Fresh Stuff Occasionally
I got a start on the cabling today. I spent about 6 hours on site and got the catenary cables installed in the roof and the Cat-5E C-Bus cabling installed in the main house. This photo shows the cables that I will install: Cat-5e for C-Bus and Alarm keypads Cat-6 for Data 4 Core and…
The power pole has been installed – The electricians should be coming back next week to connect the small pole to the big pole!
The brickies have started thanks to a cancellation on another job. After two days they have bricks to the wall height for about 2/3 of the house. By the end of tomorrow they should have completed the first half of the brickwork.
The framing continues. We took these photos on the weekend – about two-thirds of the roof trusses are up. By the end of this week we should have all the roof trusses up and we will be ready to start putting the roof sheets on and getting the bricks laid – all 19,000 of them…

We went down to our block for a look around yesterday. We took our two girls, plus our two dogs, plus my mother-in-law Anne with her two dogs and on the way we collected Mel (our neighbour to be), her dog and her three children. There were dogs and children running everywhere. This is the…
They do things a bit more slowly in the Blue Mountains. We exchanged contracts on our land before Christmas, but by mid January the sold sticker still hadn’t been put up. The property is a 15-20 minute drive from the Real Estate office and the land is at the end of a 2km road, so…
