Interior progress

While the brickwork still isn't progressing the interior has been moving in leaps and bounds. The waterproofing is going in the wet areas, and the tiles have been delivered, and are ready for installation in the bathrooms and laundry area. The ceiling scotia has been completed throughout the house. No sign of the skirting boards yet, but I'm not sure if they're waiting for the floor tiles to go in before doing that? Rob was saying she'd seen the kitchen fitout being delivered the other day, so that could well be in soon too. The brickwork should be resuming soon, since the Termimesh looks like it's finally been installed, and glass pieces have been poured into the footing spaces around the pad and behind the base layer of bricks.

Interior walls

The interior wall lining has started to go in. It's all taking shape now, and we're starting to get a feel for the size of the spaces now, instead of trying to imagine it from the plans.

Interior wall lining

Despite all the rain and disruption at the moment, the builder's have been making fantastic progress on the interior, and we're finally starting to get a feel for what we have wrought. We're very sure now it's not too small! The interior lining is in, with the gib-stopping done, but no skirting yet. The bricklayers were setting up on Sunday, but the weather isn't forecast to be great, so we're not sure how much progress they're going to be able to make on the exterior.

Moving ahead with lining

We had some wet weather again earlier in the week, but it's finally cleared up and things are moving again. The paper lining has gone up on the exterior. The interior wall lining has started to appear. Luckily we've managed to get the plumber to come back and put in the water line for the fridge, and the cable guy has run the HDMI for the media room. Unfortunately, they couldn't run the cable the length we were wanting, and they weren't prepared to put in a signal booster, so we've had to remove the fan from the media room, and go back to a ceiling-mounted arrangement for the projector. We're getting excited as things are taking shape, and I can't wait to see the brickwork start to go in.
