We're now expecting to see renderers & plasterers on site to attend to both inside and out, air con ducting installed to the upper floor, ceiling and cornices installed and windows put in as the next steps. Basically they get the upper floor to "lock up". Fingers crossed we get a good run of these trades in November!

Roof Cover
It seems everything happened while we were away (as is always the case when you're watching something closely).
As part of the celebration of Cheryl, 11x Wylde's went south for a week down at Siesta Park, just outside of Busselton during the first week of school holidays for some well needed R&R. Back home at our build, things weren't quite so leisurely. Fortunately my neighbours are keeping us updated and half way through our trip down south, on Wed 27th September, I received a couple of messages to say that our roof cover was going on.
When we arrived back from Siesta Park on Friday the 29th, we found the house with the roof cover fully done, the upstairs plumbing all chased in and the electricians on site putting the final touches on chasing in the electrical wiring. Three trades in one week!Top Roof Cover is another project milestone, which of course means another bill, but also means another step closer. Our next major milestone is Lock Up, so there's going to be a fair bit happening to get to that stage. Naturally, I took the opportunity to fly the drone over the house to capture the roof cover in all its glory.
Also, randomly after flying the drone over, I noticed a few days later we now have a TV aerial. I don't know when that happened!
Carpets and concrete
I had this really well thought out, perfectly spaced timeline of how we were going to get all our finishing trades through the house before ...
