  That is one big window!  Blinds will definitely have to be down when the kiddies are in there.

The view from the top of the entry hall down to the front door.  This hall is wide and lovely and I can't wait to decorate it.

So, there we are.  I'm meeting the electrician tomorrow, so of course there is a last minute rush to revise the electrical plan, even though I drew it up back in November!!

Roof!

Happy Monday, all!

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the roof for you.  I went past the house super fast on Friday afternoon to have a squiz, but no time for pics.  And then I didn't get back there on the weekend.  Not that the photos would have been any good, given the darkness from all this blasted rain!!!!

Anyhoo, I was very excited to go by this morning and see that all the windows are in (they could only have been delivered this morning!) and that Reece On Site was on site.  This could only mean baths at this stage of the build.

So, rain, hail or shine (most likely rain), I will be over there taking photos this afternoon.

Have a great day, and stay safe in this horrid weather.

Funky Fascia and Groovy Gutter

Finally, the framers have finished.  Yay!

They were really great at putting in extra noggins for us for TVs and the clothes dryer.  I'm sure the six pack of beer helped that task along!!!

Also today, the fascia and gutters were erected.

I haven't heard from the Site Supervisor today (as usual), so I'm not sure when the roof will go on or the windows arrive.  It's only Tuesday, so I guess it is possible that either or both of those things could happen this week.

In sadder, annoying and less convenient news, this happened to my little car on the weekend:

  

All the humans on board were fine!  The accident was not my fault, so I'm pretty cranky about the whole situation.  If you don't hear from me for the rest of the week, I'll be off looking for a new car!

Hope you're having a great week so far!!

And when they were only half way up...

...the rain came pouring down!

It's been raining all night and day, so work on the house has halted for the time being.  The forecast is for rain for another few days, so I guess we're in a holding pattern for now.



You never know, the sun might peep out for a little while tomorrow and the boys will be able to spring into action!

Fascia and gutters are due Tuesday, so I guess as long as the framers are done by then, we'll remain on schedule.
