a.k.a The Green House

We have a fully wrapped, green abode! Roof is finished and wrapping completed on Sunday, which was fantastic.

The wrapped house from the inside ... all silvery and much darker than it had been. Gave us a great insight into how much light will be coming in once the bricking is complete. This photo was taken from the dining room looking towards the rumpus (front) room.

Top windows have now been squared up with lower windows rather than sticking out 3cm or so ... looks much better! And it was much easier second time around. And yes I was very high up on that ladder balancing and holding the phone to take a photo at the same time... I was scared for me!!

Site Foreman Blue.... doing a bit of hammering and stuff. Real hammer and all!

We have a roof!! And sisalation (foil wrap around the outside of the house). All in the matter of a couple of days. The roof was finished Friday, which was absolutely fantastic, which meant we were able to start the wrapping on Saturday (thanks to Mr Reichy for his help (and also the a.k.a The Green House suggestion)) and finish just after lunch on Sunday.

And don't be fooled, no we don't have any of those builders helping us out on our project as per the sisalation... remember that bargain we got from ebay.... well must be some left over from other projects, (we hope!).

Even one of the brickies was out Saturday morning, setting the bricks up ready for the brickies to arrive with gusto on Wednesday. He was probably a bit bummed that the Griswalds turned up, kids in tow, while he was trying to get a bit of quiet work done. Then they started yelling at each other about where to nail the sisalation first... tsk tsk!

So, bricks should be started Wed (weather permitting - looking at those cyclone force storms in perth today and thinking .... err maybe not!!) and will probably take a good week or so. And then we shall be nearly at lockup. Who'd have thought!
