Day 121

The scaffolding has started to come down.  It's now looking more like a house.

Day 120

Timber floor has been started.  Some of the kitchen, the study and downstairs hall still to go.  Excuse the photos, all I had was my phone.

Day 118

Most of the external cladding and painting is now done.  Well enough for the scaffolding to start coming down anyway.  The internal tiling has been started also.

This side of the house is pretty much the finished product.  The entry and rendering around the garage is still to go.  Most of this will be white, but the brick wall in the entry will be a darker grey.

The downstairs bathroom.  That shelf above the bath will be in the same mosaic tiles as the shelf in the shower.

Looking out the laundry door.

Terrace under the deck. First paint coat is done.

Looking into the hall window and window in Bedroom 3.

Entry...  still a bit of work to do here (obviously still waiting on front door).   Eventually there will be a small deck in front of the entry door.

Most of this will be white when the render is finished

Ensuite... shower is around the corner

Kitchen looking out to the recently finished deck

Deck just needs the railing done now, and a bit of work on the ceiling / beams etc

We are happy with the grey colour we have gone with... Thanks Milly.

Just the railings and sheeting that beam to go.

Laundry and Store Room doors are hung

Day 97

A fair bit has happened since my last post.  All the internal walls are now sheeted, and John has started the outside cladding.  It's really starting to look like a house now.

The cladding on the top roof section is started.  Looking forward to seeing the front finished!

At the last minute we decided to go for wall insulation.  If we built it in summer probably wouldn't have thought about it, but since it's been so cold lately we did it.

Behind the scaffolding you can John has started the "linea" clading.  Most of the upper level is this type with  bits of the bottom and up under the roof,  being vertical groove cladding.

We are happy with our choice on the green glass.  Doesn't look green looking out from the inside though.  Should look good with our white and grey colour choice.  This section uses the vertical groove cladding.

Downstairs bathroom all sheeted

She must have her broom at all times when she visits the house.  Pity she carries it by the bristles though.

Looking down the hall from the bottom of the stairs (well the bottom of the future stairs anyway)
