Joinery installed

The windows and sliding doors have been installed. The electrical wiring is in, and we were out there today trying to figure out what extra cabling we need to put in for the theatre system. It's starting to get a feel about it now as bits and pieces are completed, and we're getting more excited about it.

The roofs on

Finally the roofs on. The builders have made good progress, and I was impressed to see them out working on it today (Saturday). I'm pretty sure they don't do that in NZ. This week the electrician is coming through, and possibly the air conditioning person. Paper lining should be starting to go up in preparation for the bricklayers starting July 1. Can't wait, because once the thing is enclosed we won't have to worry about wet weather slowing things down any more, and we really need somewhere to live as soon as possible.

More Roofing

More roofing structure has been going up. The actual sheeting should be going up tomorrow. The guttering is on and some of the fascia is starting to go up. Rob's also had an excavator in to cut the section back further on the end of the house, and relocate the dirt to the front of the house, extending the flat space in front of the entrance. The air-conditioner installer came through for a look on Sunday, and he provided some good advice, so hopefully that will be done properly.

Roof Joists

Roof joists are going on now the big rain has finally stopped. Weather's still a bit patchy, but at least things are progressing again, and not too wet. Roof should be going on a week Tuesday. Rob's going to buy the air conditioners this week so they can be installed when the roof's up.
