Solar Panels Installed

Week ending the 30 June, saw the Solar panel system installed on the roof. Fantastic really, given I won the system as the major prize at a recent home show. It is a 2.2kw Conergy system in total.

Second Story completed!

While we have been away, the builder has been busy! We've come home to have the second story completed and the roof framing done and now tiled! Here are a few pics of the second story (they are a little dark due to the roof being on, and the morning was rainy and overcast). The second story is nowhere near as exciting, other than the kids playroom it's just bedrooms.


Kid's Playroom (I can't wait to set this up!):

One of the kid's bedrooms, they are all roughly the same size, just one with a larger wardrobe:

Suspended Slab Pour

The last few weeks have seen the form-work for the suspended slab pour completed. Who would have thought it involved so much work! Plumbers, electricians and house smart-wiring was all completed. 7am on 9th April, the suspended slab concrete was poured, and we now have a good-looking second storey slab!
