Day 88 - 30/1/14


Sent the projector lift specs through today so they can start to look at moving the joists to accommodate this. 

We have also made our first official variation, and changed the window in the master bedroom over the bed head from being a fixed window to an awning, as we have discovered the direction of the breeze is different than first thought.

Day 84 - 26/1/14


Well, the roof is pretty much complete now, and waiting for the Colourbond.

We have had some big issues over the last week or so, and we are working through them.

These include:
  • No provision for the large Aircon Unit in the roof.  So Engineers are now reworking the trusses, or we may have to redesign the roof... not good.
  • The cavity slider in the master bedroom WIR has been put in the wrong way, so we now have no where to hang the plasma.  Looking at options
  • A joist runs right through the laundry chute
  • A joist runs through where the projector lift is meant to go
  • There is so little roof cavity space, that once the aircon is installed with all the ducting and droppers, there is not much point in a manhole, as you will not be able to move anywhere.  Note to self for next time, make the roof higher.

Day 80 - 22/1/14


Well, 40 days after the last bit of work was done on the house, Em just sent me a photo to show that the second storey has not only started, but almost finished in the last two days since they started back on the house.

Looking and feeling like a real house though.
