Took 2 hours!! Not sure if this is normal or average. Lukie was at school, but bub Victoria slept through the whole thing - especially with circular saw grinding the water line in the kitchen nearby, and roofers planting more bolts into the roof. She was so cutely koala-pouched in wife's wrap though. Added a few more things, talked over with the electrician who seemed to be quite forward and honest and on the ball with guiding us with all the placements. I'm sure I may have drove him batty with my super-detail questions... Also mentioned to him the Smart LED bulb lighting system. Might have to have custom battens for these but he will look into it. Will upload a pic of the 'edited' plans a bit later. Otherwise the work site had lots of tradies around - carpenters, plumbers and roofers. Otherwise we also finalised (hopefully without any more 2nd guessing...) the viewing screen for the portal between the sewing room and the rumpus/play room. That way, wife can supervise the children whilst sewing... -we are having the portal 600mm tall and 1800mm wide, centred to the rumpus room. -it will also be installed starting from 1400mm from the floor -changed the pattern of the screen to tetris shapes and lines, rather than a "tortoise-shell" pattern.

Wowza the house has made heaps of progress looks great Thanks! Need to catch up on your thread. Lol nothing exciting on our end this week so far! Re: The epic home building race - BABY IS OUT, TIME TO ROUG 196Jun 08, 2017 11:15 pm Great progress Rural got to be wrapped with how it's all coming together . Did you sort out your water for the fridge? Another way is by making a niche for the tap so the fridge can sit flush without the tap getting in the way. Kind of like a niche in your shower wall but for the tap. Agree with BW the screening is very cool. Re: The epic home building race - BABY IS OUT, TIME TO ROUG 197Jun 09, 2017 1:51 pm Took hundreds of photos today with the good camera - not sure if it will ever be useful but thought would be good to have documentation of all the frames, internals and fixtures before it gets covered up?? Otherwise... lots of different tradies on site today - air con guys here! chippies still going as well. and brickies came to introduce themselves and set up shop!! also sparkies doing their bit. Tubs are in. Roof looks to be completely done (there were a few unfinished gutters from last week). Gyprock is waiting in the main garage. Brackets for the power points and switches being put in and wires. Plumbing looks done. ---Tribe, fridge tap-wise, I sat on it too long to really change it up, though your niche idea sounds like a good one. Here are some photos! - don't worry not all 200 of them from today... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A view of our corner tub and the walk-in shower.

Framing looks great Re: The epic home building race - BABY IS OUT, TIME TO ROUG 199Jun 10, 2017 9:39 pm Looking great Rural, those photos will help you so much when it comes time to hang photos etc as you know where the studs are. I've seen a few builds with water points in niches, I have no idea about ours beyond the fact there is one there. Miss Tori woken up from the newborn slumber yet? I find around day 6 the babies really fire up. You guys are going great with the build and babe . Re: The epic home building race - BABY IS OUT, TIME TO ROUG 200Jun 12, 2017 3:49 am Wow I have missed a fair bit. Super congrats on new Bub, love her name. Hope mum and bubs are now doing well after their rough start! House is coming along nicely, I love baths and that is a great size. Will be nice kicking back in there. That's a great idea between the sewing and rumpus. yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5402 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
