Week 2 - Frame and Roof Trusses

We have been told this week will be a slower week than our first and that it looks like not much is happening but it is.

This week our frame has been completed, all the walls are up and we have walked through to make sure everything is where it should be. We have noticed that there is not frame up to the entry of the study. The original plans have the study open as you walk in the front door however we have closed ours in using sliding doors as we need a closed in office space and we also didn't like that when people fist walk in the home, the first thing they can see is computer equipment and printers etc.

We have been told that there are a few small things that need correcting with the frame, so we are hoping that this is one of them. We will watch this over the next week and make sure its fixed and has been picked up already.

We have also had our roof trusses go on this week, now it really looks like a house, what a big space the roof is.

One thing we have noticed now that we have a frame up is that our alfresco area is much bigger than we originally thought. We are now deciding if we build onto it as much as we had planned after handover or maybe we just build out another 3 meters instead of wrapping it around the house, which was our original plan.

Next week we have been told that we will have our first onsite meeting with our supervisor. We have also been told that the roof will be on by the end of next week.
