Up goes the frame

Last Thursday we came home to find the frame laying near the slab and in the paddock. So much blue steel in so many places!

We thought that maybe on Friday they would start - as luck would have it, we received close on 6 inches of rain on Friday. As it turned out, it was a down day and Tuesday 27/1 was always start date for the frame. We were also meant to have our power switched over today, however for some reason this was not done, as such we received a call from the SS asking if they could run power from our current house.

By the time I was home from work, two men had nearly finished the outside of the frame. Between 4pm and 5:30pm, they all but finished the basic frame. At the rate they are going, we should start to see the roof taking shape tomorrow.

This afternoon was the first real moment that the actual build hit home. There is a photo below where Donna and I walked from the front door and looked through the back where the French doors will open up to that view. It looks amazing! It was a real 'wow' moment for both of us!

Yes, I can see you down the other end!
