Time to get Plastered

Well it has taken longer thn anticipated but with the brickwork, stone and roof tiling complete we have seen some action this last week on the inside.

 

 In the last week or so we have had all the pre-wiring for electrical, data and alarm system. Finalising and checking the location of every light, switch and powerpoint was a little time consuming and ponderous but this really highlighted how much I dont know about lighting. I just hope that I have a happy medium and not a dimly lit house with flashlights required to get around nor a brightly lit abode in which sunglasses will be mandatory.

 

We now also have all of the insulation installed. In addition to the sarcing that was installed prior to the roof tiles we have R4 Pink batts in the ceiling. We then have R2.5 in all external wall cavities with R1.5 for internal walls except for around the gym, laundry and master bedroom where we installed a specialised sound proof insulation batt to suppress sound penetrating these walls

Today the gyprock started to be installed with the master bedroom, ensuite, laundry, bedroom 3, master bathroom and gym mostly skinned . At this rate I would expect that they will be finished the gyprocking by the end of the week, fingers crossed.

I have also finalised the airconditioning and will be installing a Breezair evaporative unit ducted throughout the house. I am trying to decide on a bbq and range hood for the alfresco but have been quite surprised at the cost of these items, the search continues but I do like the beefeater bbq and schweigen range hoods but I dont know that our budget will stetch that far.
