Since I've returned to work, I've been having to travel an hour each way, doubled up with working on the house full time on the weekends so I haven't been able to update in some time. First some updates as to the progress.
Roof has been completed. We have decided on the floor board provider - a mate of my brother in law - Jamie - can get us a really good deal on Jarrah floorboards - so Steve the floorboard dude is coming around to measure up this Saturday.
Kaz has gone and spent up big on whitegoods and can now provide the dimensions of said appliances to the kitchen maker - Impala Kitchens - in readiness for that to start construction.
Jan and Stan have been fantastic, working through the most disgustingly hot days we have ever experienced (including sharing with me the hottest day in the history of Melbourne, trying to put insulation paper up and then weatherboards while the temperature reached 46.4 degrees celsius) in order to get where we are - 2/3 to 3/4 of all the weatherboards now up as you can see below.
My dad Russ has come down to go around the completed boards with the electric sander and has started puttying up the gaps.
Craig our plumber has been in with his bobcat to dig out the sewerage pipes to the back of the house. Heaps of progress.
This weekend Jan, Stan and I are hoping to get all the boards on - in time for our sparky Erin to get started with roughing in the cables. I have to get my butt moving on the plaster - more photos to come soon.

Here's the view of the city from our house - click on it - its not too bad
Back soon,
