Electronic Disaster

I do not know what wrong with me, all my electronic equipment has taken a dive, camera, computer and CD player.

So you will have to put up with no visuals...

Great news, my wonderful DIY wife has bought me a new laptop. (Totally blown away) now I can see WERT keys, they were worn out (I'm not a touch typist)

Passed!

The building inspector passed me on my Pre-line Interior ( sounds like a digital Dr examination) this means I can now line the build.

Getting There

They say it's not the destination but the journey...

In this case it's definitely the destination.

Closed In


At last we are all closed in and the build is now lockable.

putting the windows in was a bit of a mission as the double glazing made them extremely heavy, plus they were a very tight fit. The window manufacturers did say they should have allowed an extra tolerance of 5mm but we got them in. (nice to tell me after they deliverd them)

The bathroom is all ordered including the floor tiles and underfloor heating.

Carpet has been ordered for the bedroom, and they will lay it early February, after the summer break.

It's only stage 1 but I think it's starting to look quite good. (this is looking out of the 'gallery') the seat is so I can sit and imagine...dream??

Progress

To bring you up to-date the "Barn" is finally coming together. the windows and doors are all installed, the wiring is complete and the security system is in place.

We should have electricity connected within the next few days.

This means we are able to lockup and I don't have to disconnect and role up the power cable, pack my tools into my trusty 4 wheeler and trundle them to the garage.

This little chore was a little annoying as I haven't been finishing until about 7pm most days.

The weather has been perfect for building over the last 2 weeks clear, sunny and warm.

If the wind stays away I should have the Soffits fixed ( that's the lining that goes under the eaves).
