As predicted last blog, we went to the block this weekend and saw that the builders have been busy - the frame is partially complete (and to think that it was only a piece of concrete in the ground on Wendesday night).
When we went down on Saturday, I met the frame builder. He was a great guy, very happy to have a chat about it all. Although I felt out of place taking photos when he was about so we had to go down again today (Sunday).
From over the street:
From the front looking 'through' the master bedroom to the three spare bedrooms rooms:
The small alfresco:
From the back of the house looking towards the front, across the large alfresco (theatre room to the left of the shot):
Looking down the central coridore from the front:
Looking towards the back again from the front:
The builder was there on site doing all the measuring and cutting of the wall supports. That's them lying on the ground. Which means that when his staff are on site from Monday, the supports are measured, cut and simply ready to put upright.
From here, they will finish the frame, the roof will be put on and then the house will be at 'Frame stage' - ready for bricking, windows and roof tiles!
Anyway, better dash. While my beloved Blues may be out of the finals, Saints had a good win tonight and I'm a little hoarse and tired from shouting. What can I say? Hot Saints and cold Pies.
