Day 72 - Walls take shape

Catch Up Post #13 - 
Day 72 (Sat 10th July) - Plastering continues :)

 

I reakon that you can tell what stage a build is up to by looking in the skip out the front... 

Well this is our skip at the moment ...

What do you think?  

Yes MORE plastering...

The build is getting another step closer to completion

and beginning to feel like a proper enclosed house...

We have the enclosed HALLWAY :)

The bedrooms, robes and ceilings have become solid...

 Here is the bathroom... 

(The purple is a layer to protect the bath from damage)

The laundry has always been an interesting space in this build... It got tucked away at the back of the garage as we tried to make every inch of our house count... Now that it is enclosed by the plaster I am spending lots of time just standing in it, figuring out how I will set it up...  I want to be clever with my set up... 

I believe that I CAN be organised - positive thinking yay!

(I assume the green plaster-board is for the wet areas)

Here are two different views of our niche #2... (the one at the end of the hallway - see previous post)

I like :) 

how about you?

To finish this post - here is the few pics from Day 73 (Sunday 11th July) 

Due to being a sunday, there are no changes to report... except for this day being 

...the LAST DAY we said the kids could 

SCOOTER through the house...

Now that the walls have plaster we don't want to risk a scooter crash and plaster damage... much to the kids sadness... They have had such a ball wizzing around through the rooms :)

I am so glad that the kids are having this journey of building with us... they are experiencing the house evolving with each stage and have the opportunity to really OWN this new home together - as a family we are starting fresh in this new place... Sooo grateful :)

Day 70 - PLASTERBOARDS and dirt...

Catch Up Post #11 - 
Day 70 (Thurs 8th July) - Its PLASTERBOARD time :)

This is the ceiling of the Media Room being put into place...

The laundry door was delivered...

A huge pile of dirt also arrived at the front of the house (to be used for bricking maybe?)

The kids were getting into mischief in the various dirt mountains so we went for a walk through the estates walking paths...

or rather, for a scooter...

As we went through the nature reserve, their goal was to find interesting items for me to photograph... such fun!!!

We also names the unusual tree trunks eg. "the monster alien crocodile tree"... (Don't you love kids' imaginations) 

Here are the two pumpkins (minus jumpers and a pair of shoes - guess who has to carry them?!) finally making it back to the street... we were all thoroughly exercised.... :)))

To finish Day 70 - Here is one fav pic from our afternoon's adventure..
