Week 8 - Lockup


This week all the brick work was completed and received formal notification from PD confirming the house is now in lockup stage. Plaster work was started at the beginning of the week and plaster in the internal walls were completed.

Previous week they completed the Frame we did an inspection using an independent company on Monday before they started the plaster. There were few issues identified and it was communicated back to PD. Our SS gave us a call and went through the list of defects while he confirmed all of them will be fixed. They have been quite helpful and supportive in getting the defects fixed.

Following picture shows the main entrance that has the Corinthian INF 6G entry door with translucent glass for the main door and the sidelight. The front brick pier was timber post which we changed for a better look.



Following picture shows the side view from the front of garage side. First window is the lounge while the next two windows are in the living area.



Following picture shows the view from the lounge area towards the main door. There is an additional door to the garage. We decided to have 3 lights to each part of the hallway with two separate switches.









Following picture shows the view from the front door towards the back of the house which has the living and dining. 


Overhead cupboards and some of the cabinets are already fixed as shown in the following picture. Rangehood is not fixed yet. That will be fixed with a ducted vent towards the roof. At the moment insulation on the roof is not done as they are waiting to complete the electrical wiring to commence the installation of insulation on the roof. In order to meet the energy rating requirements the type of insulation recommended is R3.0.

In the following picture you can see the wall of the neighbouring house. They have already fixed the fence and the their garage wall is going to be the boundary of front part of the land.









On the back of the house we can see two big windows and the Alfresco (outdoor living area) shown in the following picture.



This is the main entrance taken few feats away from it with a much bigger view.
