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!

Week Eleven: Cladding, Eaves and Insulation

Busy week. We had the cladding attached under the eaves. The insulation trades also arrived and were busy little bees. Our lounge room had the sound-proofing applied and more electrical stuff happened. Very exciting!

Week Eight: Bricks and Gutters Completed

Powering through. The roof installation was pushed back due to the rain, however it is still moving quickly. We're really thrilled with how organised our SS is, he's been on top of everything since day one.

Bricks were finished on Tuesday, gutters went up on Wednesday, colorbond sheets also arrived and the insulation batts for the roof were delivered and are ready to roll. Kitchen people were onsite measuring the space this week also which is very exciting.

Build quality has so far been very impressive, hubby can't fault them and he's very picky!
