Facade Weatherboard Cladding

The facade was completed this week.  Weatherboard cladding (on top of the garage) was installed last. It's a Scyon Matrix cladding. Very glad how it turned out - not too shabby.

We're slowly getting there. Paint works next.

Eaves - First Floor

Thought I would never see this day... eaves were completed today.

Weatherboards were also delivered.

Cladding were now ready for installation.  Matrix for the facade and Linea for the sides.

(Not so) Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a great new year ahead. This year will be awesome. Goals were now set for the business and investments. And with the new home set to be handed over mid-year, it will be one hell of a {crazy} time.

The construction was set to resume 2nd week of January.  As this day came into a view, we were all getting fired up. Very exhilarated to talk to our supervisor to hear his plans for the week. Unfortunately, the excitement was killed - Headshot! *Splat*. No plans for the week as there were "no carpenters" available for eaves installation. Tradesmen were still on holidays (well, good on them!!). 

What a way to start the year..  :(

Tradesmen were scheduled to resume the following week. Still looking forward to it. Thanks to our supervisor for the transparency though. All good. 

Holiday break

Our build had drawn to a close for this year. Sadly, nothing planned for the week before the holiday break.  

That said, our site supervisor had assured that things should get back on track when he comes back from the break (2nd week of January).

Roof Tiles - First Floor

Since the start of summer, Elderton was slugging away on the build. They just completed the first floor roof tiles at week 14. It would have been nice if the eaves and cladding were done.  Having said that, the build was still on schedule and no delays yet (touch wood).

One week remaining before the holiday.  So we are not expecting much will be done during that span.

Roof tiles were from Boral, Vogue range. Compared to other classic roof tiles (curved tiles), this roof tile has a flat profile.  Photos below were pallets for the alfresco roof.

.. and here is how it pans out with the whole house.

Fascia, Gutter, Sarking Completed

After 2 weeks, the installation of the fascia, gutters and sarking were completed. 

Photos of the roof sarking. It's the protective skin under the roof. 

Scaffolds for Fascia/Gutters

Scaffold planks were moved into a higher position.  Platforms were now ready for tradesmen to work on the fascia and gutters.
