Seems the wrong colour may have been delivered originally because today the correct colour was delivered. I think that they might also be waiting on some hardiplex sheeting for the sides of the portico above the roof. The gyprock was also delivered today - didn't see any cornices though. Some insulation batts were also delivered.

So I visited my house after work again today. I now windows & glass sliding doors, ceilings & cornices. Sadly the roof is still not complete I really hope it doesn't rain again until after the roof is completed - otherwise my new ceilings will be a soggy mess on the floor... Waiting for my CLO to call me back so I can express mu concerns.

Yay! So the next thing to be done will probably be the white plaster. And then... dare I say it? Lock-up later this week? Maybe?

All the remaining roof sheets were finally put up today but the ridge capping hasn't been finished. Also the sheeting for the sides of the portico is yet to be done too. My water was moved yesterday, so i can have a straight driveway... yay. Received an email from my clo advising that the white set plaster is scheduled to be done next week.

You have started back in June 2016 and now you have roof almost complete. Yes you still have a good size backyard and rooms layout are pretty good. I'm very jello with your build soooooo fast. I question myself " what am I doing here?" Signed my contract back in Nov 14 still no house. I should move there. lol I will be following your thread to the end...
