Happy to report our framing has been completed. We had our inspector come through this week, some defects to be rectified but overall framing was of a pretty good standard. The inspection report has gone to Henley and our site supervisor, together with the building manager, will be going through the items on the report. Most of them are pretty easy fixes, the slab has a couple of uneven spots too so we need to make sure this is rectified so the laminate flooring goes down properly.
It took about three weeks for the framing to be done, as the head framer was not there for part of it due to a new arrival in the family. Mostly his two workers were on site and there was someone on site every single day, including weekends and public holidays. Great work ethic that is for sure. The guttering and fascia has been installed and we are part way through the roofing which started today.
Can't believe how much timber goes into the house, don't think I would want to be a framer - so much involved. Some of the remaining timber has started to go walkabout though. As part of our plans we have to put up a 50cm high, 5 metre long approx. fence extension on the boundary fence so we might do that this weekend.
The remaining bulk of the windows and doors have been delivered (though I have noticed damage to some of the window/door frames already), and I also noticed a new sign on the fence!
Can't wait for the stairs to go in - though not sure at which point they start?
Anyway, here are some of the framing progress pics! Please note all photos were taken by drone and I do not know who the tresspassers are ;)
