Windows - Lovely Windows :-)

When going through the process of picking and choosing timber windows to our façade came and went several times before we eventually decided that they would definitely get the OK. Timber windows to the façade was something that we fell in love with when we first visited the display home. Another option was the timber corner stop that is a timber post between front and side windows instead of brickwork to the corners.

Safety, Safety, Safety

Scaffold, Work Platforms and Void Protection have been installed. They have put up Scaffolding around the Porch/Balcony and rear Alfresco/Terrace areas, Roof access work platforms and Stairwell void fall protection. Apparently there are several different safety measures for fall protection that are done at different stages during the build.

Roof Tiles & Guttering

Title says it all. Roof Trussses and Guttering were installed a few days ago and now to follow up the roof tiles have been mostly installed. There are still a few areas to be finished and the pointing to be done but it's a step closer to water tight. Apparently everything roof related gets finished completely and once the safety platforms come down the roof will be how we get it at handover.

We Have a view!

As the frame started to come together I had the thought that we might actually get some sort of view from our upper level windows. I was pleased today when I was able to stand on the upper level and see what we will see. Until recently, I hadn't really considered that we might have something more than other houses out of our windows. I know it's not as nice as some but for us it's a pleasant surprise.

Framing has commenced

Initially I was told that our frame would commence on 7th March due to the framing team being busy finishing a couple of other jobs. As it turns out our frame started on 2nd March 2017 because of incorrectly ordered items at one of the other sites being worked on. We'll get 3-4 days of framing work while they wait for the replacement items on the other site. Then there will be a couple of days break while they go back and finish of the other site.
