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

Image
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.
