Windows in... 12th October 2013

Went to have a look see again today with my parents. Windows are in and the bath frame work was in too. So I thought I'd have a bit of fun....

Roof trusses up and windows and doors delivered 11th October 2013

Today, our sliding doors and our windows have been delivered! They look awesome! As well as this today, our roof trusses have gone up. It looks like a house now! I am getting more and more excited as I see our beautiful home develop, and we cannot wait until we can move in!
                                Roof going up! We've got progressive photos today!

                                          And the roof is up!





Base frame up! 10th October 2013

Holy moley! We have a house! Sort of.... The walls and everything are up, it's a house without a roof! It looks amazing!


Frame delivery 9th October 2013

So the frame has been delivered and it looks like a big pile of green wood! The pile stands so high! I'm looking at my house! Amazing!


External plumbing 5th October 2013

It's the last day of the school holidays and we have people at our block working on the external plumbing. They tell us they will be done by lunch time! They move so quickly! There's massive piles of dirt everywhere, an excavator on the slab, a guy in the corner cutting bits of pipe and gluing together, action everywhere!

Just after we had left, we had a call from the site foreman, wanting to meet with us that afternoon. So back we went at 4:30pm to meet the guy who was running the show. He was a nice guy who was able to answer some questions for us, though seemed reluctant to answer when we asked if he had an estimated finish time... Somewhere before 2015 was the response! He has informed us that anytime we want to go on site to check things out to just give him a call so he can take us on. He's made quite a few of these homes now, so that was very reassuring.

Frame will be delivered on Wednesday 9th October and begin Thursday 10th October! So excited!

Thursday 26 September 2013

And then there was a slab! 26th September 2013

The slab has been poured and we can see our home further developing. We have our meeting with the foreman tomorrow and should see a frame begin in two weeks!
