The roof is on...

I can't believe how fast they can get things done.  With the public holiday and an RDO on Friday they've only had three days this week in which the roof tiles have been laid and the windows and sliding doors are fitted as well as the door jams for the front and garage.   Some of the issues discovered last Friday have been fixed, the over hangs in the slab and entrance framing issue haven't been corrected yet.  Bit of a worry that the tiles are on but the framing requires some additional work.  Will be interesting to see how this will get sorted out.

Frames Inspection

New Home Inspections came out today to check on the frames, was mostly ok with just a couple of fix ups to do, things I'd never have known to look for so it was well worth it.  There were a couple of places where the reo in the slab was exposed they just need to treat and cover it up, and some issues with the frames where some additional timber is required.


                                           Exposed reo

                                                     Need an extra stud here.

All of the behind plaster plumbing is completed and most of the insulation wrapping is done.  The tiles and windows should be done next week and the bricks the following.  The target of mid May is still looking achievable.

Frames

So...been a bit slack with the updates.  Went and had a look on Christmas day and got a good pressie with all of the framing work completed.  Had a bit of a wander around and all looks good.  The windows should be going in the first week back on the 9th.   Only problem has been that New Home Inspections have been on holidays and aren't back until the 16th, its a catch 22 as I want them to have a look before it gets too progressed but I also want them to keep making progress.  Anyway hopefully they can have a look next week and everything will be good.....
