Bricks Delivered on Day 58 of the Build

Catch Up Post #5 - 
Day 58 (Sat 26th June)
saw the BRICKS delivered to site!

The construction progress has the blue lines of the roof battons all over the roof, added to the green lines of the wall frames... the house is looking very colourful and stripey :)

The kids have lots of fun scootering on the street... Its such a nice break from the confined space of the rental unit - bringing much hope / longing for when we finally move into the new place... 

 

 Otherwise if there are no workmen in the house, the kids like scootering (or rip-sticking) through the house.  I've told them to get 'it all out of their system - coz there won't be any such scootering inside the house soon enough' :)

It's nice to see the kids getting more and more excited about the new house with us... They absolutely can't wait to finally be living our new life in OUR place either :)

Evolving Eaves and a Window

Catch Up Post #3 - 

Day 52 (Sun 20th June) saw the roof continue to take shape.

 The house wall frames had the solid paneling added in places
(I think this is for stabilizing effect possibly?)

It also saw the portico post prepared for being put into place near the front door (seen here lying in the front room).

 

And here is a pic of the laundry area
(at back of garage).

 

The other part I have been getting excited about is the 'niche' spots in two areas of the house. Seen here is the one at the end of the hallway. (if you can make it out in all the green lines that is)...

Day 54 (Tues 22nd June) 

This saw the slab concrete fixed.
(one small section was too short for the frame. So this has been completed as required and attached to the main slab :) 

WINDOW #1 was added (front room)

I found out that having this one window in place now (before all the others) assists with the line up of bricks and the insert paneling above the window later on.

The Roof Trusses and Eaves evolve....

Loving the shape...

Loving seeing it come to life...

Woo hoo :)))

Bring it on!

PS: I also love the depth of the eaves over the side of the alfresco area. Nice :)
