Day 60 - a ROOF on top!

Catch Up Post #6 - 
Day 60 (Mon 28th June) -
A nice new colourbond ROOF is happening!!!

Sooo exciting to see the roof sheets go on... The colourbond roof colour is called "Evening Haze".



This photo is mr 7 in the door way of "his room"... 

The feeling of the space just keeps evolving as elements of the house are added / constructed... The wall frames made it a 3D experience.  Now, when standing in the various rooms/areas, the roof provides a lid above you...

WOW.... the Journey of building a house is definitely different to the experience of simply buying a new one... sorry to state the obvious lol :) just trying to put into words how this process feels... waiting... watching... evolving... anticipation growing... learning a great deal as we go...

I am having lots of moments that make me think of the TV advert for colourbond roofing (shown in QLD sometime in the past 24 months) .  The main character of the advert is seen standing outside in his underwear because he dashed out to pick up his newspaper and got distracted gazing admiringly up at his colourbond roof... hehe - I may not be out in only my underwear but I am definitely distracted and excited by the significant event of our ROOF going on!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeee :))))))))))

Bricks Delivered on Day 58 of the Build

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 :)
