Internal walls





The new internal wall in the old part of the house went up today. This creates the 4th bedroom in the old part of the house.














This is the wall for the storage room.
On top of it will be the walk in robe and ensuite for the master bedroom.















More high windows installed on the southern wall.














Another sliding door frame installed.

More bricks around the window at the eastern wall.











Also more scaffolding.

Even more brick and window/door action





Even though there was a huge thunderstorm in the middle of the afternoon there was action. The southern wall went higher.















The window in the eastern wall went in and also one of the sliding door frames.









The restored window in the old lounge room
(to become the 4th bedroom/rumpus room).
Note the join of the bricks from the old house and the new extension.

Brick Layers are Back








Today the old main bathroom window was removed.























Part of the southern brick wall went up higher. The laundry window is in. The holes in the brick wall are for the beams of the loft floor.

Scaffolding


This is the final week of the build for the year. Unfortunately not much has happened over the last two weeks - weather and the brick layers at another job. The scaffolding is going up for the carpentry. This photo is looking along the southern wall to the east.


















Looking at the restored windows for the master bedroom along the northern wall.
