I see windows!

Well, as promised - windows started going in yesterday... here's the evidence.

View from bedroom 2 - with glass in the way!

Windows going in - not necessarily with glass in all yet...

And the other side...

Guest bathroom even has privacy.

Progress feels so slow at this stage!

Well, in the last week there has been some progress, but it still does feel like not a lot's happening. There's been more prep work done for the plaster cladding, and some of the axon cladding has started going up - in addition, the spouting has started appearing, and the ceiling battens have been installed. So - in reality, a fair bit happened in this last week.

We've been told by the electrician that pre-wire should happen this coming week, and the windows should start going in tomorrow - we shall see......

Cladding making progress

We have some gutters now too

Axon paneling going on

More external cladding goodness

Steel ceiling battens in place

Exterior cladding begins

Well, the roof is mostly done now. Just a few finishing touches needed for some details (like the flashing to actually make it watertight for example!). However, work is now underway on the cladding, with the wire-frame material for the plaster surface going up this last week.

On Thursday the battens for the plaster started going on

By the weekend, the wire mesh was partly there

Using the Stucco-rite system for the plaster sections

Still waiting for the deck to be waterproofed though

And windows and doors might be a good idea too

Yes, windows will help keep the weather out...

So much rain recently, the flow in the stream has been very strong

Roof nearrrrrrllllly done...

So, not a whole hell of a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks - the weather has been really poor... Still, apparently lots of stuff is ordered for delivery soon...  And at least as of this week all the roof steel is up - just the flashings to finish now.

Yay! no more roof gaps!

And from the other side...

You can see the batons being put on the games room wall for the plaster
