Spur Wing Shed House

The plumbers finally came and put in a couple of days, and disappeared again. Partly because they need me to order some tap fittings, which I have done, and mostly because business is more lucrative elsewhere. The tap fittings are taking much longer to appear. The price you pay for shopping around for the lowest price is that these firms do not have stock and order it in from other suppliers, or possibly straight from China, even though you are dealing with an Australian based firm. Anyway, I am getting enough materials in to keep the boys busy. The mini-orb ceiling below the deck has been installed, and more insulation and plaster linings have been been put in place. The latest pics from a couple of days ago are below.

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-west. 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.

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...

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.
