Up we go!

Here is the ground floor frame extending over to on top of the garage.
The first floor begins to appear! Darren has got a real run on the first floor frame and he's done it all by himself! He was going to get some help but had to wait for people so he just up and did it! He feels much happier when things keep on moving along. The weather is starting to get quite wet so we really want to get the roof on ASAP. Jake is helping him this afternoon. The frame should be finished in a few days and then we can order the roof trusses. We've also got some quotes on the roof and that can start as soon as we're ready. We're having Colourbond and getting roofers in to do all the roof, gutters, etc. We need to look at some display homes to choose a colour but we think we like Woodland Grey which is a classic, dark grey.Jake is standing at the front of the house in Nicky and Amber's room. On the floor is a wall ready to lift. You can see the Hebel flooring down. It's aerated concrete sheets and is really sound proof. It's very quiet walking around up there.
Here, I'm looking across the stairwell which will all be open. Jake is standing at the entrance to his bedroom. The stairs come up to the first floor just to the left of where he is standing.
Looking down from the first floor to the rooms on top of the garage. This is the Guest quarters!!
Just a bit of Autumn colour. That is our new car, a 1997 Landcruiser. I absolutely love it, burning around the hills on the dirt roads is so much better! The beloved Tarago has finally wound down after 430,000km!
