The Skeleton

A picture says a thousand words, in other words lazy Jase doesnt feel like being his normal verbose self. 

• Frame 99% complete
• Most windows installed (monument grey for front in limestone and ultra silver for licorice brick remainder)
• Created variation for couple of casement windows in alfresco
• front door frame arrived/installed and was 820mm instead of 920mm, sent back
• stacker door track arrived/installed had screen tracks, we asked for none, sent back  
• met with the landscaper and I am a bit worried about the cost of a "few" plants and pavers, we shall see.

Bricks are said to be turning up this week but looking at the weather forecast I am feeling a little pessimistic

Taking Shape

The frame is almost complete with the guys expecting to finish this Friday. Louise and I have been minding a house just around the corner from the site and have been able to watch our house grow daily. It has been enjoyable to watch a pile of timber morph into our new home, we know there is a ways to go but prefer to face the construction challenges and overall timeframe with optimism.

A few hurdles including a mismeasured front door frame, an minor issue meaning that the stacker door tracks need replacing, a change of a couple of door sizes to better suit the bathroom space are all being handled and a last minute request to reposition a highlight window were all handled by our builder with a minimum of fuss.

The windows are all in place and we are happy with the choice of monument grey for the front with the limestone and ultra silver on the rear with the licorice brick. I belatedly decided that the alfresco would benefit from the morning sun and have asked for a variation which has been costed with casement and fixed window options and we are just weighing up the cost.

So far so good
