We have Hebel

Spoke with the SS yesterday and he ensures me that the issues with the hebel and rebate overhang will be resolved - which is good (fingers crossed). The alignment of the Lounge window will also be corrected and centered. So feeling a little happier now!

Express train to lock-up!

I've been a bit slack in updating this blog - time flies by and the house is going up at lightning speed. Every time we visit (which is almost daily) and take photos, so much has changed we hold off on updating the blog because yesterdays photos are out of date!

So - i'm forcing myself to put up a few photos to show the progress thus far.

The hebel is currently going up and the first floor is almost done, will take some photos this weekend and post them. The roof tiling is complete and all windows are in - including the bifolds! We have a few problems with the hebel, mainly with it overhanging the slab rebate on the left of the house, whereas it is nice and flush with the rebate on the right. In talks with PD about it and will ensure it is corrected as per engineering design!

The lounge window is also off centre and at odds with how it is illustrated in the front elevation on the plan. Such a shame we have hit problems - it has been pretty smooth sailing up until this point.

Last but not least - a quick plug for Debbie's upcoming exhibition.
