Yay! We have a frame started!

Happily, the frame has started to go up. So now we can really get a feel for the sizes of the rooms and how things will look :)

We have made some progress this week despite being away in QLD for four days. The water tanks are in and we have got most of the floor down (yellowtongue). Later on we will be covering the floor with Jarrah timber floor boards.

The next stage will be frame going up. I can't wait for that. It will really start to look like a house then.

We have also decided to make some amendments to the plan - which will mean going back to council but should be a fairly simple process (lets hope!). We are going to go up over the garage as well and have a large studio there. Eventually it may become self contained accommodation or perhaps we will make it into a master bedroom suite one day. For now, it will just create a lot of extra space and will be much cheaper to do now rather than in 5-10 years.

Here is the concrete slab for the water tanks under the house...















We have made more progress. We have now got the steel bearers in place, some of our timber for the frame has been delivered, our water tanks have arrived and we have some of the timber joists in place. So going well so far!



Two tanks - both 4700L which is great.
