Week Twelve: Gyprocking, Cornices and Rendering

Huge week!

Our SS mentioned that the gyprock trades would be onsite over the next two weeks. They apparently requested exclusive access to the site over the course of these two weeks, meaning that no other work can be done.

We were surprised to find them there first thing Monday, and by Monday evening they had knocked over most of the internal walls! The boys were nice enough to let me onsite to take some photos. Thanks guys!

They were finished with the walls by Tuesdays. I arrived Wednesday to find the front portico had been rendered. Wasn't expecting that!

By Friday, the cornices were being attached. The build is absolutely flying! Garage door and front door should be arriving in the next week or two, as will the kitchen.

Our build contract takes us just past Christmas, but we're well ahead of the anticipated schedule so we're hoping to be in by Christmas. Well, a girl can dream, can't she!

    1. Oh are you serious??? We've overtaken you??? I'm really shocked, although I guess being single story, our build time will be quicker. Our doors are going on today and tomorrow, I'll post pics on the weekend :-)
