Day 209 - EOD

Progress on driveway, aggregate to be exposed tomorrow I guess. 

Sideway behind garage starting to take shape with concrete laid, and decking posts in position. 

Care need to be taken with all paths laid next to the Hebel, as the hebel overhangs the slab, care needs to be taken that no concrete goes under the hebel, if it does then it is likely that at some point it will rip the hebel off the house due to the fact that the path is lighter than the house and will move more with the natural expansion and contraction of the underlying clay

Still chasing council to approve my fixing the crossover - that might be enough along with all the kitchen and laundry stuff for a while

Day 157 - Fixing completed

Painting should be finished on Monday, sparkies have dug holes in the plaster, made somewhat more difficult by the plasters it would seem

Day 125 - at Lockup

All missing Hebel now installed, all external facing doors and windows in place, and a fetching pink damp proof layer applied at the bottom of the walls

Day 116 - Upstairs Hebel Rendering completed

One day blue board

 

the next its rendered with the Hebel.

 Progress is has been good, Hebel is all done and the rendering will be done sporadically until complete, starting at the balcony and working forward and down as other construction completes

Day 107 - Second Floor Hebel Progressing and nearly fully laid

The weather has been less than perfect, and the Hebel team have pushed on, and have almost fully laid the external walls.

It has been 8 months since I first visited a Carter Grange display, and only 4 months since our construction started.  We are a little behind my estimated progress plan, but nothing that can't be recovered.

No worthwhile pics to share, just a muddy site with scaffolds obscuring the external walls.

The chippy has been planing joists and installing ground floor doors, and the  pre-wiring seems complete.

Hopefully some nice progress and pics this week

Day 100 - Ready for top floor hebel

This week has seen a little work on the ducts, foil wrap completion on the top floor, some data cable laid and scaffold construction. Fresh hebel and blueboard has been delivered, just waiting for a crew to show up and install.  :-)

I have just been informed by both site managers that RH liked the job so much that he will replace DL for the rest of the build. They are both great, so it works for me. 

Day 90 - Hebel continues, almost all ground floor windows installed

Great progress occurring this week, looking forward to catching up with DL now that he is back. Carpenter has just about completed his work downstairs, glass people have been around and put in almost all the missing ground floor windows.  Looks like lockup by the end of the week.

Day (27) - Plans complete

Plans approved for new house - just need to demolish the old house
