Didn't get home til it was dark today so the photos aren't the best.  The place looks very tidy and I know they didn't have much left to do before they needed to put in the roof joists which will get here on Tuesday next week so I suspect the team might not be on site tomorrow.  They put the deck posts in today, papered most of the walls and I'm not sure if they started levelling the lounge floor yet.  Someone was coming to measure up the outside for the weatherboards today.  Andrew says there will be something to paint by the end of next week *grin*.

Framework for new loungeroom walls almost all finished today.  Can now see where the louvre windows will go in the 'library'.

5 October 2010

'Framing up the walls' for the lounge room nearly finished today.  Measurements to be taken tomorrow for the new roof joists.  'Holes' for the new doors and windows are now visible in the framework.  Banjo had a long hard day helping out... LOL

Space for sliding doors.

 Space for high louvre windows.

Almost in the trees!

Firstly, how fantastic it was to watch the St George-Illawarra Dragons win the NRL grand final!!  Best wedding anniverary gift ever!!  Whoohoo!!

Secondly, here are some photos taken from the back yard... (Geoff - note the special job the builders did on your 'water feature').

Builders not on site today - they had to go finish a wall in Auchenflower - but here is where they ended up yesterday afternoon.

The last two days have seen the deck frame put up and the decking nearly finished.

28 September 2010

Go away rain!!  Lots happening today - more deliveries, the deck is starting to take shape, and we have had a storm this afternoon which has slowed things down somewhat.  Banjo makes himself right at home as the 'site dog' and seems to be enjoying all the extra attention and tid-bits :)

Well, there's no way I can use the driveway/carport now - apart from the sand/gravel at the top there are huge beams under the carport.

View from room under lounge room.

The deck is starting to take shape.  It somehow looks smaller than I thought it would.  I can't wait to get out there and see what the views will be like from the edge.  The posts in the foreground will be going once the new wall framing is up and the new roof joists go on.  Where the posts are will be the back wall of the lounge and will have two big triple-slider doors opening onto the deck.
