Below shows the floor joists on top of the garage (view from the back). This is now completely framed up as well and joined to the main house. This area is our formal lounge and our "guest quarters". We're having a guest room with a queen bed and big bunks as well as it's own bathroom. We really want family and friends to be able to stay over easily.
This is our entrance hall. To the left at the back is my laundry which is my favourite room!!
This will be the view from my kitchen sink!!
Here's Darren sitting at the front door.
Since these photos we have done more framing and today the first floor sheets are being lifted on. We are using Hebel which is 75mm aerated concrete. It is for sound proofing the kids rooms upstairs!! The sheets are really heavy and need to be crane lifted up. The truck came yesterday and attempted to get up our driveway but the power steering failed. Guys came out to try and help but it ended up having to stay there overnight. This morning a mechanic came out but he ended up getting lost and bogged in a dead end street. Someone came and got the mechanic out then he finally came and fixed the truck but it still couldn't get up the driveway enough so only half the pellets went up. He's going to come back when the ground is drier and try again with a lighter load. Of course we have to pay for each extra trip out. I guess that's building in the hills!!!
Lastly, please feel free to pop out and visit the site. Darren is there most days and he'd love to give you a tour!
