4m Above Street Level



At more than a month since my last update, we have had 2 weeks of intense action and the rest where absolutely nothing happened. The photo above is a little dark (& crooked), but it does show that we now have both a top level, and also roof trusses, so you can sort of make out how the finished house will look.

These shots were taken last weekend and since then, the trusses are finished, and the house is covered in scaffold. The steel arrived for the back deck and roof yesterday, and Adam (my brother) is putting the colourbond roof on next week. So we will have colour.

The photo below shows the back of the house. The rooms are (as you look at them):

Bottom left - Isabella's room
Bottom middle - rumpus room
Bottom right - Our bedroom until the kids settle in, and then Ben's
Top left - Main bedroom, eventually will be ours, but is Nanny's if you ask the kids
Top middle - Living room
Top Right - Dining room, with kitchen behind it.

The is a big deck (don't say that if you are Kiwi) coming off the top & bottom and the middle roofline will also come out over the top of it (hence the steel today)

It also shows how much landscaping we also have to do!!!
