Plywood and Fibro Walls

The honey coloured sheeting is plywood and the rest is fibro which has been painted a
red/terracotta colour. Bit adventurous for us Jells!

Polished Floors - Kitchen and Living Area

The Back Deck

The sliding door at the end is Les' and my bedroom.
Beside it is where the laundry will be.

The larger of the sliding doors is entrance to the living area.
The smaller door is the entrance to the kitchen.

The back deck is my favourite part of the house.
I can see myself sitting outside with a cup of coffee and a good book.
Tia loves it. She collects sticks from the back yard and deposits them all over the deck.

Front Deck and Stairs

There's 17 steps!  I think we are going to get a stair-lift.

New Roof for Old and New

Roof on - Walls going up

The Roof

We got a new silver roof on the old house too!

More Framework and the Workshop

A Few Bits and Pieces

Went looking at bathroom cabinets and toilets on Saturday plus tap fittings, kitchen sinks and cooktops. It's all a bit overwhelming. I was glad to get home. Today Les went to the auctions and bought tap fittings and a shower hose for the downstairs shower in his workshop. Roof should be finished by Friday 22nd July. All being well that is!

The Framework

Hard to believe we'll be living up there!

Concreting at Last

The workers hard at it!

Finished and looking good!

Getting Ready for Concrete

Patiently waiting for the concrete trucks!

Retaining Wall

Getting stuck into retaining wall!

Behind the wall is going to be our back yard - where the ladders are laying. Talk about pocket handkerchief size, but will be big enough for Tia to run around in and practically no gardening!!

Finishing the Kitchen Wall

It was very, very noisy today while the boys were working on this wall.

I'm not mad yet, but well on the way!

Busy Doing Block Work

Block Work Delivered

Things are at happening at last!

Pouring the Footings

It's finally stopped raining for long enough to pour the footings!

Update

Here I am back again with an update. Have been slow in getting these photos on the blog. These are photos of the new be-fold door in the kitchen. There's actually light in the kitchen now and we have a view even if it is only of the site.

By the way the rain still keeps on falling!

Progress

Progress has come to a halt because it hasn't stopped raining! Darn! The quarry looks like the beginnings of a dam. The roof for the existing house has been delivered, but there again the builder couldn't start that because of the rain.

Now it's the day before Easter and the rain seems to have stopped. I am glad for the campers. I just hope it's gone forever so our house can be built..
