Roof almost complete...



Hi all, another weekend has past and we spent both days over at the house, we have made some minor changes to a wall in the kitchen to allow for a larger fridge, also cleaned the inside. Most of Saturday was spent installing gutter mesh, not a very exciting job, but one best done whilst the scaffolding is in place. On Friday the Roof Installers must have been busy before the rain as they have all the roof sheets on and most of the ridge capping. The carpenters are due back on Monday to start on the hardy panelling, will keep you posted.

The roofing has started.....


Hi to all my followers. The roof is almost complete, the gutter's are done and the brick work is finished. This shot is taken from the back of the house looking towards the Alfresco Deck. Would be nice if all that dirt was gone....This weekends work involves roof ventilators and gutter guard, hope the weather holds out.

Scaffolding In Place



Friday last week the scaffolding was erected to allow the brickies to work on the upper level. The front is almost finished and the back alfresco wall has been completed. If the fine weather holds out I think they may be finished by the weekend. The second photo is taken from the dining family area looking out the rear door to the alfresco area showing the completed wall.
