Stacker Doors


To keep the costs down we decided on aluminium stacker doors for the lounge dining areas, also easier to screen than the bi-folds. In case you were wondering the cost difference was massive as in $10K plus compared to going with bi-folds here as well.

Bi-fold Doors Installed


Once again I'm trying to catch up with posting, there just aren't enough hours in the day at the moment. As you can see the bi-fold doors have been installed. We paid for 1 set and the other set was free with the Momentum package from Metricon. Interesting side note, because they have an odd number of sections one section acts as a normal door without having to open up everything. The left bi-fold is open in this way.

Windows & Doors Delivered



Checked the site late this afternoon to find all the external doors and windows except the wooden bifolds have been delivered so we should expect those will be fitted tomorrow. Nice to see they slipped them into the garage rather then leaving them outside.

More Plumbing Pictures


Waste for ensuite moved as promised (It's now very clear how far out it was).


Connections for gas hot water system.


Laundry tap connections and laundry tub waste connection.

Plumbing Rough-in Completed


Plumbing rough-in was started on Friday and completed today. Very happy with the work done as it all looks neat and with excellent workmanship throughout though it was lucky I touched base with the plumber early on Friday as the plan had our expensive shower rail way off to the left of centre.

Wrapped!


Had a run past the site and found frame has been wrapped in insulation and after a quick call to our site superviser found out plumbing rough in will start tomorrow.

Also received a call from Andy of Eden Earthworks to inform me he will be back onsite to glue down the capping on the retaining wall tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the finished result, should be good.

Roof completed





Roof completed today after a few days of work by a small team which also included working partly over the easter break. Block has been back filled around slab and we lost about 55 square metres of dirt from the rear of the block which makes things look much cleaner now.

Not expecting much more to happen during the rest of this week as next week looks to be a big one with plumbing, electrical, carpentry and brickwork booked in.
