So today I expected to see the roof trusses completely finished. So mum and I went for a drive out in the morning. I was surprised to see not only were the roof trusses finished, but the windows, sliding doors and plumbing were all done as well! It looked great! We have chosen white window frames which mum thought were quite bright, but I love that they look so crisp and fresh! The big corner windows for the front of the house were not yet in. This then bought my attention to the media room, which is our front room. Where I thought out tv was going, (right hand wall) there were now 3 small windows up high. Surely our tv could not go under the windows as it would sit too low! I also couldn't make out where our tv recess was going??? This had me in a bit of a bother. :/ There were no tradies on sight nor on any other site either? They must have had a day off from Bingara. So we left to go back home.
I wanted to get an indication on whether our roof will go on next or the bricks and also ask about the media room? I rang the SS in the arvo and asked about the media room. He informed me that due to my facade having corner windows a recess cannot fit in the media room. He also said the tv would go on the left hand wall (backs onto entry recess). It now feels a little back to front (according to my feng shui). But I wasn't too bothered by nott having a recess, at least it won't matter what size tv we get now. Perhaps it would have been nice of MJH to point this fact our during one of our meetings tho. We also realized that we may have to place wooden boards in the frame where we want to hang heavy items, such as the tv, so that the screws have something to bite into. I just don't think the screws will bite into the the thin steel frame very well. The SS said he would give permission for me to go on site and do just that!
I also enquired about the progress. To my utmost surprise yet again, he said the house is already half foil wrapped and the bricks have been delivered ready to start on Tuesday! What tha!! That wasn't all there this morning! I'm was thinking that the SS may have my house confused with someone else's, but he assured me that the tradies arrived after lunch! He said we were lucky as a bricky had just come back from leave and so he placed him straight onto my house! You little beauty!! We may now get ahead of the MJH behind us which started before us :) I was just dying to get back out there now and have a look!
Here are some pics of the windows and sliding doors
