9.03.12. Finally a sunny day. Maybe Dave should come to site more often if he is going to bring the sunshine with him. Heaps has happened in this last fortnight as you can see from the photos. Glass is now in all windows and we also have doors.

We have now reached lock up stage!!!

When I say we it almost sounds like I have actually had a part in making this happen. Of course the progress has had nothing to do with me. Steve and Wes have done an amazing job. We have had so much rain in this last fortnight and still they carry on regardless. I don't think they notice it any more. This next week will see exterior linings and drainage being worked on prior to interior linings starting in about a fortnight.

19.02.12 The thing you notice most when you arrive on site these days is all the timber that has been erected since the last visit. These photos were taken on the 24 Jan and 3 Feb. Just two weeks after my last post. Timber goes up and so do the tarps.

13.01.12. Friday the 13th. Most of the framing is now up. From the photos the roof framing is clearly visible. The interior shots show the highlight windows above the kitchen and in the kids' play area.

5.01.12. A successful couple of days were had with Lynette and Vanessa both being on site. Two days were spent nutting out details on site, resolving joinery, and selecting fixtures and fittings.
Too busy to do anything as frivolous as taking photos, luckily I have one photo of everyone together to mark the occasion.
