The Pace Slows a Little!

After what had been a very quick few weeks up to the final framing stage, things just slowed down for a while. Which is good because no sooner had we cleared the cheque for the base stage, we were being asked to pay for the framing stage.

In a move that surprised us, we next saw the guttering going up - a process that took nearly a week to get right. Whilst I don't have any photos to show just of the guttering (as exciting as it sounds) we did go down and look at the colours we had chosen (Paperbark for the gutters and Surfmist for the the fascia) we just didn't take any photos.

Next was the battening (which strangely I felt should have been part of the framing stage) started. This also took nearly a week and it was hard to see what they had actually done on a daily basis.

This Monday saw the arrival of our sarking (insulation) and also our steel roof. In the photos below you can see that Monday was nearly half the roof done. Tuesday saw nearly the entire done. Wednesday - not really sure, we have some Whirly Birds now, but the roof is still not finished and with this massive rain event coming Thursday evening, I sure hope they finish it before then.

Also arriving Tuesday were our doors and windows - very exciting!
