Take cover!

House building report #294

Well the outer cover of the house is nearing completion with a combination of the ubiquitous Colorbond (the wobbly steel stuff) and Cedar overlap boards. You won't see from the pictures that the decking is also 95% done and all the internal walls/ceilings have been plaster-boarded ready for painting.
We think the fit out of the internal cupboards and walk-in 'robe will start this week.
Carpet has been ordered - pure NZ wool of course!
All very exciting.

PS - we're planning on putting down some slabs in front of the main entrance door and then a bed to the right of that with grasses, ferns and sculptural blue/grey/green plants. This will 'soften' the colorbond side.
