Spur Wing Shed House

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.

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.

The weather has turned mild which is nice, however our progress remains slow. In the last week and a half we finished the flashing for the big front windows, as well as clad the front ground floor with the Colorbond sheeting. We are now at 20% clad. With only one guy, on the job this week, Andy, my trusted labourer for over a year now, we have been looking for another guy with more experience in the roofing area to help speed things along. Supply of sheeting has been also delayed due to lack of delivery drivers I am told. So all round, labour is in short supply in this booming little town. These are pics from today, a dull day. and here is a picture at yesterdays sunset:

A little more cladding done to complete the ground floor SW wall.

At last we begun the cladding today. Only 5% of the house covered today. We should have a fair whack done by the end of June. That would be so good to see, as the blue sarking is a bit of an eyesore on the side of the hill visible to about 4,000 of my fellow inhabitants living north of the municipal refuse facility. We are tackling the easist bit first, being on the ground floor and under the deck. Beautiful sunny winter day today, but the winds are picking up over the next few days, which may be a problem.
