Top Floor Joists

It's like magic, within another couple of days the garage was framed up, the lounge room framing completed and the master bedroom suite floor joists were up! I took these photos on the 12th September:









By the 14th, we had the final yellow tongue flooring installed on the top level (master bedroom) floor:

The Walk in Robe and Bathroom end of the master suite

Looking back down onto the children's bedroom level (bathroom in this corner)
Again looking back down to the children's level, towards the rumpus and bedrooms
Now all ready for upper flooring framing :-) 

As everyone who has been through this says, the framing does go really quickly. Our framing has been slower than most as well, due to the fact that our house is a custom split level design, and not straightforward. And nothing is pre-made - the carpenters have been cutting and assembling everything on site. 

It's warming up in Brisbane now, with some unseasonally warm September days (34 degrees!!). I really feel for the men working in the sun on our site. It will be good to have the rood on for shade! I really hope we get as much done before the upcoming rainy season sets in too.
