All Wrapped and Warm.

It's been awhile since our last post because it has been too dark to capture the wonderful progress. And oh my so much has happened!
Firstly, our roof is tiled, windows installed and bricks delivered. We are wrapped, insulated and plumbing is complete. Our lights and powers are in place and the plaster has been delivered. And our entrance door is ready to be hinged!
Our home is truly looking beautiful!

Awaiting to be touched up with Red Box coloured paint.

The Garage has been wrapped and insulated too. Wasn't expecting that.

Jackki's massive study.

Our plaster waiting in the kitchen.
This is where our kitchen rangehood will go.

Who wants to jump in the bath with me?

This is our shower recess.

Frame Stage complete

Our Site Supervisor advised us last week that Frame stage would be completed by Wednesday. True to his word we have now been FRAMED!! :>

We organised an independent inspector (NHI) to come in and assess the work so far. The guy was very impressed with Carlisle's work which made us more confident that we did indeed choose the right builder to go with. He only found a hand full of minor issues which the Site Supervisor had agreed were issues and that he would get them attended to.

Our roof tiles were also delivered today, so hopefully we have cover above our eager little heads by early next week.

The only disappointing thing so far is that we didn't take photos to post this time round.
