Also our tilers started this morning and should only take 2-3 days to finish everything so by the end of the weekend we can start unpacking things into the living areas - we will just dump everything into the garage for the meantime. Also we are having to tape garbage bags over the windows in the bedroom as our blinds are not being installed till next Tuesday...but as we dont really have that many neighbours it really isnt that much of an issue.<br /><br />Once we have the internet connected at our new home I will post some pics (or maybe I will sneak a few into work with me) but I will probably wait until a room is unpacked before taking lots of shots. We still have heaps to do, flooring, fencing, blinds, landscaping....this list never seems to endD + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-77517059923433681662010-03-08T14:59:00.002+11:002010-03-08T15:01:29.873+11:00HANDOVER booked!!!Well we are really close now as today I picked up the cheque from the bank for the final payment and we confirmed with Wisdom that Handover will be at 3:30pm on Wednesday 10th March!!!!<br /><br />Problem for me is that this is my dear wife's birthday....how am I ever going to be able to top this as a birthday present?!?!?<br /><br />Many pictures will follow once we move in.D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-8506141303916703092010-03-02T12:18:00.003+11:002010-03-02T12:44:23.353+11:00PCI Done!Well this morning we met our Supervisor out on site at 7:30am to do our Practical Completion Inspection and we are pleased to say there we did not have too many things that need fixing up - mainly a few paint touchups. They was also a tradie there today going around and making sure all the windows/sliding doors work properly.<br /><br />The main thing to come out of this is that they should have everything ready for us to have handover sometime next week! All we are waiting on is for our interim occupation certificate to come through so we can send our final invoice off to the bank to release the funds.<br /><br />So very exciting!!D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-5780657688077810992010-02-26T07:01:00.005+11:002010-02-26T07:11:06.476+11:00Driveway Done!As promised the concretors were back yesterday and poured our driveway and alfresco and we love how it has turned out.

That was the one thing F mentioned - they were a little behind in the driveway department due to the constant rain we have been having. However he still felt that we should have it done as planned.<br /><br />We took some time going around each room and making sure everything was proceeding as planned and he was able to give us a rundown on what was happening over the next week and it looks like we will have one tradie or another on site for the next week or so getting everything finalised. He also said that we should have a date locked in for our PCI sometime next week!!!<br /><br />My DW is so happy with F as she feels like he has everything under control and that all of her concerns will be answered/dealt with. Whereas with B she was always worried that he would forget about it.<br /><br />Oh and yes I did manage to get some pics<br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDZTwxQmmePSbczHdCejShWYCtRQ_mwwN9PdK5ycT2tbHBz7xqzmRaoobvnWu1bdw2MPWLZOrxkp3w4kvbQRKct7zb-6eLsVKlM6oKcHNHd0ZAudws8kvtLDV8OjLfnp50I3_Myy_E47QE/s1600-h/door+with+handle.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 214px;

We still need to have our downpipes fitted and we could see the bath through our study window, but a lot of it looks done. Other things that we noticed were that the proper locks/door handles have been put on all the external doors as well as the railing for the upstairs balcony being fitted. Unfortunately due to it being dark we couldn't take any photos but we are going to try and get there in the next day or so and hopefully we will catch someone on site.<br /><br />So the list as it stands is:<br />Tiling -... done.<br />Electrical fit out - done<br />Taps and Baths - mostly done<br />Door handles and locks - done<br />Pantry/Wardrobe fit out - booked for week starting 8/2<br />Glass splashback in the kitchen -... measured.<br />Carpet -<br />Driveway -<br />Installation of Appliances -<br />Shower screens -... measured.D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-44350471278232688502010-02-07T09:24:00.003+11:002010-02-07T09:31:03.444+11:00No Scaffolding!!Popped past the house yesterday and found the tilers hard at work finishing off all the grouting and the tiles for the front porch area as well.

We are really happy with how it looks and think that once the rest of the painting/render is done it will look fantastic.<br /><br />Also we saw through the window that our kitchen (and assume bathroom vanities) have been delivered! Hopefully they can get them fitted in the next day or two so the tiling can start next week as per what our SS had hoped.

Mainly all the doors have been fitted along with all the skirting boards and architraves and the waterproofing in the laundry. This leads us to believe that this should also have been done upstairs but as we cannot get it to check we will just have to hope.<br /><br />Unfortunately I do not have any pictures as it was absolutely bucketing down with rain and we were just grabbing glimpses through windows. We will try and catch a tradie on site sometime in the next week or two so we can get in and get some pics.<br /><br />So the next stage for us I believe should be the delivery of all our kitchen cabinets followed by the tiling!!! So very exciting!D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-41189109130953904572009-12-23T16:38:00.003+11:002009-12-23T16:50:10.467+11:00Locked Up and Stairs!!So we are now officially at lockup stage as all our external doors (except the garage door) have been fitted and the place can be closed up for the xmas break! Its exciting, but also bit of a bummer as unless a tradie is there we will be unable to get in to grab pics when things get done.<br /><br />When I was there today I found a guy there working on the cornices and he had finished about half the house - said he would stay as late as possible and would probably be back early in Jan to finish it all off as he would have about 1/2 a days work left after today. He was also under the impression that the waterproofing was still scheduled for tomorrow but whether or not it will actually happen he couldn't say.<br /><br />Also some of the internal doors/architraves had been started and....wait for it.....the stairs have been fitted. So no more climbing up and down the ladder! It looks really good and we are really happy we chose to fit a door from the study for a storage area as there is quite a bit of room under there.<br /><br />As this is likely to be our last update for the DECADE I will finish this off with a<br /><br />MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br /><br />We will be back in Jan with hopefully lots and lots of pics as we get closer and closer to moving into our new home!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQObzXrdg4IEcXHYsZZhG7o4FQ29-FbeMzMlIdUSWH6z5uhNrPXB8uO7A_dDLZKyrRWJKaqr6E8pbG9VEecZJSgaAQruVEMehA-yi18o0HZboLj65pWv5_HF8jPLQXN-2YVTsFIYi8_v9e/s1600-h/front+door.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 214px;

It was a pleasant surprise to find a whole team of gyprockers working on our place on early Saturday morning when we went out to the block.....what was a bigger surprise was to find them still working at 5pm on Sunday afternoon!!! They were just finishing up when we got there and when we asked about why they were working on a Sunday they said it is because the stairs were being done on Monday!!<br /><br />So it looks like we will still make lockup for tomorrow as apart from the stairs the only others things to be done is the waterproofing and fitting the doors!<br /><br />Oh and I did manage to take a few pics ;)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKCnjfLeOx4vzsyZP_C3FiAAHI7F9ZRPaG0exATVjc34AOdzoBbUCcI64oiLcX5thUwAIGGrHmDKWAelIUareUfryL9vPxZPU0MLTaY9wLwUzy91tQkPmDPlZZ8s5eyXPwz_emIEzxR5G/s1600-h/facade+almost+done.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

The only thing done since the 1/12 was the plumber came back and fixed a few things that we were not happy with after his initial fitout.<br /><br />Well all that changed as of last Friday when the electrician (who is a nasty piece of work - however that is a story for another time) came out and did his rough in and yesterday the carpenters were back working on the rest of the eaves/cladding along with the guys installing all of the insulation.<br /><br />I had to drive out to the house this morning and ensure all the cables for the HT room were sorted as according to our SS the gyprock was going to be delivered today and possibly may even start going in today. Sure enough when I got there around 8am the truck was there and the guys were unloading all the boards to both up and down stairs. The carpenters were also there finishing off their work. I managed to have a quick chat with them and they felt they would be done by around lunch time and they were under the impression that they gyprockers were due today as well....so fingers crossed they turn up!<br /><br />Oh and I managed to grab a couple of quick shots while I was there as well.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnCpSr5tX3bIlVW8d2hZVEOvolI9p-j-nGsdWLgT65hq8F2_N3Kh2zKbLANMIDbQDlctzpjDZXU0aBh9rs8x-HAPQlPjjxfoINjh0ETIFsBytKrIOx9LijAjfJLMoff9Z0w3bkLGDuxLv/s1600-h/boys+hard+at+work.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

They are due back again today to finish off the tiles and then the rest of the bricks are due to be cleaned along with the carpenters to do the lower eaves.<br /><br />We also receieved our kitchen plans last week and with only a couple of small changes (like cupboards to pot drawers) we were able to sign that off on Friday which means the sparky can be booked for his rough in sometime in the next week or so. After that they can then put the insulation in followed by the gyprock. We are getting an inspection done by Howard so that will be in there somewhere as well.<br /><br />On Saturday my cabler and I went back to the house and ran all the cabling for the security system that we are installing instead of the standard one which took most of the day and it felt really good to be back at the house working on it again. We only have one or two things to tidy up prior to the gyprock going up and then nothing till after the painting has been done when we will have to do the fitout.<br /><br />According to our SS the plan is to get the whole house plastered by the time they shut down for Xmas and if everything goes smoothly perhaps even a little more done, but if they get the plastering done I will be happy at this point.<br /><br />Of couse I have some pics to show the progress ;)<br /><br /><br />All the scaffloding came down last week.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFdF8chY7izN92Wzyr33R9SbPiPFoicTqn7YCseSQdf_LOt7E4nOVh9YeJ5IkGMuoz0AQjtk6iR5_jrzafxm5IuRALuvMeUbZpeNi5mBAlYKLraCH8z6BwvQqq0K4nh6Eo_7tkhGqCg0f1/s1600/No+Scaffold.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

I must say that it felt really good to be working on our house rather than just looking at it :)<br /><br />Whilst we were there we also ran all the speaker wire for the Home Theatre as well as for the alfresco. We also planned the run for the HDMI in the HT room however the cable itself will not be put in place till right at the last minute to avoid anyone just deciding to help themselves to my new cable.<br /><br />No pics at this stage as I forgot to take the camera (slaps forhead) but I will make sure we get some shots of it on our next visit later in the week.D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-85847509133205801952009-11-19T13:48:00.003+11:002009-11-19T14:07:22.203+11:00Pic FestWell we made it out to the block yesterday for our regular Wednesday visit and discovered that they had completed around half of the upper eaves along with around 1/3 of the cladding which was a bit of a surprise as we were not expecting the cladding to be done yet. Both sections appear to already be painted so perhaps they are booked for a second coat today as our SS mentioned the painters were booked for Wednesday...<br /><br />Also while they were there it appears that all of the external door frames have been fitted along with the cavity sliding door in the laundry and they have also fitted some extra strips of timber between the studs where we may wish to wall mount a TV later which was a nice touch. They have also removed all of the supporting beams from within each room which were previously secured to the floor - this makes moving around the house so much easier and also gives you more of a feel as to how big each room is.<br /><br />Now we just await the lower roof to be done so fingers crossed the weather starts to be a little more cooperative from here until Xmas.<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJWBTn6KgWW9sxFgfJzL9NOJjgXozDZsus3ZpRmNK-qCOnuZUu1UlInYKebXWXfSCinEGjyqf8gfHX1J_jDS4g1knLVAgHhRenI0HZai3tvrU59wlV-eEZ_ZLKwefGSZOQI36Ou58uE41/s1600/front+cladding.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

After that it can rain as much as it likes as they will be working inside and undercover.<br /><br />They were able to completely finish off the top floor roof tiles and have lowered the scaffolding to give the access to the eaves. Also the plumber has been and run all his pipework for all the bathrooms, showers etc and I must say it looks a little weird to see your houses "guts"<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJM3dEfkTcLsY1_8SjctPBpArw3FQqBHjuusqvCV2sUD_VdjsfraI0cy6nkJvmgSNF74hmU37SyQBJM9al08wuV6Q7M9LLTY6yNv0u_KG1OzCrQqpbuTk-4imTLZNXkJ9Y046VayFhfkwO/s1600-h/roof.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401674533491899810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJM3dEfkTcLsY1_8SjctPBpArw3FQqBHjuusqvCV2sUD_VdjsfraI0cy6nkJvmgSNF74hmU37SyQBJM9al08wuV6Q7M9LLTY6yNv0u_KG1OzCrQqpbuTk-4imTLZNXkJ9Y046VayFhfkwO/s320/roof.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGD3t9yx8i8f4T_ACkifESb6vRy81O9GG2Mzfq-YczE7Ayt4m9v9gBMMjT-DgG6ssboWYIUJvaQLdVUMKBBpZN2Qq6hYH8RnV0AjJEXhXAZ9rtViDXL4Fuo6R2z2wNR-N7LTAEETc1VybN/s1600-h/roof2+.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401674538324703234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGD3t9yx8i8f4T_ACkifESb6vRy81O9GG2Mzfq-YczE7Ayt4m9v9gBMMjT-DgG6ssboWYIUJvaQLdVUMKBBpZN2Qq6hYH8RnV0AjJEXhXAZ9rtViDXL4Fuo6R2z2wNR-N7LTAEETc1VybN/s320/roof2+.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRKld5H5teCBR9ikjhSLTYz_JEdWyw3oz-lK-fuuA4LfLe5DwbAcjqbNgyBVRU45ieyb1_JB08NYrRkUoHWLEwL_mFjLHbcCbzX9PWl8N5Zh2X3ImPL7RzhQ8RcXQr9W4Nh4g9TwKTF_QA/s1600-h/pipework.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401674540903922978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRKld5H5teCBR9ikjhSLTYz_JEdWyw3oz-lK-fuuA4LfLe5DwbAcjqbNgyBVRU45ieyb1_JB08NYrRkUoHWLEwL_mFjLHbcCbzX9PWl8N5Zh2X3ImPL7RzhQ8RcXQr9W4Nh4g9TwKTF_QA/s320/pipework.jpg" /></a> </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAOcWNqH-J8UzjufyaqrUh6eLttdMm3TeqPlQJVJrJCjgxguXZhVrIx_H-gJtvdIv4QqLYtlO6wgQjNojri3w8lwBGSh9cslWPJxnmaxImmFtTLUOagX_spE6gJDMR8pmPWp9TrqFRqWc/s1600-h/pipework+2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401674552609208450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAOcWNqH-J8UzjufyaqrUh6eLttdMm3TeqPlQJVJrJCjgxguXZhVrIx_H-gJtvdIv4QqLYtlO6wgQjNojri3w8lwBGSh9cslWPJxnmaxImmFtTLUOagX_spE6gJDMR8pmPWp9TrqFRqWc/s320/pipework+2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHh86zuVBMXFwiY0viP0DJS2Q-ZX_wS3HsoCkf793CupOCR3WN5srI2B-36kVFaysA9GTd0V82bBfvszXUFxmp5k8sX1EyzUzuczBtX7RHuC8-jvaYLZqptaqCUdGXFI17njtBAJ52T0W5/s1600-h/exhaust.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401674555453834066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHh86zuVBMXFwiY0viP0DJS2Q-ZX_wS3HsoCkf793CupOCR3WN5srI2B-36kVFaysA9GTd0V82bBfvszXUFxmp5k8sX1EyzUzuczBtX7RHuC8-jvaYLZqptaqCUdGXFI17njtBAJ52T0W5/s320/exhaust.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-85245907796113242392009-11-03T06:45:00.004+11:002009-11-03T06:53:08.469+11:00Roof started!Well they finally started on our roof today and managed to get quite a bit done, from laying the sarking to getting 1/2 the tiles in place as well as getting the other 1/2 neatly stacked waiting to be finished off. Hopefully the top floor will be done today as it is supposed to rain later. Will probably go past on Wednesday after work to see what has been done.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjish81q3wClXy8gh740tcvH06Ovjn9ADzLMrHCi4iP4vkZKEDk-LtudUN77RaluuRB1jA3GNcjdGjW4UPe45hOuNICOzsyoSLbYW_sWGA-ybMFQbj8Oobece4ncMT83k25ybeqQ4fH99eC/s1600-h/Roof+1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399595144195922898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjish81q3wClXy8gh740tcvH06Ovjn9ADzLMrHCi4iP4vkZKEDk-LtudUN77RaluuRB1jA3GNcjdGjW4UPe45hOuNICOzsyoSLbYW_sWGA-ybMFQbj8Oobece4ncMT83k25ybeqQ4fH99eC/s320/Roof+1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7CZTSEA_J4USMAFdmDMa5nXPobQxoWRtUZcfFbih0D7nWR2xapVtZtKm2w2bYD_Llvgjv68OIithZ69tt4MK-V3rm8NEbt9BRfx09X9RfM3sa21f7xFc0R86LRgiGbr-mvYcZPBgvT7i/s1600-h/roof+2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399595145679011250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7CZTSEA_J4USMAFdmDMa5nXPobQxoWRtUZcfFbih0D7nWR2xapVtZtKm2w2bYD_Llvgjv68OIithZ69tt4MK-V3rm8NEbt9BRfx09X9RfM3sa21f7xFc0R86LRgiGbr-mvYcZPBgvT7i/s320/roof+2.jpg" /></a><br /><div> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvZzpRM1Di_RcUQcmie5Bgg-7jwLRXXywFbax-VoyLqe1BxVGeBLENpl0eLswf2jh0I5AXxZVpguG2P07dccXVn5lxn03r7LGkX3DbxGMmISGtpCZlk9AZlMYKwhm5CFiG2ksYccFgoJX/s1600-h/roof+3.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399595152883836930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvZzpRM1Di_RcUQcmie5Bgg-7jwLRXXywFbax-VoyLqe1BxVGeBLENpl0eLswf2jh0I5AXxZVpguG2P07dccXVn5lxn03r7LGkX3DbxGMmISGtpCZlk9AZlMYKwhm5CFiG2ksYccFgoJX/s320/roof+3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fiYT2ewjtnWwRrFATC_RA6GSPVCL4lzdyLqRe4UMdzhutM1yfCniIN5Rn9iY11TeEDTEowyXrEpcy43OzwAhfNTiz5PnxxC_Qbi4UvoRyBPv5fnwXwHkz8d-Razr7stAd-Ne0FpPbdiX/s1600-h/roof+4.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399595157410549506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fiYT2ewjtnWwRrFATC_RA6GSPVCL4lzdyLqRe4UMdzhutM1yfCniIN5Rn9iY11TeEDTEowyXrEpcy43OzwAhfNTiz5PnxxC_Qbi4UvoRyBPv5fnwXwHkz8d-Razr7stAd-Ne0FpPbdiX/s320/roof+4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92dpsZ8xX0NiQW2i1D2HnO4Lph_rS4nitzWH5n88KtW6yZS7LFnbxvpRtbizSyBBCdUl0JmBvYK7RXycTVmaWmOqv04ZL7uRElOAFUwSv9bpE0g9MYNHOJTnRf0dlyDEXXlKOi6mHKSrx/s1600-h/roof+6.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399595655568369378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92dpsZ8xX0NiQW2i1D2HnO4Lph_rS4nitzWH5n88KtW6yZS7LFnbxvpRtbizSyBBCdUl0JmBvYK7RXycTVmaWmOqv04ZL7uRElOAFUwSv9bpE0g9MYNHOJTnRf0dlyDEXXlKOi6mHKSrx/s320/roof+6.jpg" /></a><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFBmqB7wA9dfQpqRnxyDh4r3CELgooeyX8_PrBNRszobttKlK0slyb_IRyD1jv-FW_MMzb4a-cfEBQV5H3y25BCP1Z7ouANXDIUtcTrszfIZdn_DSgxpG-xMe5S4qhzZQLQHZdOM4sV6r-/s1600-h/roof+5.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399595132220370002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFBmqB7wA9dfQpqRnxyDh4r3CELgooeyX8_PrBNRszobttKlK0slyb_IRyD1jv-FW_MMzb4a-cfEBQV5H3y25BCP1Z7ouANXDIUtcTrszfIZdn_DSgxpG-xMe5S4qhzZQLQHZdOM4sV6r-/s320/roof+5.jpg" /></a> </div></div></div></div></div>D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896686392533768897.post-9814289289709960122009-10-29T07:01:00.002+11:002009-10-29T07:06:25.658+11:00Guttering & FasciaWell not alot has happened in the last 2 weeks even though we had mainly good weather for the majority of the time. Oh well we knew that it would slow down eventually as we have had an excellent run so far. If only they could finish the roof then rain wouldnt be as much of a problem.<br /><br />They have put up the guttering and fascia for the top floor - now we just await the roof tiles!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDRb-3KezLRXFnvLDlovCgN8kyH7A2PsbciBHfoaRZ2hD9yOaWnzgEiQtfrnN12QFDrUvr-OFmJBnIJ1fXcoWkiF5K2RK-D8bg5GTzGvHhpSMtcjYjwTEI_AvL5DzWF1PWd9FaQO5XS2Ag/s1600-h/Guttering.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397743714022887042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDRb-3KezLRXFnvLDlovCgN8kyH7A2PsbciBHfoaRZ2hD9yOaWnzgEiQtfrnN12QFDrUvr-OFmJBnIJ1fXcoWkiF5K2RK-D8bg5GTzGvHhpSMtcjYjwTEI_AvL5DzWF1PWd9FaQO5XS2Ag/s320/Guttering.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>D + Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02476856332648723895noreply@blogger.com0
