the speed of light!!

Well, I have to say these builders are working at the speed of light. Sometimes we almost think they must be there 24 hours a day!!! After only a week (since the roof went on) we now have insulation on the walls (that is the green stuff that you can see), windows, doors, the electrical wiring is done and the plumbing is done. Next (I think ) comes the brickwork, which I hope will be this week. So far there have only been 2 minor problems. The first was a powerpoint that wasn`t there. Greg the supervisor said no problem will ring the electrician and get him back asap, we will check on this of course as it was one we paid extra for as it wasn`t on the original plan. The second problem was the front door, which they discovered themselves- it didn`t fit into the space they had allocated for it, so it has been taken away to be redone. I guess it should reappear this week. I am trying not to get too excited about how quickly it is now progressing as it will only lead to disappointment and I know that the outside is the quickest part of the progress. The inside will seem to take forever!!

This is the alfresco area, as you can see we have plenty of doors. The door on my left is our bedroom and the others are the living and dining room areas.

This is the front of the house. The window on the left is Waynes bedroom, the next window along is the office ( 4th bedroom), then the portico and the garage. Where the roof slants at the front we are having wood slats.

This is the side of the house, the lounge and dining areas. The back of the garage is going to have a roller door for easy access to the backyard.

This is inside ( of course) the lounge dining area and looking into the back of the garage. Hope this gives you a good idea of our progress this week.
