Roof Framing

Moving forward, the bearers for the roof started to get installed this week.

You can see the hole in the Laundry slab here for the dumb waiter.

Scaffolding also went up so the brickies' could finish the exterior walls on the upper level. Unfortunately it looks like a wet week ahead, so progress will slow.

Frames go up

After the slab pouring on Monday, the formwork came off on Tuedsay and the builders started preparing to build the frames for the upstairs rooms. We were amazed to see most of the frames for the upstairs walls completed by the end of the week (24th May), especially given all the angles - not many 90 degree corners here! The bedrooms are taking shape... And we could admire our new balconies. Downstairs was taking shape too! with the detailed curve in the brickwork at the bottom of the stairs, and our "open" column at the end of the Kitchen Bench.

Upstairs Slab gets poured

Today the concrete was poured on the slab for the middle level 

(Front Door / Office / Bedrooms / Bathrooms & Laundry):

One more truck to go...

Finished!

The thickest section is the main house; Front Door is at the right.

the lower section in the foreground is the capping over the excavation,

forming the 'secret' alleyway behind the dumb-waiter & pantry.

The house is starting to take shape.

Look up from the old boatshed.

The stairs down to the Living level.

The timberwork for the frame on the upper floor should start later this week, then it will really start to look more like our house!

Second Level begins

Last week, the Scaffold started going in to support the formwork (7 May)

This week the Bondek and formwork are almost completed.

Master bedroom and balcony are to be on the right.

The outline of the ensuite is shown in orange paint. The Front Door will be in the foreground with the office to the right.

Here the outline of the Main Bathroom and the stairwell down to the Kitchen can be clearly seen.
