WOODSTOCK


Since the weekend, we expected nothing much to have happened at the site when we arrived there today.  But we were astounded and thrilled to see that all the posts have been stood up and the beams are already in place!  

Wow, it's really beginning to look like a house!


We are amazed at the outstanding job the Site Supervisor has done to keep this site clean and tidy at all times.  Hopefully, this will last until the final stages...:)


Getting at the site, we caught the tradies jackhammering the slab which they kept us waiting for 2 hours before we had been able to take pictures.  They had miscalculated the area of the dining and would give us a smaller alfresco if they have not found it just in time.  I am afraid that the measurements are just numbers to me!

 


Overall, we're overwhelmed with the outcome as everything went pretty smoothly in just two week's time!  The timber looked as clean and good as the look of the house, the nails were properly penetrated on the woods, and poles quality treated and installed.

Here are some photos of the house.  We mixed up some rooms at one point as we were still getting a bit of a feel for the size of the house :D.
