Week 16: Slow Week

More eaves deliveries for the ground floor. Other than that, don't think much was done on site....

Week 13: Down Pipes

This week, the down pipes and gutters were completed on the second story. Hoping that the cladding will be done next week so that we can move on to the next stage! Just want to start on the inside of the home because I know for a fact that is the longest stage which takes forever.

Just want to move in already - can time just fly past please!

Took some snaps of the whole house and the granny flat!

Week 9: Scaffolding and some extra pics

So, this weekend on our visit, we saw that the scaffolding was up and ready for hubby for Monday morning to brick up the second story. Roofing is also booked in for Tuesday after the Easter Long Weekend. Kinda in love with the new place already even though it is no where near finished. This is so exciting and I just cant wait until it is complete!

Week 8.2: More Bricks!

Bricking continues as hubby does his best to get as much done as quickly as possible.

Starting to finally look like a house!

Cant wait to move in - I'm already picturing where my current existing furniture would go.

Week 7: Upstairs & Roof Framing

This week, upstairs and roof framing was complete!

Didn't get a chance to take any photo's as I was super excited when I got the the site that I forgot my phone in the car! Then once I jumped back into the car it got dark so there was really no point.

Been so busy at work lately that I haven't had much time to concentrate on what has been happening with the build. This week, the brickies (my hubby) will be on site to start bricking up. He has been so excited and actually can't wait to start!

I really cannot wait until this section of the build is done so we can move on to the next quickly and smoothly. The only worry I have now is the internal finishings taking forever. I know we still have a while until we get to that stage in the build but everyone I have asked says it takes such a long time to get everything done.

I would literally go there and help as much as I could every weekend if they allowed it!

Looking forward to getting the house finished as quickly as possible as the place we are currently staying at is really getting on my nerves. Cant wait to move to the new area and start fresh.

I have also been looking at some furniture to slowly start purchasing before moving in so our house is not totally empty and everything is just super expensive so I have been putting it off and just trying to save the money so hopefully once we do finish, we can have some money to spend on furnishing the place.

Until my next post, lets hope I can save some money from the next pay day haha!

Week 6: Framing!

Woohoo! what a great start to the week. Hubby was in the area and decided to drop by the block to see if there has been any progress on the block since last week.
So happy to see these photos come through from him today! Frames for downstairs are up and to our surprise, they will be using steel beams so there will be no creaks upstairs!
I've already started picturing what furniture I would put in which rooms!

Week 5: Firewall between Granny Flat & Main Dwelling

This Monday was a good day for hubby and I as hubby was contacted by our SS to start on the firewall between the main dwelling and the granny flat (hubby is a bricklayer).

So, he smashes that out all under a day and sent me these progress photos as an update. SS said the frames should be delivered next Monday although we were both under the impression that it was going to be delivered this week. As long as they deliver and start on site with the frame next week, I am happy.

Hubby is booked in to brick up mid March so hopefully, the carpenters will be done by then and hoping that the weather holds up for our sake.
