We have bricks

They turned up this morning. Due to start the brickwork on 11th April. 

  

     
 

Frame complete, roof almost done.

The frame is mostly complete, with a number of fixes needed but nothing to worry about. The roof guys turned up yesterday and have made great progress. Probably will finish it all off tomorrow.  Lookin gooood!

   
   

Frame still ticking along

The framework is taking longer than they anticipated, primarily due to the complicated 30 degree pitch roof. But, they are almost there and should be done this week. The safety rails for the roofing guys went up yesterday which is also a promising sign. 

Oh and the garage opening is around 230mm too far to the right as they have been working off old plans. They need to move the opening and change the slab so I’ll be interested to see how they fix that. I’m sure they can, just curious on the how.

   

 

Gutters on just in time for rain

Was great to come home yesterday and see the gutters and facia on our house.  The windows and other materials have been moved into the garage in preparation for the colorbond to arrive next week.

Lovely Melbourne weather

A storm overnight resulted in the fence and portaloo tipping over. Not fussed about the fence but the toilet spilled out making a mess. Yuk!

Framing progress pt2.

A little bit more done. Garage is up. Starting to see the size of the roofline.  

 
   

Framing progress

Still going on the frame. Weather has ranged from 43 degrees to 20 and rain. Crazy Melbourne weather. They guys have been working all the way through though so full credit to them.

Not that they have much choice. Deliveries are arriving on schedule whether the carpenters are ready on not.    
    
   
  
   
   
 

Framing has started

The timber for the frame arrived on Tuesday last week (1st March). Woohoo. 

    
    
 

Floor Plan

We love the original layout of the Vancouver 29 but needed some tweaks for us.

Some of the changes included:

• Removing the second Walk-In Robe (WIR)
• Added a door to the ensuite, smaller vanity, bigger shower
• Added a nib wall to the lounge
• Removed the support/post on the alfresco so its a corner stacker
• Extended the alfresco
• Squared off the return airvent for the heating
• Lots of window changes
