Sunny days are back again. The excess water pumped out to allow for big footings for the house columns to be poured. That is over three cubic metres per footing, or over four tonnes, bolted to each column.
Dramatic change
After six months of groundwork and preparation, the house shape emerges in just one day. The photos do not do the size justice. My first impressions as I drove up the street this afternoon was quite startling. For in introvert like me, the house is quite the opposite. Fortunately the few remaining gums in front soften the view. It is as tall as my Signal Box house in Armidale, but over twice the width and twice the length. My architects and I put a lot of thought in getting the proportions right. Not too big to be unaffordable, and not too small to appear too boxy. Four of the telescope mounts in the observatory were finished as well. The fourth wall of the shed also completed today. Just the roof, doors and trim to go. And I had to take the drone for a spin on such a day...
