Framework ready for inspection

The good news is that the frame is now ready for inspection, at this stage happening at 10.30 tomorrow 10th December.

Posting a few photos taken yesterday - nearly all windows have been installed. And Rod called Friday to advise work on the roof should start this week.

Just needs the 2 master bedroom windows to be installed, plus 2 upstairs (hidden by the scaffolding)

hoping to find out what the pipe in the middle of the picture is, with the black and purple stripe...

We have vague thoughts (finding a spare $40K+) of perhaps putting a pool in in the above space. Looking at the area, if it goes ahead, it's going to have be a lap pool. No hurry!

On the left hand side of the house, I was going to put the fence across from the neighbour's fence to the front of our house level with our Master Bedroom, so that all of the front yard is unfenced and our bedroom windows can be seen from the street (see blue dashed line in photo).

Visiting with a friend yesterday, she suggested that a full height fence be built along the west boundary, then across the front of the property from the neighbour's along the footpath to the driveway/path, then along the path to the porch (red lines ). That way that whole length of garden from the back of the house (as seen above), to the footpath would be private to us. With a modern fence say in mirboo, it would look quite good. Thanks for the suggestion, definitely food for thought.

one more - the laundry is going to be fairly dark. It runs behind the two car garage, is approx 6.5m long by 2.5m wide, and only has one glass door on the northern wall at the end of the room. Easy to say now, but a window at the end,to let more light in would have been the way to go. I am thinking we could put in a skylight...
