Linings started

Image
With the external cladding in place, linings have commenced. We have a looming problem in that after repeated attempts to get the plumber to do the first fix, he is proving to be allusive. We can commence some walls, but we will hit a brick wall soon, although I did not have any on the plans. Here are some pics of the linings in the garage: And here is some insulation in the Den, which is also the media room. It is going to be a lovely, cosy room on the ground floor with a big window to the north-east. And finally a couple of pics of the entry alcove. I had some blue gum flooring left over from the Maleny project, so naturally I decided to use up the flooring on the walls. It is looking very nice indeed.

Well, stone the crows, the metal cladding is finished!

Great progress this week. The boys finished the cladding at the shed end AND attached the corner flashings. The house is looking magnificent and sharp. We are waiting for garage doors to complete lockup. Next jobs are to line external entry area and then plaster garage and workshop. All of a sudden, finishing the house is looking feasible. Perhaps by Christmas, as they say...

Town side sheeting complete

Image
Sheeting is now about 80% complete. The townside gable is sheeted. Looking nice. Only shedside to go. I am very happy with it. This side is quite visible from the roads approaching, so good to get rid of the "builder's" blue, not to mention the protection from the weather, afforded by the cladding.

Above the deck sheeting

The final door frame went in this morning. It is for the bi-fold door exit on to the deck. This has allowed the cladding to proceed, which is a relief as it is the most visible expanse of the blue sarking. The final sandy colour is somewhat less of an eyesore.

Drone update

Image
Cladding now 60% done. Front is done and back wall almost done. Ends to complete now. Time to dust off the drone and do a quick whip around.
