Lockup

We have finally reached lockup stage - all doors and windows are in. That means cold winds and the possums are out. The main roof facia and guttering are also complete thanks to Caleb's tin-smithing artistry.

Glen and Cathy Hanson of Eurotrend Doors and Windows install our final door - a large Lift and Slide door from the living area out to the eastern lawn.

Now the windows are in and the internal framing complete

Final roof goes on as winter sets in.

Hey! Joe came home and is helping us finish our house. How about that! Easter was wet and windy, so was Anzac weekend. But Caleb, Joe Michael and I eventually got the final roof on.

We also installed 6 more Spotted Gum windows and the first  5 clearstory windows.

Malcolm's ute has no end of important uses. A mobile scaffold is one of them.

I probably won't bring it inside once the floor is tiled.

Second roof

After another very busy week and a hand from Michael, the second roof is on. Caleb is a fine tinsmith, among his many talents.
