Walls, Floors, Windows and ...Trusses (to come)

This week there has been great progress. The rain, but not the heat and the humidity, stayed away. At least most days the nor-easter comes in about midday and hopefully cools everyone down. (although not today!!)  And yes I know that the trusses are for the roof (Don't panic Brent) and will not come for a while but I like practising my building terms. And besides it sounded better in the title!


















The flooring which I am informed is called yellow tongue is in place which means no more balancing on bearers and joists (more building terms practice). The garage wall has gone up and today the frames have been put in place. Now we can see the outline of rooms. So exciting!!!.

 On Friday 17th December some windows arrived and were put in!! These are some of the downstairs windows. The louvres are minus the glass until lock-up (I assume). Now winding down to Christmas but deliveries suggest maybe the upstairs bearers and joists might go in and then yellow tongue flooring. Progress today has been great thanks to Brent and the boys. Hope they all have a Merry Christmas!!
