Week 20 - Gyprock & Stairs In

(06 May 2013 - 11 May 2013)

Monday 06 May 2013: Gyprock Started today

Gyprock has started today and it would take a few days to complete. The house seem to be bigger with the Gyrprock installed. It's amazing the difference it makes to the place with plaster over the frame, being able to see all the rooms come together, taking shape.

Tuesday 07 May 2013: Gyprocked & Plastered

The Gyprockers about 7-8 of them were back today and have pretty much completed the walls and have started on the ceilings and smoothed out the joins between sheets.

Wednesday 08 May 2013: Plastering Continues & We have Stairs

We're guessing the next stage is to pull the electrical wires through. It took a few days between upstairs & down in putting the plaster up but all of the house has now been plastered. So too late now if we forgot anything like extra wiring or noggins etc.. 

We were very delighted to see our stairs delivered today.

Week 17 - Garage/Alfresco Roof on

(15 Apr 2013 - 20 Apr 2013)

Monday 15 Apr 2013: Garage Roof Installed

I noticed some tradies working on the Garage Roof today and they did finish the Garage Roof.

Tuesday 16 Apr 2013: Gutters to the roof of Alfresco on

The Gutters and Fascia went on above the Alfresco and Rumpus Room.

Wednesday 17 Apr 2013: Alfresco Roof Installed

Today, our roof tiles were started on the Alfresco. One thing I'm a little worried about is why they didn't finish the Alfresco roof tiles today. Hope, they will complete the roof tomorrow. 

Thursday 18 Apr 2013: No Action

I was hoping that the Alfresco roof will be completed today, but nothing happened. Not sure why?

Friday 19 Apr 2013: No Action Again

I tried to call the SS today to find out why nothing's happening. But couldn't get hold of him. Finally made it after a few attempts. The SS told me that they are going to redo the Alfresco Roof again on Monday, due to some problem with the roof tiles. Not sure what the problem is. Hope everything goes good.
