Framing Day 96 - Exterior Update

We arrived later in the day, and it was overcast, so the pictures are a little darker than usual.

A closer view of the painted mouldings.

The re-rendered, moved power point.

Dirt had been scraped from the back yard and placed against certain points of the house.

Why aren't these internally wired? I hope it will be tidied up.

Framing Day 66 - More Hebel and Plumbing Updates

In the two days since the previous post, the minions had been busy.

Not only had the Hebel been put on the garage, there had also been additional plumbing works for the hot water service performed.

It had been a week since we'd visited the site, and my boys were very happy to watch the progress made.

Lots of progress had been made, across multiple areas.

The major gas line into the house has been done.

I'd specifically asked for this to be square.

Plumbing has been done.

Probably the worst job I've seen.

Framing Day 36 - Hebel Uplift!

Another large load of Hebel had been delivered and lifted (at around 80Kg each!!!) upstairs awaiting to be attached to the house.

The extra dwarf wall has been removed and frame repaired.

The Hebel panels are attached to the frame via a screw.

Hebel cement is used to join panels together and to cover screw holes.

Framing Day 30 - External Progress

It had been a week since we visited, and lots of progress had been made!

Framing Day 25 - Hebel has started!

Even though we'd had some really bad weather of late, I was really surprised to see the guys working on Saturday. The guys were really nice, and were even happy to talk to my boys. They earned their beers! :)

Hebel is cut with a masonry saw, moved into position and then screwed into place. The hebel adhesive is then used to seal the gaps and then cover the holes from the screws (like putty).
