Now We Have A Lid


It has been all action here since our last update. The last two weeks have been a frenzy of activity. The carpenters have been in every day finalising the roof trusses, fitting the upper floor windows, and building our top deck.


More importantly, this week has been very exciting for Isabella as she started "big school". You can see her in the photo above just before we left for her first day. That is Uncle Adam in the background on the roof.


Speaking of which, Adam has been up over the last week & a half putting the roof on. He has done a great job and we are really happy with both the finished product and the colour we chose (jasper for all those interested).



Adam is putting the finishing touches on today, and we won't see him again for a couple of weeks until after the brickies and renderer finish.


The brickies are due to return on Tuesday....let's see if they actually do.
Finally, the image below was taken standing at our front door. It's a bit dark but if you look through the scaffold on the other side, you will be able to make out our view. Here you are looking through a hall, then through the lounge room, and then through the deck. We have a raked ceiling going from the lounge room over the deck and there will be 2 triangle windows sitting above the back stacked doors.
