So the outside of the house is nearly finished. Only the front door and surrounds for it and bit of paint missing. The decking and front entrance will be done this week as well and then it's time to start working indoors. The plasterer/painter has started his job finally so still think we'll be there for Christmas!!!
This is for family and friends, near and far, to keep up to date with our house building project!

Insulation
Today the last bit of insulation went in. It was blown in under the roof, in the attic space between the inside ceiling and the roof, 80 m3 in total. So now we can really start heating up the house. Our HVAC guy and electrician have made long waited appearances on site and hopefully we will have the underfloor heating working soon. Also the last two missing door handles were installed yesterday and now we are just missing our plasterer who should come onboard any day now! The cladding is done and painted in the house, and some of the windows already have the surrounds. The car port cladding is nearly done as well and next jobs then are to finish the window surrounds and corner cladding for the house. Then we will move on to do the decking and main entry.

The window frames
One window has a frame around it now and this is how they will all look as it was approved by Mr & Mrs B. Also some photos from downstairs after Mrs B's cleaning blast!

Heating is on
Here latest pictures from site: upstairs is nearly ready for plasterers/painters, only few walls missing the gyproc boards. Mrs B was on the dustpan & brush over the weekend and it looks nice and tidy now. Mr B was back painting, trying to get the outside cladding painted while the scaffolding is up. Fire has been kindled in the fireplace few times now and some electric
heaters are on so it's nice and warm inside.Went shopping for some lights over the weekend and also have ordered the downstairs toilet and wash basin and upstairs toilet. So all good in the building world!
