Walls getting higher…

I’ve just been told by the builders that they’ll have the walls done up to the roofline  by the end of the week. Next week is the roof!

It’s all happening now!

We officially have timber on the slab! The roof should be on in a week or two!

Check out how much wood’s been dropped on the lawn! I wonder if the sprinklers will still work?

The new entrance deck

I’m probably getting a little ahead of myself here seeing as we haven’t even got a house at the mo, but I’m building a new deck leading up to the entrance. It’ll have fern gardens on the side and be illuminated underneath. Nice!

The Slab gets Prepped!

Although looking at the pictures below, it may seem hard to believe, apparently the new place will be finished ready to move in about 4-5 weeks from now! These guys work fast!!

Below is the toilet/bathroom area showing the new plumbing and bathroom extension on the right. Tricky stuff! The bath sits over the shingle pile on the right. The 3 lots of upright pipes from the left are shower, toilet vanity and bathroom vanity.

The 4x short pipes below on the right (behind the rubble) are under the hot water cylinder in the hall cupboard.

Below shows the tweaks to the edges of the slab. To meet the new Fraemohs design style, they had to remove all the inset edges.
