We have walls!!!

The plasterers have been working hard again and we have most of our walls in place. As you can see from the below picture, only 1/2 of the garage roof is on, and 1/2 way up the entrance hallway has been put up. But the rest of the house mostly has the ceiling and wall boards in (still plenty to go - the taping and the cornices for a start!). From the rumpus room looking back towards the dining room:

Pink's room Blue's room

Laundry (note the door now has door handles :))

The loooooong hallway, which looks quite dark now without all the extra light. Love the window at the end though, we saw that in a display home and thought that was a great idea and built it into our design.

In the family area looking out towards the alfresco area.

The theatre room (surrounded by 'soundboard' to stop all that excess booming!)

And so it continues.... I can tell you we're very glad to not be undertaking this bit of the journey! Best left to the professionals (of whom there are more than 2 and I haven't heard them have an argument yet!).

Next on the agenda, once the plastering is finished: kitchen measure, brick cleaning, garage roller door installation, painting (look out all you volunteers .... and no ignoring my calls when i ring you!!!) and door frames. We've decided to go with a split jamb system which looks much simpler to install than doing it all from scratch (thanks BMU for the tip!). Ma & I drove to Dandenong the other day to check them out, Bikeman will be very pleased with the minimal fuss required to put together. Not that he can't do it, of course. It will save HEAPS of time.

Next choices to make: colours for painting and then the type of doors. I had chosen a door that I liked but it only comes in a woodgrain finish, which I think won't work as well in our house. Will keep looking....
