More Excavation

More excavation today on the northern boundary of the property for the rain water tanks. Great to see so much progress.

Excavation for rain water tanks

The new builder started today onsite. First order of business was the excavation of trenches for pipes to collect the water off the roof. This photo taken along the northern boundary of the property. To the left will eventually be the deck.

The two rain water tanks will have to be below the lowest gutter (gutter still to be installed). They will be installed along the length of the property and be gravity fed. Overflow will then go to the street.

Window Casement Stays

Today the casement stays for the old windows were installed. This view from one one of the front bedrooms.

New builder

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. We fired the previous builder and as of today have a new builder who will start in 10 days or so.

Some work has been organised by us over the last few weeks. A highlight was getting the coloured splash back installed in the kitchen.

We have also being doing some cleaning up in the backyard. The BBQ is back in action and we have reinstalled the clothesline.
