More building progress

Published by Simon Lindsay

 

They've got the pipes into the slab.. Woooo starting to get some real action.

And some more pics of inside the shed. All the doors are hung now, just need to finish lining the inside of the rooms now. Shower, toilet etc should be fitted Tuesday we think.

More walls and a front step

Published by Simon Lindsay

We spent the day working on more walls today, and Deb made a front step from some sleepers we had lying around. Dogs romped around for a while, then relaxed, Kids went over to the big tree and finished off their cubbyhouse.

Wall building in the shed

Published by Simon Lindsay

Having a couple of weeks off at the moment to build out the walls in the Shed where we'll be living while the house is built. This is some pics of the work so far. Since these, we've jioned the walls to the shed directly, which straightens things up a bit. The plumber is coming end of this week. No, its not "Joe the plumber".. ;-)

Solar & Wind powered house

Published by Simon Lindsay

Well, the house part is still a way off, but the Shed now has power!

As you can see from the pics, we started some time ago, as the first pictures show, and this week, the Solar Panels & Generator were finally installed.

The Wind Turbine base is the large concrete base, and is still another 28 days  away. The Concrete needs to set that much!
