A delivery of wood has arrived, I assume for the walls. A few storms predicted for Tuesday, otherwise good conditions are forecast. Christmas shutdown starts on Thursday 22nd for 3.5 weeks.

The carpenters have outlined where all the interior and exterior walls will go in pencil. Hoping to see some walls starting to be formed up tomorrow!

It does create some obstacles to using the under-house for storage / workshop space, but I'm hoping it won't be a big issue.

Great to see the 9 foot ceilings and the size of the window openings. I spotted an error in the hallway wall placement and was able to get on to the builder in time, he agreed it was incorrect. No work done on Friday, disappointingly, Builder has advised that the carpenters were sent to another site to set the poles for a new construction. Hoping we can get all the Ground floor walls framed before the Christmas shutdown.

Great view and location! Thanks Budapest! When you say prefab are you referring to the walls? I wasn't onsite at the time, but looking at the building materials around, I assume the carpenters have built these by hand. The roof trusses are prefab though.

No progress Friday (Builder advised they had to work on another site for the day) and Tuesday (Builder not sure what happened). Looks like Carpenters are on Christmas shutdown now and back on 9 January, which is a different timing to the builders.

Happy new year everyone, I hope you had an enjoyable festive season! Work re-commenced on Wednesday this week with the steel beams going up above the 3 large stacker doors on the living room, the beam across the double garage and some structural paneling to various sections. Thursday saw work largely completed on the First Floor joists, and I can see the sub-flooring has been delivered as well. The error I noticed in the Butler's Pantry window arrangement has been rectified.

Depending on how tall the house under construction one house down (visible in this photo) gets, I should maintain uninterrupted views.

After some good progress post-Xmas on Tue, 11th and Wed, 12th of January, the builder has advised that due to rain on Mon, 16th Jan and again on Tue, 17th, they made a decision to re-task the carpenters to another site that had indoor work to do. This was communicated as being a 3 day job, and they'd be back on Friday, 20th Jan. Due to delays this was then moved to back on Tuesday, 24th Jan, and today they've called to say they are delayed again and now not back until 'next week'. I'll post again once work resumes. Here are a couple of photos looking up at the house from the bottom corner (South East) of our block.
