upstairs windows

Happily we now have almost all of our windows in. A few are still not in, as we need the window guys to come back and make some repairs as there was some damage when they unloaded them off the truck.

But otherwise they are pretty much done.

The bricks and scaffolding will arrive around the 10th of March and the brickies are starting at 6am on the 15th which is incredibly exciting.

We have windows!!

Here you can see the house with windows on the bottom floor - yay!

Tomorrow, the rest will go in upstairs, as well as the french doors at the front of the house. Very exciting :)

Please forgive the terrible quality of the pics which were taken with my phone.

Second storey

And.....we have a second storey! Yipeee!!

Chris has worked so very hard and has done an incredible job.

I am very excited :)

Here is Levi helping his Uncle Chris :)












Here is the back of the house.













You can now see the backyard taking shape. it still needs more flattening out but its a good start.














Closer look at the back yard.














Inside the kitchen, looking out over the alfresco and into the yard

Upper floor is down!

The Upper floor is now down - just yellow tongue particle board for now but will be floor boards

And some pics from today.

We have built the first part of the garage wall on the right hand side. Should be finished tomorrow.

More progress

Here are some more pics from yesterday, when the joists for the second floor went up. Hopefully we will be laying the floor itself in the next day or two.

here are also some pics of the inside. below is the family room looking towards the pantry in the middle, the stairs to the entrance on the left and the corridor to the lounge on the right (where chris is)

looking at the kitchen with the study behind and the lounge behind that

from the other direction - lounge first, then study, then kitchen then family room
