Afternoon Photo


Yesterday the builders as back doing the internal mould out, doors and cupboards, skirting and the like. The other major job done today was the solar panels, coupled with the double glazed windows and full insulation the house should be energy efficient....Thanks heaps to Newcastle Solar for a very speedy and efficient install. Our system was connected to the grid on the 16th....Shame our Government wants to reduce our rebates, we are after all only trying to be more energy efficient.

Internal Finish

OK, Once again it has been a while since my last post....As you can see the painter has completed the textured finish on the brick work, the timber panelling and the door have been primed. On the inside the gyprockers have been very busy for a couple of weeks and have sheeted and finished the job on the 4th. The internal photo shows the kitchen area with the coffered ceiling, the pantry on the right and the fridge space on the left.

No Scaffolding.....



It has been a while since my last post, we have been busy with the internal rough-out. The plumbing, electrical and air-con are all done. Last weekend we insulated the walls and ran all the cables for the theatre and house speakers. The painter has started with the rockcote finish and hopes to be completed by weeks end. Today the gyprock arrived and the installers will start on Thursday and have plans to work over the weekend to get it done. The front photo shows the sealer white finish and the back view shows the completed colour.
