Framing complete.

The framers have finished, and tidied up. Next is the roof, bricks and windows.

The Wolke block fairy visited yesterday when we were at work while the Termimesh guy was here.

Truck with brikie sand woke us up this morning, so shouldn't be long.

House framers are quick, even in 40+ heat!

Got lots of the walls up in two days, if they keep going like this, it might be done by Friday!

Chook/dog cage

Well, it will be for the dogs to start with, chooks down the track. Its big enough to split in two if we have to ;-)

Attached pics show progress. Most happened in the last two days.

Just a couple more sheets of iron to attach tomorrow, and make the door latch properly, then its done.

Facebook update

Just testing if this will appear automagically in facebook

Shed's looking good now

 

Haven't posted any pics or anything for a while, as we've been madly moving into the shed. There are some photo's attached to show that it looks pretty comfy ;-)

 

So we are now living entirely on solar power, we were a little worried that we wouldn't have enough, but we have a fridge & freezer running all the time. TV at nights, Kettle, Iron & Vacuum running when required, and computer running most of the time as well.

Electric Cars

It seems that we're hearing more and more about electric cars, and that the technology is becoming more accessible.

Checkout this video of a 72 Datsun converted to Electric beating all at the Drag strip open day.

 

 

Time for Electrician to return

 

All the power points are now ready to be finalised, although there is a bit of lining still to do, all the points are covered and ready to go.

Phew!

Various pics attached.

(Yes, we have galvanized/corrugated iron splashback behind the sink/hotplates)
