Good news and bad news...

The good news is - dry wall is complete!! The guys worked Saturday and Monday (a holiday) to finishe - yay. Bad news is, the taper can't come in to start the next step until Friday :( That puts us a few days behind on interior finishing. The regular crew is continuing its work, however, so it's not like nothing is getting done. Still, a tad disappointing as this pretty much guarantees we won't be in until early September now.

Framing Day 26 - and we're done :)

Yep, framing is finally complete! It took five weeks exactly. Pretty cool. Hopefully roofing will start next week - there was a delay in getting the tiles and with the long weekend coming up...

Here are the last of the framing pics, taken this morning just after 7am. When we dropped by the site yesterday, the guys were still there and we didn't get back over in the evening. Hence my early morning visit.

Top floor walls...

We now have 'em. Well, 1.5 so far, with another lying in the master bedroom and over the staircase, waiting to go up on Monday. Still, it's looking good :) And the weather yesterday was perfect for taking pictures (unlike today). And the second staircase is done too, so we don't have to climb the ladder any more. Piccies below:

More on Monday, when we hope the rest of the walls go up. Then it's the dormers and roof line - that could be a bit tricky, so I imagine things will slow down a bit.
