Hello! How are you all today? I’ve been hanging around my block the last few days. I’ve had some decisions to make…
This week you can see we have more of the front of the roof on. The verandah has been sheeted today too. I did the electrical walk-through and I think I got it all!! So much to think about. Although I did prepare myself a few weeks ago. I sat with the plan and pencilled in what I thought I’d need. I visualised where all my furniture would go. I’m pretty good at visualising things. A lot of people can’t do it. I used to work for a building company a few years ago and there were so many people that couldn’t visualise. This is why builders have to have display homes! I can usually draw something and am pretty confident I’ll know how it will end up. Can you?
See that lovely red drawing I’ve done? Well that’s some fancy gable finial thingy I have going on. The BIG decision was whether to have the area behind the front entrance peak filled in, or left open. So hard to explain, but I’m leaving it open. So when you stand under it you look up and it’s pitched up in the peak. This also means it’s hard to get an entrance light up under there because of the pitch. But never fear, we’ve decided on 2 little LED downlights. They don’t take up much space and fit in without a bulkhead. I also have some other lights going across the front.
I have about 12 cavity sliders and they are now all in. How did I end up with so many?? I had no idea! Haha. I have sliding doors everywhere it seems 🙂
I’m still hanging for my floating wall to go in. It’s going to sit smack bang in the middle of the room diving the dining and the living with open shelving, a tv and a double sided fireplace. I’m nervous about it’s width and the position. Once that’s up I think I’ll be able to relax. I’ve never done this wall before so it could go either way – it could be smashing or a total flop!
The house will get all the electrical cable through today and tomorrow. The frame has been levelled and packed out ready for plastering (but that will happen in the new year). The carpenters are now moving outside for all the weatherboard. They’ll spend a full week next week getting that up so the house can be locked up. Then husband and I will paint that weatherboard starting 2nd January when we return from the beach. Exciting!
I’m off to the Marketplace today to help wrap presents for a gold coin donation to support the Baptist Community Church. I’m not sure I’m a very good wrapper, but I’ll see how I go! Come and visit if you can!
Have a great day! X
