Standing on the outside, looking in

Well, Melbourne has turned on its coldest day so far this Winter, the wind chill factor was freezing.
Did a quick drive by from a distance and saw our chippies were on site.   Went down to the local bakery and bought 2 cappuccinos and 2 buns.

Back to the site where I introduced myself to Scott (not Steve or Shane), our head chippie who had his dad helping him, coz it was too cold for the apprentice to bother to come to work!!!!

They were very appreciative of the morning tea I brought them on this freezing day.   Anyway Scott told me my outside frame is now finished, he wont be back till later in the week.   We should have some roof trusses delivered this week, and the brickies will need to build the garage so he can put the roof trusses on.
He has worked for Romeo Homes for around 10 years and has built The Jamieson many times, he even complimented me on our turning the bedroom 2 into a study with the cavity sliders, he thought that was a great idea!!

So happy that things are ticking along nicely.   Next door, the Henley house that only had its slab laid last Thursday, is almost at the same stage as ours is!!   On the other side of us, while I was there, their porta-loo and builders cage was delivered, so they must be starting any day now as well!!

Anyway here's some more pics:-

 This is our meals/dining area which will get all the northern sunlight.   I can see myself having a coffee with a book here!!

To the right is my wonderful walk-in pantry which will be accessible straight from the garage into the pantry.   We are having benches built-in so my Kitchenaid mixer can be mounted permanently!!   This room was one of the ones that sold me the house!

Looking from the back of the family room towards the kitchen/meals area.

This shows how big our Alfresco area is going to be which will all be under roofline.

Can't wait to be outside just soaking up the atmosphere!!



Until next time - that's all folks!!!
