Cladding, Electricals, Roof etc

Quick updates for this week;

Remaining cladding were installed at the side and back of the house.  Colorbond roofing for the garage was also completed.

Frames for the sliding doors were installed. Rangehood ducting were positioned to be vented outside.

 Kitchen bench electrical rough-ins for the outlets and strip lights.

Electrical outlets for the downlights (x15).  These were located in the family, kitchen and foyer.  All other rooms shall have battens for downlight installation after handover.

Since I'm not having NBN hub, Costa Electricals offered to provide a conduit from the garage going to the WIR. This means that the NBN box will be installed in the WIR alongside wih my router and NAS. 

WIR wirings and wall plates. Data and phone shall be running out from the WIR to other data points in the house. 

 TV antenna splitter

Roof Tiles - Ground Floor

Before the week ended, ground floor roof tiles were completed at the back part of the house (alfresco and media room).

Alfresco roof sarking

Aircon ducting

Colorbond roofing (at the garage) was left to be done. This was scheduled for the following week, alongside with the electrical fit-out.

Paint

Middle of this week, painting were done on the facade weatherboard cladding. As expected, the Flotsam paint that we chose from the colour swatches had a different shade when it was painted in the facade. Looked like it had a blue color hue. It didn't looked too bad. The black window frames even gave some accent on the cladding.  And finally, we had a glimpse of the actual colors of the facade. 

Scaffolds were down. 

We're very hopeful that by the end of the week, they could finish up the remaining cladding and roof tiles in the alfresco/media room. It needs to be finished before the electrical guys do their thing inside the house.

I have scheduled a private inspector before the plasterboards are put up. Rough date was mid of February but from the looks of it, it won't happen. It's a long way to go.

Downpipes + Aircon Ducts

There was no activity for two weeks until the last day of this week.  They just installed the downpipes and the aircon ducts. I'm not a happy chappy.

Aircon guy was outside, installing the duct in our neighbor's home also.
