Photos, corrections

So apparently it was more like 20000L which went on the ground rather than into our rainwater tanks. (more expletives)

We visit the site with the kids most weekends. Building sites are wonderful entertainment for small children. Zoe played for ages with this bag of brackets, not to mention the mud and furniture free rooms for riding bikes in. It's also great to have them witness the process of building and all the steps which are required.

The site, especially after the rain, is becoming a tad messy. Those of you with millipede aversions beware. There are piles of assorted dust, debris and deceased small animals in every corner. Tim occasionally sweeps in vain, because it is always followed up with another barrage of sawdust/ small insects/ high caffeine and guarana drink containers

On a more positive note, the render on the exterior is now finished and looks excellent, just like a bought one. It is now the actual colour we selected, and, thankfully, we still like it!

Sorry No Postie

Many apologies that I have not posted before, no good excuses, but a lot has happened on the building site.

Tim would add many expletives in here, but as those of you in Adelaide know a couple of weeks ago here it rained (very unusual). This was fine and good, with the drainage connected to the rainwater tanks and the guttering ready to go, the tanks were waiting to be filled by nature's bounty. The only stumbling block was the absence of downpipes (which to this day are not in), and thus 12000 litres of water poured onto our roof and onto the ground. Big mess.

After Easter the ground around the house was still like a mudbath, so the gyprockers(who know's what they're actually called) couldn't do the eaves as planned, so they started the interior, which meant some rushed decisions re placings of light switches, heaters, etc etc. But it is going forward. And I will post some photos very soon. Promise. So the interior walls are going up, the insulation is in and everything is progressing well.
