Not too far from Lock-up now, week ending 29/9/13

We can't be too far from lock-up now, the white set has been completed and the house is actually starting to look more like a home than a construction site. Fingers crossed, the week ahead should see the place officially locked-up.

In the meantime, some pics of my close, but yet so far, home to be:

Week Ending 1/9/13

It kind of feels like not much has moved in the last fortnight, but in short, there has been a heap of plumbing, electrical and smart-wiring passed through from upstairs to downstairs. Also the roofing was basically completed on both the Alfresco and Garage.

Electrical and smart-wiring heaven:

Upstairs structurally completed

Upstairs is structurally completed now, with the windows and doors now installed and the scaffolding taken down. Few other bits I can see done are:

- ceiling and cornices have been installed upstairs

- downpipes, eaves painted and the texture colour applied to the second storey 

- the air-con guys also came back through and have completed the ducting through to downstairs.

And just my luck, that there seems to be quite a magazine collection in my back alfresco. Someone is clearly enjoying the place before I get too!
