Gutters and Roof Battons

Catch Up Post #4 - 

Day 55 (Wed 23rd June) 

saw work on the roof's GUTTERS and TRIM.

Trim on the Portico (entry)...

Guttering and trim put on the edges all around the house :)))))  

This was mentioned in an earlier quick post I did (as I got a little behind on sharing all the progress).

Our bathtub also turned up, and was put into the pantry to wait patiently to be put into place :)

Around Day 57 (Fri 25rd June) we saw quite a bit of RAINY WEATHER - making the house construction very wet work for the carpenters.

The guys were amazing and just kept on working - we are so grateful that the build is now continuing. We spent sooo much time waiting due to wet weather at the beginning... what a welcome relief it is to see construction progress in spite of the rain! Thanks to the great tradesmen!

 These pics shows the roof battons (the horizontal lines) now on the roof surface.

Back view.

 

The roof bracing...                    The roof scaffolding...

And the Front Portico Post is put into place :)))))

Good stuff :)

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 :)
