White Plaster Rendering

Another progressive week with the grey float set to the front, rear and alfresco pillars.
They have also started white plaster rendering to the internal walls, starting from the front rooms, passage way, study, home theatre and master suite. The living areas and kitchen were not done yet.

External Walls

Karen drove by the house today and the workers have started plastering the external walls. They are working on the frontage and the rear covering the 4 pillars as well.

Faults & Mistakes

When we visited our house construction site, apart from the energetic excitement of the progress, we will also check to make sure that the building is as per the plan (to the best of our knowledge) and as to what we expected.

As careful as we could be, there were some minor mistakes and faults (some unforeseen by us) to be corrected. It is a good thing that we picked up the problem and fix it now rather than later.

Here are some faults which we have encountered, and thankful that it was easily rectified.

Glass Doors, Windows and Ceiling

It has been a very busy week with the installation of the glass windows and sliding doors (Jason Windows) throughout the house. Glass panels were also installed to the internal wine cellar and activity window.

Then came the drywall installers to install the gyprock ceiling and cornice throughout the house. We did not visit the house whilst this work is going on as they were busy until late evening and sanding the ceiling.

It is 98% completed and need to redo the wall at the AV side to dryline it instead of grey plaster. Overall, we are happy and excited that the ceiling is up and our house rooms are taking shape.

Wall Plastering

The workers were back to work on the house on Thursday and Friday (even though it is still hot but it is windy and not hitting above 35 degrees) and they have started applying internal grey float to the internal walls.

There will be another layer of white plaster which will complete the walls.

Heat Wave !!

There was little done to the house last week as the weather soared above 40 degrees Celsius and we experienced several days of heat wave.

We did visit the house later and they have cleared the rubbish and cleaned up inside of the house.
