Final Framing - we're all framed up!

By the end of Friday 20th September, our framing had been completed. We're able to look through the "windows" now and see the view each room has, and get a better idea of the room sizes and positions. I admit that the bedrooms are smaller than I had envisaged, however I will wait until they are gibbed and painted before making a final call on what I think of the dimensions!

Some photos from the 20th:

Void where stairs will go, and my huge chandelier! 

Next I will try to catch up some other photos of the site. The builders haven't been here this week ( week up to Friday 27 September) and so I will use it as an opportunity to consolidate where we're up to. We are waiting for the roof to go on now (can't wait!) and I'm hoping it starts next week. Predicitions of rain have made me uneasy - I need this roof before the cyclone season starts!! 

Happy weekend everyone! 

Upper floors framed!

On 17 September I popped over to the house after school to see some more framing. It's really exciting to turn the corner into the street to see really apparent progress jump out at us. They had started the master bedroom framing and completed some more on the garage. And she's looking tall!

Then by the 19th, we had lots more :)

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:

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.
