Upper storey revealed

Today we got the first look at our completed upper floor following the removal of the scaffold that has surrounded it since mid June 2023. We are thrilled with how the house is looking, the colours we've chosen and the lineal design style. We really like how the splayed gutters accentuate the house width.

Removal of the scaffold marks an exciting step as construction now moves to focus on the lower floor, starting with construction of the roof at the back half of the house, including the alfresco, which is also under the main roof. We are also looking forward to seeing the light come in from the skylight we optioned to have over the kitchen.

 Once the roof is on, it's back to more render inside and out, installation of the door and window glass, including our large commercial sliding stacker door between the kitchen/dining and alfresco and our wide front door to get to lock up. Lock up is our next formal completion stage and the next time the builder gets cash so I'm hoping that incentive will see us power through the next phase. I've got a bet on with Josh that we reach lock up by March 31st. Two shiny dollars are at stake so fingers crossed!

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 ...
