Week 17 - as everyone says, it feels a little slow right now

So yes, it all feels a little slow, even though I know lots has happened. Yes there are days when people aren't there as well.

This past week the painters have been onsite, however they said there is plaster work that needs to be fixed so that they can paint.  They still tackled areas around all this prepping everything and covering all non painted surfaces with plastic - windows, cabinets, etc.  Looks pretty funny.  Glad I didn't have to do the wrapping.

With a little visit to the house yesterday to meet SS there, I noticed that a lot of the plaster had been fixed up.  So I can only guess that next week is all systems go for the painters inside, then out.

Over the past 2 weeks the Garage and Alfresco have had the plaster installed on walls and ceiling, with all the finishing off timbers also.

Downpipes were also installed on a yukky windy day!

The roof has been added to the Portico and since being plastered in ceiling also.

Been having interesting discussion with SS about the laundry chute.  The design on plan is a little strange, so working through.  Apparently not many laundry chutes normally installed.  Funny that the chute was installed upstairs but there is no hole in the bottom of the cupboard!  Anyway, SS is onto it and getting it sorted.

Still working on quotes for Landscaping, Fencing etc etc....exhausting!

I wish someone would sweep up the rubbish
I am about to go and do it myself, can't stand it!

Week 15 - Exterior Action this Week...

The exterior taking shape this week....

Roofing on garage and alfresco and rendering done.

Main render - Dulux Stepney
Feature render - Monument

Had Fixing Inspection this week also, so had a good look around inside......

Surprise, it comes with a cutlery draw!

After reading the plans a million times, I missed that the
Top LHS cupboard is 350mm and the rest 400mm!  Annoying!

Guest Ensuite - where the crack is, shows
where the screw went through a water pipe!

Showing the laminate - little difficult to see though.

Dodgy join in the laundry laminate bench top of 3680mm.
Guessing that perhaps 3600mm is the longest width!!!
Join is UGLY and just inside the door!

Laundry Chute

Laundry Chute Open

Master Ensuite - we went with 1 basin only and changed
second set of cupboards to draws

We have a roof..

The roof is on... Colourbond Windspray roof/gutters/fascia 

So fast - On Friday the guttering and fascia installed, followed by the roof on Tuesday.

Little difficult to get a photo of, had to head across the street.

Framing done - Roofing started - Week 5

Well, little did I realise (my ignorance), that my last post actually shows the "Completion of Frame Stage".  I have worked out that obviously the roof trusses on the garage and alfreso get built after the Hebel goes on the house

Wed/Thurs showed no activity on site.  

On Friday, the site was cleaned up of rubbish following framing and the guttering and fascia was added to the roof.  This will all be ready for the roof to hopefully go on on Monday.

The Concrete Rebate has still not been fixed in the back bifold door.  SS informed me Friday week ago that it was probably being fixed that day.  I think I shall start a little book of questions so when I get my fortnightly call from SS on a Friday, I can follow these things up with him.
