Thursday 7th August
Wow, what a few days! So much action we've 15 photographs in this update, so comments added below to each photos. Beers all round tomorrow!
So first up, the floor is in! Exciting! It's a Queensland Spotted Gum hard wood floor, secret nailed to a ply base (see earlier photos) with a waterproofing layer underneath. It's still to be sanded and polished which will hopefully be on Monday.
And the turf is down. There goes our water allowance of only 170 litres a day while we water it in and keep our fingers crossed it will take.
And around the back is finished too. We've just covered the old grass area with rocks as we will eventually deck this area. Less to mow... Wahoo.
The flooring is underway. The waterproofing sheet and underlayer of 15mm ply is down. And what a lovely sight - a big stack of hard wood.
And we have electricity! A few niggles with the electrics but the lights and power works. So say hello to the Famous lights... We'll obviously be working under the 4 row lights and the meeting area is under the coral feature light.
Landscaping is in progress. A good pile of top soil and the trenches around the house have been filled with drainage rocks. The back yard has become a victim of Sam in his bob cat!
The bathroom is complete! Might be my favourite room in the whole house.
The stairs are also complete. More to paint. Joy.
And to end on a funny one. In attempting to move the dunny from our house to another building project down the road, it fell off the bobcat, landing upside down and spilling its contents down the street. The smell was horrific! Very funny though.
